Just imagine how capable the Jazz of beating the Lakers today.

Last outing, Jazz almost had a win against the Lakers, they only gas out in the OT, but this time, they can use the service of Gobert and Conley being a good point guard, so it's an automatic win by the Jazz. Don't overthink on this game, bet on the Jazz while you can.

I think Jazz really missed the services of Rudy Gobert in their first game that's why Drummond went on tearing the middle and scoring like 20 points if I'm not mistaken. But since Rudy will play today, it will be a different story and I agree that I don't think that Lakers can make it 2-0 against a full roster.

The betting odds shows that, even if Lakers get 1-0, still they are a huge underdog with 3.x odds. Punters knows that with Gobert and Conley, it will be a different out come.

Lakers already won by a large margin was even cover the handicap of (-6.5) because Gobert is back a it was a very different ball game when the Jazz team is almost healthy. And in the third quarter alone, Jazz shot an incredible 60% from the field, that's why they really took a huge lead and never look bad as if to show that the first lost was a fluke because they missing the services of the big man.

Steph back to playing at an elite level. He hit 10 3’s and scored 49 points to help the Warriors beat the 76ers in the first half of this ESPN double header. The Lakers are currently down 10 to the Jazz, which is to be expected with no LeBron. Kuzma seems to be leading the offense for the Lakers, which is some good experience but he hasn’t taken things to the next level like I have been hoping he would. I’d love to see him develop into a Jayson Tatum type player.
If not for the lost against the Boston Celtics, they could have been in a roll and Steph leading not just the GSW but the NBA with insane numbers every night. They also played good defense on Joel, although he did a lot of free throws, but when ever GSW will have a chance, they will double team on him.

Nuggets was also a thriller, I have Grizzles at -3.5 and I thought we have a good chance but Nuggets force a double overtime.

Nuggets vs Grizzlies double overtime. What a game! That was indeed exciting.
They just went back and forth with the lead. Jokic exhausted but still making great shots for the team. 47 points 16 rebounds. 45 minutes of game time.

Facu did pretty well stopping Ja. Barton with big shots and Dozier locking the win with his 2 high pressure free throws.
Great night for the Nuggets fan. That was worth every dollar for the ticket.  Cheesy

Nuggets knows how to win, they are behind most of the time in this game but they did come back. I am also impressed with the Grizzlies because they have been winning more games lately and despite they are playing on the road, they still have a good win rate record. I think I'm already seeing a potential playoff match up.

Knicks with a great win over the Pelicans yesterday, they needed that.  With that being said what in the world was Lonzo ball going to cover d rose on the drive down the lane down 3 with 2 seconds to go.  Let him score lol.  Left bullock one of the Knicks deadliest 3 point shooters.  If I was the coach he would never hear the end of that.

I was thinking about starting this topic. I confess, without LeBron and AD the Lakers are weak, despite the fact, in the last Jazz x Lakers game, it was a good game, KCP, Schroder, Drummond and others players scored well, despite the fact that almost all the Jazz players scored above 10 points .

Today will be an interesting game, and I think it will be "level", but I think Jazz will win!

It will not level, Jazz would win easily.. Last game was more "level" because game went to OT and there are a lot of lead changes during the regular time, this game, I don't know what to expect, hopefully I'm wrong.  Grin

Yes, that was exactly what happened. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Murray is a combo guard, right? (he can play as PG and SG)
Yes, that's correct.
But lately, he had been mostly a shooting guard although he can still handle the ball and make the play which had been Barton's job recently.
Well, this is what I supposed. Thanks for the this information @Reid

There's still a good news on that injury.

The good news is that the initial diagnosis of a bruise suggests KD avoided any major damage, and for now we'll assume he's day-to-day. Jeff Green and Alize Johnson should benefit if KD is forced to miss time, with more PF minutes also available for Blake Griffin

I hope he can come back in the playoffs healthy and strong, injury has been the problem of the Nets but Durant is consistent this year.
Regarding, this Durant's injury, I hope he will recover as soon as possible, I would like to see him play in playoffs.

This is a topic that makes me a little worried, what is the reason why several NBA players are injured this season? Is it because of the large number of games the NBA has been playing in recent years?

It make sense that Jazz is now the favorites because Gobert and Conley is back again.

