Denver Nuggets - Utah Jazz

I think the Hawks are a bit underrated at home, both teams are playing very well, but after back to back games, it will be a challenge for the Pistons. The Hawks are fresher, although it isn't fair to base it solely on that as we saw with the Bulls who, after two overtimes and a loss, struggled in Denver. However, the logic remains the same, it should be physically tougher for them + the overtime period. The Pistons excel at using their physicality against opponents and it works well for them, but the Hawks team is versatile, I would even say they look better without Young than with him. Everyone has their roles, great supporting players and I believe they will show their advantage at home with their intensity.

The Hawks are fresher, although it's not fair to judge based on the NBA standings, as we have seen with the Bulls who struggled physically after two overtime games and a loss to the Nuggets. However, the logic remains the same, that they should have a tougher time physically + in terms of endurance. The Pistons apply their physicality very well against their opponents and it works great for them, but the Hawks team is more versatile, even better without Young, everyone has their roles, great supporting players, and I believe that they will prove their superiority at home with their intensity.

There should be a fast-paced and exciting game here, with the Memphis naturally being one of the fastest-playing teams in the league that hasn't disappointed this season. With the return of Fox, the Spurs should also speed up their game pace for the rest of the season, especially during the current stretch where leadership is needed during Wemby's absence from the lineup. I believe this will lead to a high-scoring game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs, despite the loss of a talented player averaging 25 points per game for the Spurs. I think Overius might even have a bigger advantage, as their defense will drastically decrease without Wemby. I expect both teams to score 120+ points in this game.
