    Thanks Merril! Highly anticipated show this morning. I kept refreshing KZread waiting for it to drop. 👍 No, I think it’s the perfect balance of totals angles and player props. It gives us enough to chew on and enough data points to start our digging and deep diving. Keep the format just how it is!

    Once again, when considering these previous matchups in December, let us remember that Darius Garland got injured after these games and didn’t return until the end of January. He had much higher offensive production prior to his injury. And during his hiatus Donovan Mitchell took the lead with offensive production. Since the injury, Darius Garland has not returned to his offensive prowess with the exception of the few games Where Mitchell went out on injury in the late part of the season.

    I'll also point out that one Celtics loss to Cleveland was an ultra bad spot for the Celtics, a massive sandwich. I had Cleveland +9 in that one because the Celtics were off that monumental nearly 60 point ridiculous blowout of the Warriors and had Denver up in 2 days. I'm surprised they were focused enough to build a huge lead in the game in a spot like that. I'm on Dallas +3.5 tonight because of experience plus I think OKC hasn't been tested yet and the long layoff may become a bit of rust. Good luck and thanks for all the great content as always!
