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.

On the ice, gotta try Vegas over Colorado. The Golden Knights outplayed the Avalanche is every statistical category, except, the most important, the final score. The Avs posted a 3-2 OT victory in Denver, but man, it wasn't easy. The Knights had 41 shots on goal compared to 25 by the Avalanche. Vegas won 36 face-offs to Colorado's 28 and had a 28-17 advantage in blocked shots. The only stat where they came up short was penalties. The Avs had six power plays while Vegas had just three. Fall into a 3-0 hole and the series is OVER, so the Golden kids GOTTA have this game. Gonna be a FULL house in Vegas and it's GONNA be crazy. Understand that Colorado is playing better at the moment, but with the Flower, Marc-Andre Fleury in goal, what happens in Vegas tonight stays in...the WIN column!!!
