International Friendlies

The Boston Celtics rested Jayson Tatum last time out, but he should return to help the Celtics breeze by the Wizards. Washington embarrassed themselves by giving up 83 points to Miami’s Bam Adebayo earlier this week, which they followed up with a 136-131 loss to the Orlando Magic. The Wizards have given up an average of 141.3 points across their last three. Washington haven’t been held below 100 points in their last seven games, but they might not even need to hit triple figures to top this total.

The Orlando Magic have won the first four meetings between the sides this season, and they seem to have Miami’s number as two in-form sides meet. The Magic have won four straight games on the road, while the Heat’s only two victories in the last 10 meetings between the pair have come in overtime or by a single point.

The Lakers have won four on the spin, including Luka Doncic’s stunning game against the Chicago Bulls last time out, which is the defining display of his Lakers tenure to date. The Nuggets overcame the Spurs without Wemby last time out, but that 136-131 win didn’t earn them a lot of credit. Before that, the Nuggets were 19-18 against winning sides, and they head to a Lakers team who have rattled off six straight home wins.

The Sixers are showing signs of fatigue, which isn’t surprising given how many minutes their starters have logged this season. They’ve dropped three of their last four thanks to poor defending, winning the other 139-129 against a tanking Memphis side. Brooklyn have little motivation to win, but they have enough talent to do their part in terms of scoring.

The Hawks have won eight straight games, and they have won each of those by a nine-point margin or greater. The Bucks have suffered four defeats in five, which includes a 131-113 loss to the Hawks earlier this month.

The recent buzz around the Hornets has been put down to their young talent, but the collective effort defensively they’ve been making has taken them a long way. Their previous four away games have seen them hold their opponents to 109, 101, 111, and 89. The Spurs are hoping Victor Wembanyama can return to boost them defensively, but the Hornets won the rebound battle with Wemby on the court in their meeting in January to produce a 111-106 win. The under has now hit in 61.2% of Charlotte’s games, and 56.7% of San Antonio’s.
