Bill Simmons thinks the Lakers are in the best case scenario and would beat the Thunder due to OKC’s lack of size.

But with ABC now taking 1pm and 3:30pm games that day (and Pacers-Bucks on the card), the Celtics could end up the first game.

End of 3rd: Lakers 99, Pelicans 77
McCollum 17 pts, 6 assts
Jones 13 pts
Williamson 12 pts, 8 rebs, 8 assts
Slightly better effort from the Pels but they still head into the 4th trailing by 22. They just haven’t been able to piece together an explosive stretch on offense yet. – 5:27 PM

Such a fun NBA day ahead… time to boost something!
The Lakers need a win in NO to lock down 8th, otherwise they will almost def drop to 10. Classic big game LeBron spot.
The parlay…
—Lakers +120 to win
—LeBron 20+ pts
Boosted to +200 – find it on BOOSTS on @FDSportsbook pic.twitter.com/laYEy0r3nc – 11:03 AM
