Atlanta has won all three matchups this season.

Charlotte was crushed 123-88 by the Clippers despite Mark Williams’ 18-15-7 (career-high). The Hornets are just 1-12 in their last 13 division games—consistency, but the wrong kind.

Atlanta fell 122-114 to Brooklyn despite Trae Young’s 28-6-12 and Onyeka Okongwu’s 21-15-3-3, snapping a four-game conference win streak. Miles Bridges is out for Charlotte.

  • BOS – Jayson Tatum has recorded 6+ assists in each of the Celtics’ last 4 games vs. the Nets.

  • BKN – Cameron Johnson has recorded 4+ rebounds in each of his last 6 games.
  • BKN – Nicolas Claxton has recorded 8+ rebounds in 4 of his last 5 games vs. the Celtics.

Boston leads the season series 3-0, extending their win streak vs. Brooklyn to seven—at this point, the Nets must be tired of seeing green.

The Celtics haven’t played since these teams last met Saturday, while Brooklyn upset Atlanta 122-114 on Sunday behind Cameron Johnson’s 28-7 (equal-career-high) and Keon Johnson’s 22-8, snapping a six-game conference skid. Jaylen Brown is out, and Jayson Tatum is questionable. Boston is 9-3 without Brown this season, proving they still function just fine with a Tatum-powered engine.

Playing the second leg of a back-to-back, the Warriors host the Bucks at Chase Center.

Golden State won their first matchup 125-111 on February 10 without Giannis and now looks to extend a four-game home win streak vs. Milwaukee.

The Warriors were stunned 114-105 by Denver despite Jimmy Butler’s 23-8-6 and Draymond Green’s 10-3 steals-5 blocks (equal-season-high), snapping a seven-game win streak. Stephen Curry struggled at 6-21 shooting with seven turnovers and is uncertain to play—maybe he just needs a nap.

Milwaukee lost 121-105 to OKC despite Antetokounmpo’s 21-12-10 triple-double, proving even a Greek Freak can’t do it all.

Meeting for the first time this season, the Cavaliers and Clippers face off at Intuit Dome.

Last season’s series saw the home team win both games, extending a streak of five straight home wins in this matchup—apparently, neither side enjoys traveling.

The Clippers crushed Charlotte 123-88, led by James Harden’s 31-10-7 on 9-15 shooting and Ivica Zubac’s 17-14-8 (career-high). LA has now won six straight at home.

Cleveland fell 108-103 to Orlando despite Jarrett Allen’s 20-12, missing Evan Mobley (questionable). That loss snapped the Cavs’ franchise-record 16-game win streak—turns out, winning forever is hard.

PICK – CLEVELAND -3.5
