What a start for the NBA. Two games that came down to the end.
The Jazz and Pelicans played a barn burner with the game ending on a Brandon Ingram missed three pointer.
Lakers-Clippers had some rough moments but the ending was great with LeBron James’ stick-back providing the game winner.
Phoenix Suns -7 vs Washington Wizards
The Suns are more explosive on offense as the Wizards are missing several key players. Washington is so bad defensively, the Suns might score close to 130 points.
Phoenix -7
Orlando Magic -7 vs Brooklyn Nets
This game has Orlando written all over it. Like the Wizards, the Nets have several players out. They also are in transition with Jacque Vaughn. The Nets could end the quarantine as the lowest scoring team.
With all that being said, can you trust the Magic to win a game by 7 points?
Orlando -7
Memphis Grizzlies +2 vs Portland Trail Blazers
Could be the best game of the day. An 8 vs 9 game with both teams knowing the importance of the game.
Portland benefited from the break as they now have Zach Collins and Jusuf Nurkic back.
Portland -2
Boston Celtics +4.5 vs Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks aren’t playing for anything but Giannis Antetokounmpo is wired to win anytime he’s out on the floor.
After the Kyrie Irving experiment failed, the Celtics might be more of a team than they were with him.
Boston +4.5
Sacramento Kings -3 vs San Antonio Spurs
Oye… this game shapes up to be an ugly one.
San Antonio +3
Houston Rockets Pick Em vs Dallas Mavericks
I hope the scoreboard doesn’t overheat with these two offenses on the floor. The line being Even is perfect but the Mavericks get the edge in this one because they can score in so many different fashions.
Dallas Pick em
