It’s an easy schedule for the NBA on Monday, with just six competitions after Indiana and San Antonio were rescheduled due to COVID-19 complications with Gregg Popovich’s roster, Feb 22, 2021 6:31 a.m. PST.
Southwest Division rivals Dallas and Memphis clash, and Luka Doncic and Ja Morant face each other. Elsewhere, Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls will march to Houston to face the Rockets who lost seven straight.
LeBron James and the exhausted Lakers are hosting Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards, who are themselves want to recover from a loss to the Miami Heat on Saturday.
The last time the Hornets played Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz, Charlotte lost 138-121. However, LaMelo Ball did not appear on the grid until his third game. The second choice in the overall standings brought 34 career-high points and eight assists.
The jazz defense just couldn’t handle him, regardless of whether he scored or moderated. Ball went 4-on-9 from downtown, while also using his nifty grips and quickness to get to the edge and hit the target. The Charlotte rookie has been on the grid for nine straight games and it looks like he’ll be there forever if he keeps producing.
Ball had a tough game against the Warriors on Saturday in which he only lost seven points. But after having had a huge night against jazz a few weeks ago, he should come up with some numbers again.
Ball averages 14.4 points per night, which is the number one among the newbies. He has also accumulated over 17.5 points in four of his last seven games. He hasn’t had a big night down the line against Houston since February 8, where Ball dropped 24 and dealt 10 dimes. Some of the youngster’s best games have also been played against high profile opponents, including the Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers and of course the Jazz.
Expect Ball to bounce back from a bad outing on Saturday and see his final performance against the top Seed of the Western Conference repeated.
When you think of the best three-point shooter in the NBA, Stephen Curry is certainly the first name that comes to mind. But Damian Lillard is one of the league’s elite shooters. We’ve all seen what he’s capable of, whether it’s a corner three or a deep bomb from the logo.
Lillard is shooting an impressive 38.5 percent from a distance this season while the Blazer Achieve an average of 30 points per game. He also tries 11 three points a night, which is the second most popular in the association after Curry.
Recently, however, Dame has been on fire. He has pocketed seven threes in each of his last two games. The two appearances before? Lillard emptied five. That’s an average of 14.5 tries in Checkers’ last four competitions.
Phoenix is one of the better teams at three-ball defense, keeping their opponents at just 34.7 percent, which is the third best in the league . But at the rate at which Lillard is throwing up and converting shots from below, there is a very good chance that it will sink above 4.5. Bet on the end.
