A Saturday filled with nearly 12 hours of playoff basketball; this is what dreams are made of {Alexa, play the Lizzie McGuire soundtrack}. In the 1:00 pm slot, we have Game 4 of 76ers vs Nets (+2). Joel Embiid will miss the game with a sprained right knee. In my opinion this is Brooklyn's best chance of stealing a game in the series and they're still underdogs. At 3:30pm, the Suns play the Clippers (+7.5) without Ka whi Leonard, also due to a knee injury. This series is over, and I expect the Suns to run through what's left of the “other” Los Angeles team. In the 7:00 pm game we have Bucks and Heat (+5) and Giannis Antetokounmpo status is still uncertain. The main even tonight (not Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia) is LeBron James vs Dillon Brooks. All eyes will be on King James to see if he responds to the disrespect earlier in the week following a Game 2 loss. This is essentially the first playoff game in Staples Center Crypto Arena since before COVID and I expect the Los Angeles fans to be at their loudest.
Let's dive into the slate.
