The NBA had a light night of only two games Monday as the basketball world celebrated the second National Championship coronation in two days, with the Florida Gators winning the men's chip a day after UConn won the women's. Tonight, the focus shifts back to the NBA, with 10 games on the schedule.
The marquee game on the schedule is the rematch between two Western Conference powers, with the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder hosting the third-seeded Los Angeles Lakers in the wake of the Lakers' blowout victory in their previous game on Sunday. On the one hand, the Thunder have long been locked in as the No. 1 seed in the West and could have shifted a bit to playoffs-prep mode. On the other hand, they are still only two games up on the Cleveland Cavaliers for the top overall seed, and it wouldn't be a good look to get blown out in back-to-back games against a potential playoffs rival.
In the East, the third-seeded New York Knicks get another crack at a win against elite competition when they host the second-seeded Boston Celtics. The Knicks have very famously struggled against the top teams this season, losing every game and typically getting blown out against the Celtics, Cavaliers and Thunder this season.
Another game of interest pits the Milwaukee Bucks, the fifth seed in the East, against the Minnesota Timberwolves and their "seventh" ranking in the West. The Western Conference playoffs race is absurd, with every team from the fourth seed to the eighth having exactly 32 losses. Every win is premium, so the teams in that race should all be ultra-motivated down the stretch.
Tuesday's fantasy stream team
Brandin Podziemski, Golden State Warriors (available in 92.5% of ESPN leagues): Podziemski has been scorching from behind the arc of late. In his past five games, he has averaged 21.6 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 4.6 3PG and 4.4 APG while shooting 55.6% from the field and 57.5% from behind the arc.
Bub Carrington, Washington Wizards (80.9% available): Carrington is ending his rookie season strong. In three April games, he has averaged 21.7 PPG, 6.7 APG, 4.7 RPG and 4.3 3PG in 39.7 MPG.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Orlando Magic (92.5%): Caldwell-Pope is a streaky scorer, but he's been on a positive streak of late. He has scored double-figures in three straight games, a stretch during which he's averaging 15.7 PPG, 3.7 3PG and 2.0 SPG in 32.3 MPG.
Dre's bets for Tuesday
Knicks money line over Celtics (-120)
The Celtics have their entire starting lineup plus Al Horford on the injury report for tonight's game, with only Derrick White and Jrue Holiday listed as probable to play. All three of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis are listed as questionable with a legitimate chance to sit, while Horford is already declared out. The Knicks, meanwhile, are ultra-motivated to win this game with the knowledge that they've lost all eight games against the Celtics, Cavaliers and Thunder this season by a combined 160 points.
Giannis Antetokounmpo over 50.5 combined points, assists and rebounds (-120)
Antetokounmpo has produced video game numbers since the calendar flipped to April, as the Bucks prepare for the playoffs stretch with Damian Lillard sidelined. In three April games, Antetokounmpo has averaged 36.0 PPG, 13.7 APG and 12.3 RPG (62.0 total PAR) with at least 53 PAR in all three games.
Thunder -15.5 (-110) vs. Lakers
The Lakers have their entire rotation listed on the injury report for tonight's game, which also happens to be the first half of a back-to-back when the second half sees Luka Doncic return to Dallas to face Anthony Davis and the Mavs. The writing seems to be on the wall that the Lakers may sit their players and start their reserves against the Thunder, which gives this game blowout potential. The last time the Lakers sat their guys, against the Bucks on March 20, they lost 118-89.
Brian Windhorst and Kendrick Perkins explain why they have the Celtics as the favorites going into the playoffs.
