Minnesota at Milwaukee
A back to back games for these two teams, but its not a significant factor either way as both are loaded with
their roster in full form and its still earlier stage of the season where wear and tear has yet to kick.
The Bucks had given one game away by simply gone brain dead in one quarter of the game, its no excuse to give up a double digit leads, given the amount of talents players and coaching staff on this team; but they were liked a division III college basketball teams. Seeing Mike Dunleavy brick shot after shot at a late and critical stage of the game they opted to live and die with this guy; We now know the reason why Indiana had let this guy go.
Minnesota is a vastly improved team coming to this season, their speed is a major factor coming to this game, it will be an excellent match up in this game. Despite a lost to OKC they have an eye popping stat and this will be more surprises to come.
As usual, the bucks will try to control the game tempo and play half court basketball, but it ain't gonna work as their back court will be out run, out guns, except one Brandon Jennings.
Take Minnesota +5.5 (.5 unit) score: 98-95
Take Over 189.5 Points (.5 unit)
Utah at LA Lakers
3 games in 3 days for LA, but its just a short distance to travel within Cali. It won't be a pressure for them,
even they may have to give more minutes to these guys Andrew Goudelock/Darius Morris. But they cant afford to lose 3 in a row, it's a must win or the house of card is coming down.
The Jazz has depth in their roster to win, but the work in-progress will last another year or until they can find a decent leadership to lead this team.
LA Lakers -4.5 (.5 unit) score: 96-71
