The 15-0 Cavs travel to Boston as the C’s look to hand them their first loss of the season, while the Los Angeles Lakers host the Utah Jazz as Austin Reaves and company try to grab their sixth straight victory.
Cleveland at Boston. Cavs vs Celtics. This is the most anticipated matchup of the season thus far with the 15-0, yes 15-0 Cavs traveling East to take on the reigning champion 11-3 Celtics.
While Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are keys to handing Mitchell and company their first loss of the season, Derrick White will remain the offensive x-factor. White has averaged a career-high 18.9 PPG on 40.5% 3PT this season, serving as the Celtics' go-to weapon when Brown or Tatum hits a cold stretch.
Against the smaller Cleveland guards, I’m looking for DWhite to produce a great game, hitting his point total in what should become an early season classic.
Brandon Miller and the Hornets travel to Brooklyn tonight to take on the Nets in a middle-of-the-pack Eastern Conference matchup.
Miller’s scoring has slightly dipped from his rookie season, but his playmaking numbers are growing, averaging 3.8 APG and securing 3+ dimes in six of eight games in the month of November.
Miller and the Hornets should run up the scoreboard with the Hornets which will give Miller plenty of opportunities to reach this mark.
Josh Green has come alive offensively for Charlotte in his last two games, going for 15 points in each outing against Milwaukee and Cleveland, shooting a combined 5 of 6 from downtown.
I’m looking for LaMelo and Brandon Miller to continue to feed Green against a Brooklyn defense that has allowed 41 3PA over their last three games.
With Josh playing around 25-30 minutes per game for this Hornets team, this is a matchup he should thrive in to continue this hot stretch of shooting.
Austin Reaves and the Lakers look to win their sixth straight game as they host the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night. One player we are targeting on the Lakers is Austin Reaves, who has hit the 19+ point mark in his last three outings against Utah.
Over the LA 5-game win streak, Reaves has gone 20/27/18/19/10. The inconsistency is a slight concern, but he’ll be facing a Utah defense allowing 118.5 PPG and over 36% shooting from downtown to opponents. This is a great matchup against smaller guards and wings for AR to expose.
