It's another 3-game slate in the NBA tonight, which can be somewhat tricky to navigate. Luckily we've just had one of these on Tuesday night, with the unique perfect lineup you'd expect with Jakob Poeltl, James Johnson, and Mitchell Robinson making an appearance.

Tuesday's perfect lineup was also top-heavy (James Harden, Jayson Tatum) so let's try to find that balance even in a smaller player pool.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Jazz (-3) @ Sixers, O/U 216 7:00 ET

Joel Embiid is averaging over 60fp the last two games, but that was against Charlotte who is one of the worst teams in the league vs. bigs. This game is an interesting one to approach considering both Utah and Philadelphia are on leg two of a back-to-back. Utah is probably a little better off since they beat Minnesota by 32 last night and were able to kind of take it easy down the stretch.

Lakers (-4) @ Grizzlies, O/U 223.5 8:00 ET

Memphis got T'd up six times in their loss to Dallas last night, now they'll have to take some CBD and listen to relaxing music as they turn around to face the Lakers on the back to back. L.A could have a rare third straight game in the lineup from Lebron James, who had 42 fp in a win over Boston on Tuesday.

Nuggets @ Spurs (-2), O/U 215.5 8:30 ET

Denver might be a bit wiped out here, playing not only on the back to back but after also going into overtime in a 114-110 win over the Pelicans. Tonight is the 6th straight road game for the Nuggets as well.

Tonight's Point Guard / Shooting Guard Notables
