Top Storylines 👉📝
– Denver and Phoenix renew their rivalry
These teams have played three overtime games over their last 11 matchups. Nikola Jokić had one of the best performances in NBA history in their last game, becoming the first player ever with a 30-20-20 game. He finished that overtime win with 31 points, 21 rebounds and 22 assists.
The defending champs have played two double-overtime games so far this season, but have prevailed in both. They’ll have a tough task here, facing a new-look Atlanta team that appears to be a true contender in the Eastern Conference.
Philly has won 10 straight games over Charlotte, but this Hornets team has some sting. They grabbed a blowout win against the Brooklyn Nets in their opener and look poised for one of their best seasons over the last decade with this exciting young core. The Sixers have a fantastic young core of their own, with V.J. Edgecombe dropping 34 points in his rookie debut in a win over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday.
