The NBA is following up a massive 11-game slate on Thursday with another seven games on Friday. The action gets underway a bit later than usual – the first games don’t tip off until 8 p.m. ET – and the Pacers vs. the Lakers wraps up the slate with a 10:30 p.m. ET tip.
One thing that jumps out on today’s slate is the spread in the game between the Jazz and Rockets. The Rockets are extremely shorthanded at the moment, and the Jazz have ballooned to massive 17-point favorites. Is that a number they can cover or is it too high?