With this two stars the chance of Jazz is really high,  Gobert are capable interrupting Drummond dominance inside, with Conley
and Clarkson shared in terms of their offensive attacks it's going to be a different game now, but if the same level do Lakers will
show it going to be more interesting.

Hopefully Dennis Schroder will play in this game, otherwise, it will be a complete domination by the Jazz.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/2067702/dennis-schroder

per update, he is likely to play but not sure if he will really play.

Not sure if Lakers will push this thing up, they need Schroder in the playoff they can rest him and conserve his health
till LeBron and Davis are back.

Depend from the coaching and the health assistant, they can sit him and let other players to cover his absence.

This is a game 2 of the WCF Finals. LMAO... I'm just curious why Lakers are now the underdog.. will Gobert and Mitchell be back in the line up already, or Lakers have more players that willl not play due to injury?

Gobert, Favors and Conley well rested but it looks like Mitchell is not available yet. His right ankle sprained, he might miss more games. Anthony Davis is still out, I don't know about other missing players in Lakers.
I'm expecting a good performance from Ersan again, hope his playing time won't be too lowered when Gobert is back.

Lakers - Jazz is a pretty good game tonight, feels like Western Conference finals. Lakers won the game in extra time previous day, they showed how big threat they are in Western Conference despite their 5th position. Jazz players looks healthy and missing players are back. We might see a different game tonight.
I'll watch Sixers - Warriors game first. I couldn't catch Sixers' games lately, I need to see how good they are, if they deserve first spot in East.

Kevin Durant has suffered in his knees when he banged knees with Trevor Ariza after that he didn't get to the game. Durant's knees are not yet back to normal now I understand why those superstars when they suffered a major injury and when they back to the court they are not the same man as there was when they had no injury. I hope he recovers soon, I really want to see this guy compete in the playoff again.

This will be the main reason why the Nets aren't that guaranteed to win the championship this year. Without Durant, the Nets won't gonna win championship.
Kyrie and Harden hasn't proven anything to lead a team to win a ring yet. I have been saying this everytime. No more Aldridge for the Nets as well.
The Brooklyn Nets could become the biggest fail to make an attempt for an easy championship ring, If Durant remains to be this fragile.

Nets look like they are cursed, they couldn't get all the big trio on the court too much this year, it has been basically one or the other out constantly and that is why people do not see them as potential champions yet.

It's just coincidence that the three can't play together constantly because they've been plague with injuries.

I personally do not see them as champions, that is really not at all what we should be expecting from this, there is really nothing that should be considered as the Lakers type of level hype for Nets, why? Because they haven't proven anything, anyone who has watched NBA would know that first seeds do not always end up being the champions, there is a good chance over any other seed, but if we do all other seeds versus first seed you will see that it is not that high chance, which is why Nets may have a good regular season even without star players playing together, but they won't be having this type of ease when they are in playoffs.

Of course they are not yet the champions because they haven't done it, but their chances are high because of the big three. Bucks already proven that, they've the top seed last 2 seasons ago, but lost to Toronto. Regular season and playoff are different. So let's see if Durant can come back in the playoffs and so is Harden and make a good run.

Good news that it's not a major injury for him. So this is going to give us fans an expectation that he's going to be back anytime soon.

They should put him at rest until major games comes to them and he's really needed to play for the team.

Maybe fans are just a bit frustrated because tehy were thinking that Durant will not be injured again, but things happen, once a player came from a major injury, usually they become so fragile and this is what happen with Durant, hopefully he can win this problem both physically and mentality.

There's no update yet on how long he'll rest, but I believe it might take a while.
I haven't thought that he won't be injured that quick since they've up with their roster.

But it's true that injuries are coming unexpectedly and you expect that in this type of physical sports, you'll never know when our favorite players will get injuries.

Just take your time to rest well KD, comeback quickly.

Playoffs would be a different situation compared to regular season because this is where true action would happen in terms of performance and seriousness on taking the ring.

This isnt something that you can just make yourself confident even the team is on top seed.I agree about consideration for Nets to become the champions which still in doubt
even though they are heavily favorite for that spot.

We might not able to see them 3 play constantly but who knows if in upcoming playoffs we would see them more.
