Opening point spreads for November 15 NBA schedule

This is definitely a schedule of NBA games that was set forth before we got a multitude of injuries. For one, the top game on the eight-game slate is Celtics-Warriors, but with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson out, and Kevin Durant now in Brooklyn, we’ve got a less than appealing game. Boston enters this matchup with the best record in the NBA at 9-1. That’s got them as huge road favorites, and rightfully so.

I guess the other decent matchup on the slate is Pacers-Rockets, but we’ve got no Eric Gordon and Clint Capela for Houston. But still, the opening line on this game is Rockets -7.5, which is a bit surprising considering how well Indiana has played lately without Victor Oladipo and Myles Turner.

The Sixers should get Joel Embiid back from resting on Wednesday and have a full lineup going into their matchup vs. the Thunder in OKC. Philly needs a victory after a poor performance on the road in Orlando without Embiid and a narrow victory over Cleveland the night before. At -3, the Sixers are in a good spot on Friday’s slate.

Other than that, it’s a relatively OK slate with less narratives and more straight basketball.

Below are point spreads and the over/under for each of the seven games on schedule for tonight:

Spurs @ Magic (-3, O/U 211) 7:00 p.m. ET
