Today’s NBA games saw many of your favourite teams play some fantastic basketball. Betting odds were in their favour, and many of these teams lived up to the hype.
The question now is this: did you make the right free bets?
Boston Celtics 110-98 Detroit Pistons
The Celtics put on a great display of team basketball in front of the Blake Griffin’s Pistons. The Daniel Theis-led Celtics bench outscored their Piston counterparts to make up for Jaylen Brown’s poor shooting night. Both Kyrie Irving and Blake Griffin had solid performances for their respective squads.
Atlanta Hawks 93-116 Indiana Pacers
The Pacers didn’t allow the visiting Hawks a shot at the lead for the entire 48 minutes. Victor Oladipo had a terrible shooting night, but Thaddeus Young and Domantas Sabonis more than made up for his bricks. Meanwhile, Isaiah Taylor was the only bright spot among the lacklustre Hawks.
Charlotte Hornets 122-105 Washington Wizards
This loss can be attributed to John Wall’s absence, but doing so would discredit the incredible effort of Kemba Walker and Frank Kaminsky. The two combined for Charlotte’s 47 points, and the rest of the starters pitched in to secure the W.
Milwaukee Bucks 122-119 Toronto Raptors
This clash between two of the Eastern Conference’s top dogs was already as good as a playoff classic. DeMar DeRozan and Giannis Antetokounmpo traded blow for blow in terms of scoring, but Jason Terry’s overtime heroics, including the free throws that iced the game, secured the W for the Bucks.
Minnesota Timberwolves 102-120 Houston Rockets
Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns tried to lead the good fight against the Rockets, but Jimmy Butler’s injury sealed their loss. The exit of the two-way lynchpin allowed James Harden to run amok and score 31 points on 33.3% shooting.
Cleveland Cavaliers 112-89 Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis tried to put up an impressive resistance against the Cavaliers, but a Mike Conley-less Grizzlies team stands no chance against LeBron James and the Cavaliers. The King snagged another triple-double on his way to another victory. George Hill, Rodney Hood, Larry Nance Jr. and Jordan Clarkson also did a lot of scoring.
Miami Heat 123-124 New Orleans Pelicans
New Orleans fans at the Smoothie King Center were taken on a roller coaster after the Miami Heat took the hometown Pelicans to overtime. Goran Dragic led the Heat to a comfortable lead throughout the game before Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday made a feisty comeback to even the score and take the game to extra minutes.
San Antonio Spurs 119-122 Denver Nuggets
Nikola Jokic imposed his will as his own triple-double of 28 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists secured the victory for the Denver Nuggets. LaMarcus Aldridge’s 38 points are eye-boggling, but the lack of contribution from the bench sealed their loss.
LA Clippers 128-117 Phoenix Suns
The Clippers made up for their upsetting defeat at the hands of the Warriors by running over the young Suns of Phoenix. Tobias Harris led the starting unit with his 30 points while Lou Williams put on an amazing 35 points from the bench. Devin Booker could not do anything but watch as his team gets obliterated yet again.
Portland Trail Blazers 100-81 Utah Jazz
Damian Lillard is a dangerous man to face on the hardwood, and that makes the Blazers that much of a challenge for the Jazz. Donovan Mitchell did everything he could to carry his team, but Lillard and CJ McCollum were just too good for the Jazz.
Dallas Mavericks 102-124 Los Angeles Lakers
This was a game that was decided from the get-go. Seven Purple and Gold players scored in double digits, and Julius Randle got a triple-double in the process. Harrison Barnes and Wesley Matthews did their best to carry the team, but the Lakers were just too good for them to handle.
