Portland Trail Blazers @ Philadelphia 76ers

Game Time: 7:00 pm ET

DraftKings Lines

POR +3.5 (+136), PHI -3.5 (-162)
Game Total: 229

Key Storylines

Jerami Grant: Grant is notorious for barely playing in March but the Blazers seem to be pretty competitive, so I’m not sure if they will “shut him down” or if they will try to bring him back to compete.

Hi Grimes: Quentin Grimes is coming off a career-high 44 points after a few duds. Paul George is questionable for this game and he could have more usage on his plate if George is out as well. Andre Drummond started the last game but Guerschon Yabusele also did his thing so the Sixers could become a streaming gold mine.

Golden State Warriors @ Charlotte Hornets

Game Time: 7:00 pm ET

DraftKings Lines

GSW -12 (-625), CHA +12 (+455)
Game Total: 224.5

Key Storylines

Jimmy Butler III: The most interesting to me will be seeing how Jonathan Kuminga fits when he returns. I don’t think Kuminga and Butler are a good fit together so I’m personally not too big on stashing Kuminga.

Miles Bridges questionable: Jusuf Nurkic is also off the injury report. if Bridges is out, I wonder if the Hornets would start Moussa Diabate at PF (terrible for spacing) or opt for rookie Tidjane Salaun (deep-league value there) or just go to a very small lineup…
