Knight was out with a upset tummy tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if a Knight doesn't come up with a couple of "issues" befor some of these games coming up.

Pretty favorable stretch for Utah in the next five.

Questionable tonight with a bruised ego.

Dallas schedule and % to win according to 538:
@SAC: 46%
@DEN: 37% (B2B)
NYK: 72%
@DET: 32%
@MIN: 50%
HOU: 56%
MEM: 63%
@LAC: 22%
@UTA: 26%(B2B)
SA: 27%

Only expected to go 4-6. Seems low to me. Would expect the actual Vegas line for Sacramento, Denver, Minnesota, and San Antonio to be different than those %. San Antonio's deep, but that'll be a Kevin Martin and Kyle Anderson job. Although, it could be dead rubber and mean nothing for Dallas as well. Next one against Sacramento a pretty big deal.

Nah man, this would win be HUGE for this young Suns team. I think Brooker will have a big night. Big statement game for the Suns. Gotta finish strong.

My impression is many of these models weight home/road pretty strongly. Hence the differences between games like SAC/NYK.

Yeah but, the Nets don't give a ****. There won't be any "tummy aches" come game time for the Nets haha.

Not to take away from the drama or anything, but these picks have turned out to be about as good as we could have hoped for aside from being #1 and #8.

Dallas is fringe lottery (thank you DeAndre), and Nets are bottom five for sure, likely bottom four, and possibly bottom three.

About ten games left, but I think we would have all signed up for this at the beginning of the season.

I got caught up rooting for the T'Pups but a Wizard win actually should have been the objective. Gotta root for those teams around Dallas to win so we can optimize that pick.

It was a fun game. That's why I get League Pass, when I watch two teams without a rooting interest I can enjoy the beauty of the game, not worry if Sully has missed a couple of jumpers.

Yea we definitely made that up. Knight is trying to score, period; and when that bastard gets hot, a threat on his family won't stop him from shooting.

Pacers up by 1. At least they're playing with more effort than the Cavs

Just joking about the WT headline above about Cuban blasting the officials on social media.

This game is not the end all be all if the Celtics win. The Nets schedule is still tough . I see them losing to the Miami Heat, and Orlando Magic.

Return to Boston Celtics
