The Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies game was both great to watch and excruciatingly painful (in the first half at least) with the first quarter taking nearly an hour to complete because of fouls. Unfortunately, that theme might continue tonight with Nets @ Celtics, Sixers @ Raptors, and Bulls @ Bucks all having the potential to be pretty physical matchups.

Hopefully, the stripes can let the players decide this one, but we shall see.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Nets @ Celtics (-3.5), O/U 226 7:00 ET

Jayson Tatum hit the buzzer beater on Sunday to give Boston a 115-114 win and the 1-0 series lead. The Nets shot 54% from the floor and got 39 points from Kyrie Irving but still couldn't pull out the win. Brooklyn at least played well and almost stole one on the road, which should give them some momentum heading into Game 2.

76ers (-1.5) @ Raptors, O/U 216.5 8:00 ET

New Orleans stole one in Phoenix last night and the Timberwolves are 1-1 in their series with #2 seed Memphis. That should give the Raptors some hope down 0-2 as their Eastern Conference playoff series shifts back to Toronto. The big problem facing the Raptors is their health, as Scottie Barnes remains out but Gary Trent, Jr. and Thad Young are expected back at full strength.

Bulls @ Bucks (-10), O/U 225 9:30 ET

Chicago was within 1-point of Milwaukee in Game 1 despite DeMar DeRozan shooting 6-25, Zach LaVine going 6-19, and Nikola Vucevic hitting just 2-10 from three point range. Is that good for the Bulls - or bad, with a chance to get to a less-than-stellar Milwaukee squad slipping away and the Bucks ready to turn things on.
