The four games on Saturday were clearly an appetizer for today. We have 10 games in total, with nine making up the night slate.

With that in mind, let’s get into it!  Guards  Ja Morant, MEM at SAC… Source link

Saturday slates tend to be big ones, but this one is tiny for some reason. We have just five games in total, with four fixtures making up the night slate. The different play styles in these matchups are fascinating, though. We have a Brooklyn-Golden State game that could be one of the highest-scoring games of the season, while the New York-Houston and Utah-Miami matchups could be defensive struggles.
