Denver Nuggets - Brooklyn Nets

The magic of the Cavaliers continues, as they still haven't lost at home, and one of the magicians of that magic is Darius Garland, who is having a better season in offense than last. Atlanta is a team that has been demonstrating very poor defense, and their opponents have been scoring almost oversiai points against them in the league.

Yesterday, Miami burnt a very good bet, so today they have to return it and Bam fits perfectly for that. They didn't have serious competitors yesterday, but still managed to come out with underdogs. Today, their opponent is even more suitable for an over bet and weaker under the basket, so Bam should easily score 20+ points without much resistance under the basket.

Despite the fact that this is a B2B slam, Magic is not so much of a better team to have such an advantage when they don't have Banchero. And the slams have been discussed many times, they need Peru and good leadership to be able to interest someone in trades, so it's not worth expecting any tanking from them.

Of course, there will be B2B competitions here, so there is some downside, but the 76ers currently seem like a weak team without Embiid, and even Maxey still looks weak at the moment. The Rockets often easily defeat teams with this level of capability, and the team itself can be described as having a full lineup. Therefore, I am trying to go with a better team at the moment.

Two teams meet that demonstrate very good numbers on offense. With Towns' arrival, the Knicks have significantly improved their numbers, while Dallas, even without Luka, still likes to play fast basketball and collect points. In their last 10 games, the Knicks have been scoring an average of 123 points, while Dallas has been scoring 120. It's unclear if Klay Thompson will play today, but even with him out, his replacement Naji Marshall brings positive energy and points on offense. I am looking forward to another productive game from both teams.

It's a shame that B2B and the French guy played for 44 minutes, but it wasn't necessary to perform. Gobert has been dominating under the hoop recently and has been a king of non-rebounded ball numbers in the paint. Against Sacramento, we should see this dominance, as the Kings allow their centers to take almost oversize balls in the league.

Wolves, for now, seem to be doing poorly as expected because the trades were not beneficial for them at all. However, despite that, they still seem more serious than the Kings, who seem completely lost after acquiring DeRozan. It will be a tough road game for Minnesota as there is no one to cover Ant on the road, and they will likely be without DeRozan today, which may actually work in their favor. However, the question remains whether they can quickly adjust their game, as so far, he has mainly been a ball-handler. I believe the wolves should not have a difficult time taking down this obviously struggling team, even playing back-to-back games.

This year, the Spurs have taken a big step forward with their veteran core and are demonstrating a stellar game at Wembley. Before the upcoming game, I want to mention that the Spurs have a record of 9-8 and 8-3 at home, where they have beaten teams such as the Wolves, Kings, OKC (excluding Wembley), and the Warriors. On the other hand, the Lakers have not been showing a strong game, although they have a 10-6 record and have won many games against weaker or injured opponents. However, it is worth noting that the Spurs were able to beat the Lakers on the road a couple of weeks ago in a game that was decided in the final seconds. It will be much more difficult for them in their second game at this arena, especially considering that the Lakers have not been performing well on the road overall. Even though both games will be played in two consecutive nights, I believe it will benefit the Spurs, who have a younger team and a deeper bench, and in situations like these, that can make all the difference.

After such a crushing defeat, I think LAL should bounce back, especially since they have been playing one of their best seasons in recent years. The Spurs also have a B2B game here with periodic rest, so they don't have any advantages. They will also be missing Sochan and Vassel, and Wembley will probably struggle in their unfavorable match-up against AD, who they have had trouble containing, as they have done against many others.
