Caruso is back but no Hartenstien for the rematch.

Allen and Mobley feasted last week inside. With no Chet or IH, we'll see if they can do the same tonight.

That first matchup might have been the regular season game of the year. I hope this game also delivers

No IH is interesting. I expect OKC to come in with a better game plan tonight. They allowed so many easy Mobley/Allen short rolls into 4v3 situations last week, while Indiana showed a better way of defending that when they beat us the other night despite having less capable defenders.

I hope Jerome can play tonight. He was huge last game. With Caruso back for OKC, Mobley should be defending him so he can roam freely as a help defender.

The Pacers/Pistons game is big tonight. There are, no joke, currently 5 teams with 19 losses, all jammed up from the 5th, to the 9th seed.

Pacers win, they are tied for the 5th seed with Orlando, along with the Pistons dropping from the 7th seed to the 8th seed.

Pistons win, they move up to the 6th seed, a half game back of the Magic for the 5th seed. Pacers lose, they drop to the 7th seed, only a half game up on the Hawks.

Brutal in the East.

I predict all the road teams would win today.....besides Detroit, they will take care of business at home (I'm not biased at all)

Cavs should sit Allen and Mobley so we can have a fun game without them looking like they're bullying middle-schoolers

I'm surprised OKC is favored over Cleveland in the betting market with no Hartenstein. I know they can play small but interesting to see if that applies vs the Cleveland front court.

[OkcSinceSGA]

So WITH Hartenstein at home, fired up for payback I had OKC by 12-14 points. But with Hartenstein out... it's hard not to pick Cleveland by double digits. Just seeing what Allen+Mobley did last week was traumatizing lol. They just got dunk after dunk, lob after lob, putback after putback with almost no resistance. It is in OKC, so maybe they find energy to win... but the size disparity is just A LOT

OKC is very very good even if Cleveland is also very very good

It's a night for the home teams. Let's go Wizards!

[azcatz11]

This may be throwing money away - but I have executed a bet of OKC -2 since the Thunder fans on here are the best fan base in the NBA
