Is it confirmed that Joel Embiid will be playing today? If he does debut this season in the NBA In-Season Tournament, I’m surprised by the current odds for their matchup against the New York Knicks. The Sixers are the underdog here, but there's no doubt the Sixers is more way stronger when Embiid is on the floor. Still, it's a risky bet as this game is definitely unpredictable. But I’m going with the Sixers this time, assuming Joel Embiid will be playing tonight.

I purposefully didn’t place a bet on this game because I didn’t know if Embiid would play or not. With all the drama surrounding him I think anything could happen. I did ask Grok though, who said Embiid would be playing today but is on a minutes restriction and will be limited to 25-30 minutes on the floor.

Well, Embiid's regular season debut was a bit weak. He scored only 13 points and grabbed only three rebounds, while his field goal percentage was only 18%. Obviously, the 76ers lost this game because this performance was not enough against the Knicks.
It looks like Embiid needs a little more time to find his rhythm.

The 76ers team is completely new and aside Joel Embiid being a rusty, it's going to take a while for the team to find its chemistry and get some momentum going, I really didn't expect much from them against the Knicks since I already knew what they were playing like before the big man, and now Tyrese Maxey is out too.

Although, I'd say I like the 76ers whole roster going forward if anyone is healthy, their new additions look to be fitting it perfectly speak of McCain and Guerschon Yabusele, they've both gotten a reasonable amount of playing time and showed that they can be counted upon to provide some quality minutes off the bench whenever being called upon.

No Chet, no problem! OKC still pulled off a win without him, going with a small-ball lineup that worked just fine. They’re playing a style similar to the Warriors ( I guess)... lots of ball movement and confidence in shooting. OKC really does look stronger this season compared to last, and if they keep winning, there’s no rush to bring Chet back too soon. SGA was unstoppable, dropping 45 points. what a show against his old team.

For 8 weeks, Chet will be out of OKC games but still, the team was able to win against the LA Clippers without. I think that SGA is very dependable guy, he's been consistent.

And with their next game against the Pelicans, without Zion, they might be able to get that one as well.

NBA Central is reporting that Jayson Tatum is planning on buying a WNBA franchise. That is a crazy baller move. A big risky too considering they aren’t profitable. He could watch 200 million dollars go up in smoke. I guess he has enough money to where he could afford to take that hit on the chin.

“Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum is proving that securing your bag means lifting up your entire community. Fresh from securing the NBA’s largest contract in history, Tatum has reportedly set his sights on a $200 million bid to bring a WNBA franchise to St. Louis – a decision that could reshape the landscape of women’s professional basketball in the Midwest.”

He's still got a long way for his career and throwing for an WNBA franchise could easily make him recover if ever it won't go successfully.

Alperen fully deserves the contract he signed.
In the match played last night, Houston defeated Washington 107-92 and Alperen made a double double again. He scored 27 points and had 17 rebounds.
He became the top scorer of the match.
If there are other players on the Houston team who accompany him, Houston will play in the conference finals and win the NBA championship this year.
Alperen makes a great contribution to Houston.

OKC is truly unstoppable if SGA will have a Mamba mentality since he has a very good accuracy that makes him very hard to guard. He usually just like to team play letting his teammates do most of the work that’s they lose on crucial whenever his teammates can’t deliver.

This game SGA unleashed his full potential since he knew that they don’t have Chet while the team rely on his shooting solely.

He should keep doing this when Playoffs if he wants to have a shot with the ring since OKC roster is full of young talent that always choke on crucial games.

This is the problem with very tall skinny players, they do not have the muscle to do most of the things they are doing, and this works for both skinny and really fat ones as well, Zion had the same issue because of his size as well. They become injury prone, the fact that Wemby hasn't had a big injury yet is just a luck, and I do hope that he keeps that luck going but I bet that he is going to get injured pretty badly eventually as well.

I do hope for Holmgren to get better without much pain, hip isn't a place you want to get injured but at the very least it doesn't linger that much and it is not about his jumping or anything, so when he makes a comeback that should be an easy enough thing for him without much of an issue.

I believe the skinny ones have a lesser chance of being injured, especially if they are guards who don't bump into other players much. Forwards and centers though are going to be a problem and Chet Holmgren is one. You are not wrong that Wemby might also end up being injured someday but I think he can build those leg muscles while he is still young and some footwork training might also help out.
I remember Steve Nash who I believed didn't have an ending-career leg injury because of his damn footwork as a soccer player. Those kinds of training will do them good.

Chet's plus for OKC is high, now the Thunder will be forced to play small ball most of the time and will rely on their offensive strength. 134 total points against the Clippers is damn high.

A bad landing after trying to stop Wiggins, that's a bad news for OKC as knowing Chet he's really doing well providing that threat inside on both offense and defense, hopefully it's just for the week and nothing serious about this injury that limit him from playing his game.

He’s going to be out for a few weeks, according to reports. Too bad, OKC had such a strong start! Now they’re facing a big problem with their interior defense. But on the bright side, they’ve built some early momentum, and once Chet is back, they should get back on track. Tomorrow, they’re up against the Clippers; let’s see how they handle Zubac, who’s been having a fantastic season so far.

Chet Holmgren injury update: Thunder center out at least 8-10 weeks with hip fracture

This is the problem with very tall skinny players, they do not have the muscle to do most of the things they are doing, and this works for both skinny and really fat ones as well, Zion had the same issue because of his size as well.

Hopefully with the newest technology that injury of him may able to cope up without any bad impact with his capability to play, though most of the time really affects players not only physically but also mentally, but with proper treatment and the rest that he needs overcoming this may take place and he can comeback even stronger.

