Tuesday brings us two different matchups that, prior to the start of the season, the TNT network was surely banking on as being must see TV.
The Brooklyn Nets, who traded away James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons last season, will play Philly in a battle for Eastern Conference relevancy. The Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers, Pacific Division rivals, are two teams headed in different directions.
The names are big. The teams are well known. While it might not have the competitiveness that the network schedulers had hoped for, it isn’t gonna stop us from throwing down a couple bets and analyzing how to increase the enjoyment of our viewership.
