Here's what the Play-In Tournament will look like:
TUESDAY:
8. Atlanta Hawks at 7. Miami Heat
8. Minnesota Timberwolves at 7. Los Angeles Lakers
WEDNESDAY:
10. Chicago Bulls at 9. Toronto Raptors
10. Oklahoma City Thunder at 9. New Orleans Pelicans
Here’s my Tuesday predictions.
The Heat have been a little better than the Hawks this season and I think that’s how the first play-in tournament game goes. Whether it’s real or not, Miami has something to play for…this is Udonis Haslem’s last season. I trust Jimmy Buckets down the stretch more than I trust Ice Trae. Give me the Heat by 3 setting up a playoff rematch with Boston.
Here's the big one. Lakers hosting the Timberwolves. The Kang and the Lakers have been playing some good basketball lately. Meanwhile, the T-Wolves imploded Sunday. The most overrated player in the league, Rudy Gobert, lost his shit during a huddle and threw a weak ass punch at his teammate, New Jersey native, Kyle Anderson. Then their best perimeter defender, Jaden McDaniels, doubled down with the punches, after he went Adesanya on the wall and fractured his hand. Out of respect for Anthony Edwards, I’ll say LA wins by just 6. This could swing if Gobert is suspended.