No question that Chet is a great player and he really help OKC on where they are now. Its unfortunate for the young man to encounter another major injury again since his absence for many games might give effect to their team.

I guess they need good adjustment and fill what Chet left since if they cannot adjust also cover up those whole he miss out then maybe OKC might really have a big problem with this in long run.

Hopefully we can see speedy recovery for this young man and get back to help OKC to win their games.

Yeah they need the adjustment to keep their competitiveness, as the game won't stop after that injury they need t deal with other teams that will compete with them and they need everyone to fill that spot, so far they just did as they won their game after Chet's injury.

Chet is a promising guy, but this is his second major injury. It's good if he can recover and progress from this injury, but he should definitely do something about his injury-prone nature. Gaining muscle mass and strengthening ligaments is probably what guys like Chet and Wemby should prioritize in their training.

He had a season injury during his rookie year, came back last season and did put a good numbers and help the OKC to get into the number 1 position. Unfortunately, their last of experience causes them to loss the playoffs. Wemby though is different, he come in the lead very different this time, with more muscles, not like Giannis type of transformation, but he had put some clean muscles to help him in the league. Let this be a lesson for Chet, he is tall and lanky but doesn't have enough muscles to cover his body. He is a center and with that plays inside with some strong guys. So it's hard to compete with them, if you are not very strong. Hopefully, he can get back from that injury and in the next couple of weeks.

Even though they fell really so short with Cavs they manage comeback with huge win against hot team like OKC. This is great recovery after what they experience from their last game. We see Curry doing well and to many people got impressed again on how Warriors perform today.

Its good that they find good players which also contribute good that's why we see Warriors now became an exciting team to watch again. If they continue to do this and be healthy until playoffs then maybe we can see this team became a good contender for championship again.

Cavs are really doing a good job for the past few years, normally when Lebron leaves, that leaves a huge spot for teams and takes many years for teams to get better, and with the contracts they had for the big names, it wasn't that easy for most teams to recover. First time when he left, Cavs were just a tanking team trying to get picks and nothing more. Looking at them now, Lebron left for 2020 title with Lakers, and since then Cavs have always been good, not the best, but they have been pretty decent.

This win proves that they have what it takes to be at the top of eastern conference, doesn't mean they will be, just means that they could be if they wanted to and that is why it's such an important win. It proves that they are good enough to be at the top and all they need is to play like this every night, if they keep playing like this every night then I do not see that many teams that could beat them, maybe a few teams but that's about it, and most of them are on west.

It's too early to tell though. Looking at the Cavs' performance early this season, I think they are a serious playoff contender team. Again, that's just based on how they were playing in the last 11 games. Most of their games is either a complete blowout, or at least they lead double digits at some point and still managed to get the W even if the opponent brought the lead closer to their potential defeat.

About the 24-0 record, again, it's still too early to tell. Though, it's really hard to pull that one off, but their next 13-14 games are against weaker team. The only legit contender they'll be facing in the next 14 games are the Celtics (like you said) and the Nuggets, the rest could be easier.

They were almost beaten earlier, but luckily they managed to go on a run and win in the end. Looks like the Cavaliers' win streak might not last much longer since they almost lost three times in the last five games, including today. It’d still be impressive if they could break the Warriors’ streak -- they need 14 more wins to surpass it. I’m curious, is there a betting market yet for when the Cavaliers' streak will end?

They are facing decent teams away soon so I don't think they will come close to the 24:0 start by the Warriors. Sure they also play plenty of garbage teams but withing the first 5 next games they play in Philly and Boston and then playing Boston in the 10th game again, this time at home. It's fair to assume they will lose one of the Boston games since they match up quite bad against them in my opinion.
Still, of course it's an impressive start they are pulling off this season, no doubt about that. Yet, every run comes to an end sooner or later, and I guess in this case it's sooner.

Yeah just like what I've said, it's really hard to pull this one off breaking or even tying what the GSW did before. But, I don't want to take away their chances in achieving that record. Facing the Celtics twice in the next 14 games, I could agree that it safe to say they will lose in one of these games or even lose both. The only thing that would ate helping the Cavs in sustaining their winning streak are their momentum and growing chemistry.
We'll never know how strong they are this season though until they start betting stronger teams.

The Cavaliers’ win streak is still alive, they just beat the Bulls today with a final score of 119-113.

It’s getting close though, Cheesy

Their recent wins haven’t been as dominant, even against lower-ranked teams. But a win is a win, so hats off to the Cavs.. Let’s hope this hot streak keeps going. Mitchell led the charge again with a huge 36 points, while the Bulls kept it close with balanced scoring, making it a tight game.

Well, next one is in Philly, let's see what happens there. I guess the 76ers will still be without Embiid after his suspension so there is a chance to keep the streak alive. But seen they will travel to Boston and then I guarantee the streak will be over Grin

. Of course you never know but I have a strong feeling about that. And since Boston obviously is the strongest team in the NBA it's fair to assume that.
Nevertheless, the Cavs are riding on a wave of success and it's great to see that not the typical and expected team is on top.

The Cavs are the best team right now, so there's no guaranteed "streak over" against them, not even for Boston. They even beat the Warriors! But who knows, Boston’s strong too, and the Cavs will probably push even harder against them. It’s like they’re on a mission this season. If they secure that number 1 spot with dominant home wins, their chances of making the NBA Finals are high, especially if Mitchell stays healthy.

This is a fact with those players that are in those sizes. I hope that Wemby won't be on that situation. While praying for Chet to recover quickly.

I guess as for Wemby he's got a physical coach on giving him advise on how to play so that he could avoid injuries like this.

With that, it could be really his luck or he's careful even if he moves a lot per game.
