These two teams played each other on Thursday and the Spurs won by double-digits. Rookie Cooper Flagg is playing at a high level, adjustments will be made from both sides ahead of Saturday’s rematch. Although the Mavs have been losing a lot lately, they’ve been able to stay in games. This will be a good learning experience for them, San Antonio should be able to win but the Mavs can at least avoid another double-digits defeat.

Philly failed to take advantage of Luka Doncic’s injury and lost in Los Angeles against the Lakers a couple of days ago. The three-ball failed them miserably in that game, but Saturday is a new opportunity as they take on the Phoenix Suns who have just 2 of 3 games. Phoenix has enjoyed more success in head-to-head meetings, but their recent slip ups and the fact that Devin Booker is still out doesn’t exude much confidence here. Stick with the Sixers who have 5 wins in 6 games.

Cleveland has won 7 of 8 and looks like the team to beat in the Eastern Conference right now. Sacramento is tanking, they’ve lost 11 in a row and are playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back scenario following a loss at home to the Clippers. They’ve won just twice in 9 games with no rest this season, go with the safer option and back the Cavs here.

For the 2nd night in a row these two teams clash, Portland thoroughly dominated last night and won by 20 even without Deni Avdija. It’s quite obvious that the Grizzlies won’t be able to match the scoring output of Portland here after trading away JJJ. If Avdija returns it’s a wrap for Memphis, take Portland.
