  • 6:40PM CST: NY Knicks vs. Boston Celtics -6; Total 221.5

The Celtics obviously will be without Porzingis on ring ceremony night. The Knicks will be working in their new big man Karl Anthony-Towns along with Mikel Bridges. Life without Donte DiVencinzo. The Cetlics were a buzzsaw last season. A lot of new pieces for the Knicks and we don’t know how they will all mesh (KAT). The Knicks did play better against the Celtics when they did not have Julius Randle and played with their Villanova lineup. I’ll take the points.

Play: Knicks +6 (-108) [via DraftKings]
PROP: Karl Anthony-Towns Points + Rebounds + Assists OVER 35.5 (-110) [via DK]

  • 9:00PM CST: Minnesota Timberwolves -1 vs. Los Angeles Lakers; Total 222.5

This should be a great game tonight. This will also be the debut, not only for Bronny James (yes, that’s a joke) but for new Lakers head coach JJ Redick. The Lakers have a couple of injuries and will be without Jared Vanderbilt. Rookie Dalton Knecht and Austin Reaves are both probable. I think they will still play, but what I am waiting for is whether or not Naz Reid is going to play. He has dominated this series. The addition of Donte DiVincenzo should be a game-changer for Anthony Edwards, giving him some help running the offense. I’ll be backing the T-Wolves, although I expect a tough game from the Lakers.

Play: Timberwolves -1 (-110) [via DraftKings]
Prop: Donte DiVencenzo Assists OVER 2.5 (-145) [via DraftKings]
Prop: Donte Divencenzo Rebounds OVER 3.5 (+110) [via DraftKings]
