Couple of upsets tonight:
Bucks losing to Philly, ending their winning streak. Joel Embiid put a sensational defense on Giannis in the fourth quarter and then together with Harden, outscored them in the final quarter, 48-31.
The Bucks were only -5. They are favored, but Philly is such a good team that the game could go either way. It's time for Philly to bounce back, and for the Bucks, I'm sure they can start their win streak again. However, it's important to see some reality check that the Bucks are not indispensable.
Sacramento losing to the Wolves - very close game between the two, but Anthony Edwards and former Utah Mike Conley seal the win for them Wolves.
I can see that the main reason here is the fatigue factor. They have been playing lots of games in the past few days, and their bodies have probably given up already. I believe that the majority of the bettors are still betting on them for this game, so the smart money goes to the Wolves.
Yes, it's back to back games for the Kings, and so the Wolves was able to take advantage early and then the Kings making that come back time and time again, and so it's really very tiring in this game. Besides, the Wolves really wanted to win this game, you can see the body language of Anthony Edwards.
As for Ja Morant, wrong set of friends, yeah he could be under pressure of the limelight but this is not the way to do it buddy.
You are destroying yourself, flashing guns. He really need help, specially from his families.
