Boston Celtics (42-17) @ Indiana Pacers (26-34) – NBCS
Boston enters the 2nd Half boasting an NBA-best 42 wins, and their superstars were on full display at the All Star Game on Sunday.
Jayson Tatum’s 55 points were the most in NBA All Star game history, easily earning him MVP honors.
Celtics co-pilot Jaylen Brown donned the Batman mask and finished with 35 points and 14 boards. The mask will be off tonight, so maybe JB chimes in with a 40-burger against the Pacers.
There’s no stopping this Championship-or-Bust Celtics team with an eye on Banner 18.
I expect them to win convincingly on the road and set the tone for the 2nd Half.
PICK: BOS -8
Memphis Grizzlies (35-22) @ Philadelphia 76ers (38-19) – TNT
A couple stud teams in primetime action Thursday night, as the West’s 2-seed squares off against the East’s 3-seed.
Joel Embiid has been hampered by a sore left foot, although his box scores certainly don’t suggest that he’s been limited.
There is no denying the impressive start of the Sixers, who would advance to 20 games above .500 with a win.
But the Grizzlies somehow remain one of the most underrated teams in the NBA.
Memphis features a formidable trio of Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane that can stack up against anyone in the league.
Give me the points in this slugfest in Philly.
PICK: MEM +3.5
Golden State Warriors (29-29) @ Los Angeles Lakers (27-29) – TNT
A quick trip down the coast for the Warriors, facing a Lakers team that should have both LeBron James and Anthony Davis available.
Golden State will be without Steph Curry tonight, so the deck is obviously stacked against them a bit, but Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole should still provide plenty of scoring relief for the Warriors.
The key for the Warriors will be on the defensive end, as they begin the 2nd half ranked 1st in the NBA in at 119 PPG. So scoring clearly hasn’t been the thing that’s holding them back.
No Curry…No problem for the Warriors at Crypto.com Arena as they look to get back over the .500 mark in the TNT nightcap.
PICK: GS +6
