My man, Michael Jordan!
Alright... really like Boston tonight but nothing on either slate of hoops I'd tease them with tonight... but why not tease the best 2 teams in the NBA in these spots?
Boston -2.5 / Lakers -2 -130 To Win 20 Units
Boston knows the Magic are the #2 in the East right now. However, this team coming into Boston is a shadow of that team roster wise. Pietris, their best defender is out. Bogans, still out and Nelson, a key in this game is still nursing an injury. That propels Johnson and Reddick into the starting lineup? To me, great PG play is a must to beat the help defensive minded Celtics. Someone to swing the ball, penetrate, and create shots all around the court. I don't see how the Magic can do that tonight. Perhaps Turk sees some time handling the ball, it might be their best option.
Lakers? They have been looking forward to this trip to show themselves off for real on the road. They might drop one here or there, but they will not overlook game #1 here. Obviously, the better team but when you can get the better team in the NBA in a non-letdown situation... you have to like your chances SU.
If Boston covers, can probably almost get 2:1 on Pacers tomorrow with an alt line of +3.5 for a small hedge.
