Hope the Spurs fans give DeMar a nice welcome tonight. Though I'm sure they will, the only former player I've ever seen them boo is Kawhi Leonard :lol:

Celtics-Hawks feels like a pretty big game for both teams.

Monk ruled out. Lebron, AD, and Westbrook questionable. Let the good times roll...

Spurs will probably win tonight. Chicago missing all their good defenders and are 4-6 in their last 10 games.

DeMar’s return to the Alamo City should be fun though. I expect him to struggle.

We might not even score 80 today if everyone is out.

I am not expecting a win from the Suns tonight.

Ayton, McGee, Cam Payne, Jae Crowder, Frank Kaminsky, Abdel Nader, Dario Saric--all out. Suns dressing nine players. Ish Wainright, and Justin Jackson are hardship signees and not really NBA players.

Elf Payton and Shamet pretend to be NBA players.

Given the way the Hornets play the Lakers should hit 110 easy.

Probably give up 130 or more and lose, but they won't be held to 80.

No AD and LeBron. AD has a new injury - his wrist.

Season is a disaster.

Hornets actually have the 12th best defense in January

Wasn’t Celtics v Hawks supposed to be the nationally televised game? Now it’s switched to Hornets V Lakers without AD/Lebron. A bit annoying for us international fans - especially when it’s my team that’s been moved.

Bad move if thats the case but injuries kind of came out of nowhere and it would be impossible to change it last minute. Switching this for the hawks/celtics game on the league pass.

Avery Bradley’s scoring has completely dropped off. He shoots knuckleballs.

In Australia our 2 games today are Lakers v Hornets and Knicks v Bucks. I am so sick of watching the Lakers/Knicks/Warriors/76ers. Another reason why players in small markets struggle to make all-star teams (I assume it's like this everywhere). Also, is Davis the softest/fragile player in the league? Is a walking injury.
