Celtics at Wizards. Who you got?
Adam Mares (@Adam_Mares): I think the Wizards will hold Isaiah Thomas to fewer than 50 points. That should be enough for a Washington win.
Zach Mikash (@ZachMikash): Time to put up or shut up for my surrogate team, I think the Wizards get the win at home.
Ashley Douglas (@AshleyNBAHoops): Boston. Isaiah Thomas is and the Celtics have some great momentum going. Plus I really want to see them win.
Evan Fiala (@eefiala): It’s time for the Wizards to pull a magic bunny out of their hat and get a W.
Gordon Gross (@GMoneyNuggs): It’s Wall Time. Gimme the Wizards.
Jazz at Warriors. Who you got?
Mares: Warriors. By a lot.
Mikash: I believe the Warriors will win this game. You can copy and paste that into every time this question comes up.
Douglas: Warriors unfortunately. Although I’m rooting for the Jazz to win a couple of games.
Fiala: I was going to be brave and put the Jazz down to steal a win in Oakland, but I just saw George Hill will be out. So Warriors.
Gross: The Warriors. Mercy rule after 3 quarters.
Which player playing tonight would you most like to add to the Denver Nuggets roster?
Mares: So many great ones to pick from but I’m going to have to go with Kevin Durant. Nikola Jokic and KD would be unguardable together.
Mikash: Jason Smith! RAMMIES!!!!
Douglas: Isaiah Thomas 100%. Nuggets need serious help in the backcourt.
Fiala: Wait, hold on Ashley – you’d pick Thomas over John Wall for backcourt help? I’d take Draymond.
Gross: Going with Adam’s pick – anybody not taking Durant may be overvaluing certain alma maters or positions over pure, beastly talent.
Make one highly unlikely prediction.
Mares: Isaiah Thomas will be held to fewer than 20 points.
Mikash: Triple double time for John Wall..plus 4 steals.
Douglas: Gordon Hayward will go for 30 points leading the Jazz to a double digit victory over the Warriors.
Fiala: Joe Johnson will hit a buzzer beater to stun Golden State
Gross: Isaiah Thomas (editor’s note: This is all he wrote. Just “Isaiah Thomas.” Bold prediction, Gordon!)
