We’re treated to a massive 11-game slate this Sunday, with a host of franchises looking to integrate new assets acquired across a hectic trade deadline day.
Multi:
Memphis over Charlotte
Miami over Brooklyn
Chicago over OKC
Phoenix over Orlando
1. The Grizzlies will be looking to build on their impressive form with has seen them win 7 of their last 8 games, including 4 victories on the road.
They’ll come up against a Hornets outfit who have lost 6 games on the bounce (at publish 11/3) and will be coming into this fixture with a rest deficit.
Morant is balling at an MVP level right now and should lift his side to yet another win here.
2. This leg is pretty straightforward, Miami currently leads the Eastern Conference, and holds an impressive 18-6 record at home.
They’ll be facing a Nets unit who are on an unbelievable 10 game losing streak!
Brooklyn has also just blown up their roster, bringing in Simmons, Seth Curry, and Drumond, while farewelling disgruntled star James Harden, this move may pay dividends in the long run, but right now the once Championship favourites look like sitting ducks.
3. & 4.
Both of these legs are purely multi boosters.
League leaders Phoenix play host to the franchise with the 2nd worst record, Orlando. CP3, Booker and co are just running through teams for fun at the moment and will make little work of a side who are 7-25 against sides with a .500+ record.
Meanwhile, Chicago host an OKC who are playing the 2nd of back-to-back road games.
The Bulls are 22-6 against sides with <.500 records, a category the Thunder easily fall into.
DeRozan and LaVine are both healthy and balling hard at the moment, and I would be surprised if they combine for more points than the entire OKC squad.
