Los Angeles Lakers - Atlanta Hawks

Hello. NBA. Spurs against Nets. We're facing Claxton, who is always an inconsistent player and has never scored cosmically high points. His average for the previous season was -10.3 points, and this year he only scored 17 and 10 points respectively against Charlotte and Cleveland. It's not like he plays a lot of minutes even though he's the main center, and the game isn't really centered around him. To make matters worse, today we're playing against Wemby, so it won't be easy for him to score points. In the last match, we saw how Wemby was blocking Zion's shots one after another and ended up with 9 blocks. Claxton is not a good shooter from long range or even from mid-range, he mostly scores points under the basket, and against Wemby, that's almost impossible. On top of that, he's also a bad free throw shooter (only 51.3% accuracy), so even if he gets fouled and goes to the line, he doesn't make many points. I think 11 or over points is just too high of a line for him. Good luck.

Hello. NBA. Pistons vs Celtics. Let's go with Detroit to win by at least 3 points or over. Detroit is a very solid team with a lot of young talent and a standout leader - Cunningham. One of the Thompson twins also looks very good and is a glue guy in the team who can defend well and also attack decently. A good shooter from Miami, Robinson, has been added and he complements the team well, veteran Harris has also looked good in Detroit and of course there are young good centers. The team is definitely likeable. They were a fun team to watch in the playoffs and they gave the Knicks a hard time. I expect them to be a top 4 team in the East this year. After losing Tatum, Boston seems to have sold half of their team. They no longer have solid big men (their main center is Portuguese Queta) and Holiday has also been released. Their backcourt doesn't look as tragic yet, with White and Pritchard, and of course Brown. The problem is that even Brown is a big question mark for today's game. If we don't see him playing today, I don't see any resources for the Celtics to win the game. The season has started with two losses and I think they will have a third one. Good luck.

After the fall of Tatum, Boston dispersed and will not be contending this year. Detroit seems to be the winning team this year, playing well and should make it to the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. As of today, Boston's game looks like nothing and it's difficult for them. It's still unclear if Jaylen Brown will play, and back-to-back road trips don't add positivity.
