East:

Milwaukee vs Washington

If you like points – and let’s be honest who doesn’t? – then this matchup would be for you. Milwaukee and Washington both rank in the top 10 in points per game. Milwaukee ranks top 5 in the league in three pointers taken per game. With Giannis being a creator, it’s hard to not get open looks when that man is going to the lane.

Washington ranks top 10 in points, but they rank in the bottom half of the league in threes. They prefer to get this done from two point range. Getting the Wizards into the playoffs would also mean getting my guy, Bradley Beal, into the postseason, and off of the internet as a meme.

The Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers met for the second time in the 2019-2020 season on Christmas day and boy did they not disappoint! Both teams came to play and the environment was electric. This was must see tv! The game was a home game for the Lakers, but let’s be honest, every game at the Staple Center between these two teams is a home game for the Lakers.

Going into the game, Lakers had the second best record in the NBA, but were on a 3-game losing streak after suffering loses to the Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets. The Clippers had lost to the Houston Rockets, beaten the San Antonio Spurs and lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
