James Tillman III is here to tell you why you shouldn’t be sleeping on the Lakers when the NBA Playoffs roll around.
Yesterday, I correctly picked the Miami Heat to defeat the Dallas Mavericks outright, but Dallas failed to cover the +1 spread. With that in mind, I’m hoping to get it right across the board for our Sunday afternoon game that features the Memphis Grizzlies (49-28) taking on the Chicago Bulls (37-40). Without further delay, let’s dive into this matchup to see which team has the edge.Â
While the Tigers converted only three of their 13 attempts from beyond the arc, they limited the Hokies to just 40.4 percent shooting from the field and 29 percent from beyond the arc. Head coach, Kim Mulkey, who helped guide Baylor to three national championships in 21 seasons, has gotten LSU to its first-ever title game in just her second season with the program.Â
While they trail the Oklahoma City Thunder by just a half-game for the last spot in the play-in tournament, it’s no surprise that Doncic has been visibly frustrated as of late. After all, we are talking about a team that went to the conference finals last season. Now, the Mavericks are on the brink of missing the playoffs altogether. With just five games left in the regular season, the Mavericks need to turn things around, and in a hurry.Â
But if anyone thought that Miami’s tournament run was a fluke, the team certainly silenced its critics with an 89-75 win over the top-seeded Houston Cougars on Friday night, advancing to the Elite Eight round for the second straight season.Â
UConn has won their three tournament games by an average of 20.7 points per contest while limiting their opponents to under 40 percent shooting from the field. It should also be noted that UConn is allowing just 61 points per contest in the tournament. Taking that into a consideration, points may be a premium in this matchup.
As a person who grew up in the Windy City, it dawned on me that I have not talked about my hometown team all that much this season. With that in mind, today’s preview features the Chicago Bulls (32-37) hosting the Miami Heat (38-33).

Will the Bucks kick off their three-game road trip out west with a win over the Dubs, or will Golden State continue to perform well on their home court? Let’s dive into this matchup and find out which team has the edge.
