A few #NBA notes heading into today’s 4-Game Playoff slate #Thread
The #Nuggets face a banged up #Jazz team with reinforcement. MPJ will get his first poff action after posting four 20/10 games during restart
Denver finished the season 12-2 vs division foes (including 3-0 vs UTA). Denver magic number is (30). They’re 13-5 when dishing 30+ assists
#Jazz May be missing Conley/Bogdanovic but it hasn’t hindered their shooting. Utah recorded 120 3PM during restart (3rd most in NBA)
#Raptors take on the #Nets as arguably the hottest team in Disney. Toronto is a NBA Best 30-8 since Jan. 1 (including 7-1 during seeding games)
#Raptors defense has been key. They haven’t allowed an opponent to score 30+ since Caris LeVert did so on Feb. 8
Speaking of #LeVert he leads an undermanned #Nets team today after becoming 1 of 2 players (Doncic) to average 25/5/5 during restart. The Nets scored 115+ in 6 of the 8 games
The #Celtics are looking to overcome a #Sixers team they struggled with this season losing 3 of the 4 matchups.
Boston will do so featuring three players that’s avg. 20+ PPG. First #Celtics team to do so since 1966-67.
The #Sixers have reason to be optimistic even without the services of Ben Simmons, Philly posted the league’s best offensive rating in the 16 games he’s missed this season (8-8 in that span)
#Clippers look to continue their dominance over the #Mavericks haven’t swept the season series (3-0) with a +11.0 PPG differential
The #Mavericks are the great unknown with both #Doncic and #Porzingis making their first ever playoff appearance.
