Hey we've got some good ones tonight you guys

- Two win streaks will enter but only one can leave as Thunder (13 in a row) host Knicks (9 in a row) on NBATV
- #2 in East Celtics visit #3 in West Rockets
- #1 Cavs battle Mavs in showdown of teams with "avs"
- Jokic vs Wemby as Nuggets host Spurs
- #6 in West Lakers host #7 in East Hawks on NBATV
- Additionally other things as well

I hope my team will help the Raptors tank, but our Injury list is better than our starting five lol

Hopefully Brunson is good to go for this one. Curious to see how we look against OKC, even if we'd still be missing Deuce & Mitch.

That should be a good game, maybe a final preview^^

Hey my friend, the poll is only allowing us to pick one team out of the slate of games.

Excited for the NYK/OKC game!

Thanks for catching that. Fixed.

OKC, Lakers, Celts all on b2bs. OKC home(vsLAC)-home. Celts @Minny-@HOU, Lakes home-home

HAve to say that BOS's b2b is pretty rough, Lakers had a long way to fly also. OKC stay at home for Clips/Knicks

Also, BOS/OKC play on Sunday in OKC, so this is a very tough run for both teams to get to that matchup

Hopefully it lives up to it. I'm gunna have to re-watch it after the fact, but am a little anxious it'll be a dud...especially with Brunson a GTD. Payne has been a great pick up for us and Kolek looks like he's going to be a player in this league, but for us to handle that OKC pressure we need our captain pulling the strings / taking care of the ball...even if Karl is able to push iHart around & drag him out of position like Embiid & Turner were able to.

Plus OKC being on the 2nd night of a b2b, while we are just starting one, makes me worry both teams could come into this one a little flat and settle for a competitive loss that they can chalk up to the schedule/injury.

[Jadoogar]

Oh pretty good slate. Celtics on a b2b tho (kinda helps the matchup ironically because full strength boston is much better).
Knicks/Thunder is the game of the night tho.

bad job by the nba for not flexing thunder/knicks

both great teams, both on winning streaks, ihart facing his old team


also the amount of star power

[UcanUwill]

Come on Hawks, Bron is on back to back, don't F it up.

[azcatz11]

Hornets pistons may be a movie tonight

Lakers played Portland at Crypto last night, Clav. It's just they didn't have Davis.

As an out-of-market LP subscriber, I don't mind that decision

Flexing what?

[Homer38]

Very rare that we have a matchup between 2 teams with 9 game winning streak or more...In fact this will be only the fourth time ever between the Knicks and thunder!

This game should tell a lot about both teams. Are they legit, we assume they both are, but both have lingering question marks.

[SlimShady83]

Back to Back for Lakers ... Expect AD to be playing or at least hope so.

Best NBA night of the season so far
