When the NBA SO/UP series was launched, I wanted to make a point of including different teams and making a point to not only pick games involving the Lakers, Warriors, Knicks and so on. That commitment has largely been successful.
Four new teams join the SO/UP mix Friday night, only this set of picks is going to be a little different. Due to the Thanksgiving weekend this preview is going to focus on the teams in broad strokes, how they’re doing and how we think each matchup will go.
SI Betting editor Dave Scipione is back to offer his thoughts on the two games we've targeted for Friday.
