Las Vegas - Starting out West with the opener of the Jazz/Clippers series, and we're not gonna worry about rust. Utah has not played since June 2 but at home, NO ONE does it better. The Jazz posted a gorgeous 31-5 record at the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City and they're not gonna make the same mistake they did against Memphis. Coming into the opening game against the Grizzlies, Utah was off for seven days, and the Grizz posted a shocking 112-109 win.

Las Vegas - Four game sweep of Miami. A week off for Milwaukee before game one. Guess RUST beat REST when the Bucks came up on the short end of a 115-107 score at Brooklyn. Give the Nets credit for an exceptional game WITHOUT The Beard, James Harden. But, not expecting Blake Griffin to score 18 points and pull down 14 rebounds again. Also not expecting the Bucks All-Star guard Khris Middleton to shoot 6 of 23 overall and OH for FIVE from downtown.

Las Vegas - Got some history for you. In the two regular season games at the Wells Fargo in Philly, the 76ers were -9 and -7.5. Embiid was in the starting lineup for both games.

Las Vegas - On the baseball board, I'll see your Jacob deGrom and raise you a Brandon Woodruff. NO doubt that deGrom with his 0.71 ERA is the man, but Woodruff is spitting some incredible numbers as well. His record is just 4-2, but the last five starts have been sick. He's allowed only 3 earned runs over 35 innings for an invisible 0.77 ERA. And, and, 43 K's. FORTY THREE! Brew Crew is gonna rock this party and you can BOOK IT!!!

Las Vegas - How much is Joel Embiid worth? Maybe $35/$40 million, give or take a few bucks, but we're talking point spread. The Sixers opened up at -2.5 over the Hawks in game one of the series, which tells us that Joel will probably not play. In the two regular season games at the Wells Fargo, the 76ers were -9 and -7.5. Embiid was in the starting lineup for both games. So, we can say the Joel is worth between 5.5 and 6.5 points.
