Betting insights
- The Celtics eked out an overtime win when they played the Nets last Friday in Boston. Brooklyn is 9-2 ATS this season and 3-2 straight up at home. Boston is 0-4 against a -8.5 spread in its last four games.
- Joel Embiid made his season debut last night and dropped 13 points in a loss. He said earlier this year that he would “probably never play back-to-backs the rest of my career.” Philadelphia is 2-8 and a massive underdog to the undefeated Cavaliers.
- Oklahoma City is the biggest favourite on the board. The Thunder are 7-4 ATS and have the league’s best net rating but just lost Chet Holmgren for at least a few months. They host a Pelicans team missing several key players (Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, Jose Alvarado, Dejounte Murray).
- The Grizzlies smoked the Lakers, 131-114, when they met last Wednesday. L.A. has won consecutive games since against the Embiid-less Sixers and Raptors. Memphis has won five of its last six games but will be without star Ja Morant and Desmond Bane.
- Kevin Durant is out and Phoenix is playing on a back-to-back. That explains why the Suns are big underdogs to the Kings, who beat them by nine on Sunday without KD.
