    Croatians are born with that hair. It's a solid element and never needs to be cut.

    Buddy Hield 3 lousy points on 1-8 shooting. Knicks beat Pacers.

    So Embiid is out of MVP race then. Jokic and Shai are favorites but Tatum and someone like Brunson have a chance.

    Their record would have to improve but the numbers are there.

    I think the Clippers take it this year. 4 guys that can take over a game.

    Fan Duel has the Celtics as the favorites followed by the Nuggets, Bucks, Clippers, Suns and Sixers. So you're obviously not too far off from what some bookies think.

    Oh, if you're really bullish on your prediction you might want to put some money on it because the Clips are paying out at +800. That means you get back 8 dollars on every 1 dollar you bet for those who don't pay attention to this sort of thing.

    If you're a betting man - you ought to take the Knicks.
    Not sure what their odds are right now, but I think there's a decent chance Lebron gets traded there. IF he does, that would make a huge swing in the odds... then you can hedge it a bit after the trade deadline.

    They're +3500... so yeah they're paying more than three times as much as the Clips.

    Knicks at home are only 4 point favorites over Lakers. The game is on ABC. Those crooked referees gotta keep things close. Tune in at 5:30 to hear cascading boo's from MSG.

    Probably the deepest team in the league. Norman Powell is an after thought there and he was our 2nd option offensively on our last playoff team

    Yeah an afterthought that leads their bench in minutes and scoring as well as being the fourth leading scorer on the team.

    everyone knew Zach was a Bull 4 Life when they signed him to a major max contract. He was very popular, like a Haliburton from 5 years ago. Can't do anything about unfortunate injuries. The Bulls have to stick by their guy and hope he recovers.
