Spurs vs 76ers 7:00pm

Who’s going to win: 76ers, The big man Embiid (Center) has been on fire this season, he hasn’t scored under 30 points since November the 15th and it looks like it won’t end either. He also is making a strong case for another MVP. 

Kings vs Hawks 10:00pm

Who’s going to win: Kings, the Hawks are good on offense but their defense puts up questions. They rank 22nd out of 30 teams defensively. If the Hawks want to win they either need Trae Young (Point Guard) to go off or just simply play good defense.

Knicks vs Nets 7:00pm

Who’s going to win: Knicks, the Knicks have been a much better team defensively and offense since acquiring OG Anunoby (Small/ Power Forward). They should easily win this game. 

Lakers vs Clippers 9:30

Who’s going to win: Clippers, it’s a battle for the best team in LA. The Clippers have a stacked team, the lakers… not so much. If the Lakers want to win, other players like D’Angelo Russel (Point Guard) and Austin Reaves (Shooting Guard) need to step up.

Suns vs Mavs 8:30pm

Who’s going to win: Suns, Two former teammates squaring off Kevin Durant (Power forward) and Kyrie Irving (Point guard). The Mavs have been on fire lately with Kyrie and Hardaway (Small Forward) combining for 83 a couple games ago, but I think they will cool down and drop this Game. 

Thunder vs Spurs 9:30pm

Who’s going to win: Thunder, This game won’t be close but it will be interesting to watch the two leading rookie of the year candidates who are also both over 7 feet tall Victor Wembyama (Center) and Chet Holmgren (Center).

Heat vs Celtics 7:30pm

Who’s going to win: Celtics, It’s rival week one of the best weeks in the NBA. The Celtics should steamroll through the Heat as their roster is just unstoppable. 

Warriors vs Kings 10:00pm

Who’s going to win: Kings, The Warriors have been awful this year with them losing to basically the Memphis Grizzlies G-League a couple of games ago. The Warriors’ only way of winning is if Curry (Point Guard) goes off. Also expect the Warriors to trade most of their team, obviously except for Curry.

Magic vs Grizzlies 8:00pm

Who’s going to win: Grizzlies, with the Grizzlies getting an impressive win over the Warriors this team is not a team to joke around with. With all of the injuries the Grizzlies have had this season players like GG Jackson the Small Forward from the University of South Carolina have had to step up. Having his best game of his career I expect him to get more minutes and have another career night against this team. 

Cavs vs Bucks 8:00pm

Who’s going to win: Bucks, Giannis (Power Forward) and Lillard (Point Guard) should have a game with the short handed Cavs but don’t expect Mitchell (Shooting Guard) to have a bad night.

76ers vs Nuggets 5:30pm

Who’s going to win: 76ers, a huge matchup between the 20201 MVP Nikola Jokić (Center) and the 2022 MVP Joel Embiid. With Maxey (Point Guard) the 76ers have a hard duo to stop. 

Lakers vs Warriors 8:30pm

Who’s going to win: Lakers, A lot of people are saying that the Warriors dynasty is over and it looks like the truth. With Thompson (Shooting Guard) not shooting well, players not wanting to be there, and the Draymond Green (Power Forward) situation things are getting out of hand for the Warriors. If they want their players happy and if they want to win the need to trade sooner than later.

Grizzlies vs Pacers 3:30pm

Who’s going to win: Pacers, with the Pacers acquiring Siakam (Power Forward) they might have found the piece they needed to reach the next level. When Halliburton (Point Guard) comes back from his injury he won’t have to carry the team as much and will have a lot more help. 

Raptors vs Hawks 6:00pmWho’s going to win: Hawks, with Jalen Johnson (Small Forward) dwelling before our eyes, he is what the Hawks need: a guy who could replace John Collins (Power Forward) who was traded to the Utah Jazz. As for the Raptors they have gone into rebuild mode making a good bit of moves this season. They also acquired 3 first round picks.
