Tonight one of Adam Silver’s most successful ventures kicks off.
The NBA Play-In Tournament has been successful beyond expectations. With the exception of the last season’s Dallas Mavericks, most teams on the cusp of getting the additional playoff revenue chases after it which means this is working to perfection!
LeBron James once called it a stupid idea now his legacy has playing in it intertwined with the rest of his career.
Los Angeles Lakers at New Orleans Pelicans
Line: New Orleans Pelicans -1
Total: 224.5
How much do you believe is Los Angeles determines what you do with this? It’s been years since Anthony Davis was ruling the Crescent City so it’s hard to call this a Davis “Revenge Game” but both teams certainly want to avoid playing for the 8th spot despite the fact that the winner has a date with the Denver Nuggets.
Pick: Over 224.5
Prop: LeBron James Over 44.5 Pts + Reb + Ast
Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings
Line: Golden State Warriors -2
Total: 223
The Warriors are the Warriors and they’re a hard team to bet against especially in a winner take all affair. This isn’t the time to think different. Golden State has owned Sacramento the way Shaq’s Lakers used to. Road team or no road team Golden State is the play.
Pick: Golden State -2
Prop: De’Aaron Fox Over 35.5 Pts + Ast
