The dust is settling on another chaotic NBA trade window, the Lakers pulled off the heist in modern history, swapping out AD for Luka, elsewhere Jimmy Butler made his way west to join the Dubs, collecting $120m USD as he passed go, Dennis Schroder was traded 4 times in 36 hrs after comparing the trade market to the slave market, and KD, Beal and Booker remained together in Phoenix.
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at the Saturday slate!
Cleveland by 10+ against Washington
The Cavs play the Wizards for the fourth and final time this season after winning the previous three meetings, all by a margin of 10+ points. Cleveland has strengthened their side during the trade period, while the Wiz have taken on a few bad contracts in order to secure more draft capital. Cavs by 10+.
San Antonio def Charlotte
The Spurs added All-Star calibre guard De’Aron Fox to their squad of loaded young talent, creating a mouthwatering partnership with Wemby in the pick ‘n roll. Meanwhile, the Hornets traded away their starting center, for a few outside shooters. Wemby could have a field day here.
OKC by 10+ against Toronto
OKC holds the best record in the league, and are 22-3 on their home floor. They’ll face a struggling Raptors outfit, who they defeated by 37 points last time out. The Thunder will make short work of this game. OKC by 10+.
