What a bounce back day! After our first losing day (2-3), we post a 5-1 record.
Brooklyn Nets +19 vs Milwaukee Bucks
This is the first really big line since we’ve been in the bubble. This could be an opportunity for the Bucks to balance out minutes which puts
Brooklyn +19
Dallas Mavericks -6 vs Sacramento Kings
The Kings haven’t won a game in the bubble yet. Dallas isn’t the opponent that will help Sacramento break that stretch.
Dallas -6
Los Angeles Clippers -8.5 vs Phoenix Suns
How important is the second spot to the Clippers? That is what determines when Doc starts to pull back on the starters minutes.
Right now, the Clippers are two games ahead of the Denver Nuggets.
Los Angeles -8.5
Orlando Magic -1.5 vs Indiana Pacers
Indiana is only a game ahead a Philadelphia and a game by the Miami Heat. They have a lot more at stake than the Magic who are pretty much locked into the eighth spot.
The Pacers’ TJ Warren has averaged 43.5 ppg in the bubble.
Indiana +1.5
Boston Celtics -3.5 vs Miami Heat
Could be the most fun game of the day. Both teams love to defend and grind out wins but the difference between the two comes down to the ability to close games.
Boston has two players who can close out a game: Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The Heat have one: Jimmy Butler.
Boston -3.5
Houston Rockets -4 vs Portland Trail Blazers
Houston is coming off an impressive win against the Milwaukee Bucks. The intriguing matchup in this one goes beyond the backcourt.
Who can win the battle of the forwards? Will it be the Rockets (PJ Tucker/Robert Covington) or the Blazers (Carmelo Anthony/Zach Collins)?
Portland +4
