Stones should get the win here vs. Cleveland. Blake Griffin looks healthy and Kennard is starting to come on. Having Reggie Jackson out is great because Rose plays more minutes. Cleveland is not very good and they refuse to give their best player more touches.
Mavs have been hot lately and are playing great ball. Doncic has surprised this year a bit, as I was expecting more of a 26 7 and 7 kind of season. He is an MVP candidate. However, Jrue Holiday is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA and you can bet he will demand to guard Doncic during this entire game. Doncic projected pts rebounds and assists is at 50-52, and I see him going under that number. Porzingy has a plus matchup with most of New Orleans front court injured, but he has been relegated to a spot up shooter this year.
I think JJ Reddick and the New Orleans offense could give the Mavs some fits. They will likely play some small ball with Lonzo and Hart in the lineup as well and Mavs are not the best defensive team.
You'll get the Pistons for sure but not the Pelicans bet I don't think so.. Mavericks got this.. Came on strong with the starters late in the first half.. Will close out strong in the 2nd half.. Watching the game now..
Sorry Goaty I love ya but this parlay long shot ain't hitting.. Was a very commendable good try though...
