A player that has started the year far off from his normal percentages is Payton Pritchard. He is shooting just eighteen percent from three point range, as he seems to be pressing from beyond the arc. Yet, over his last two games he is 11 of 16 on two point shots. Look for his shot to extend beyond the arc and fall tonight against a Cavaliers team undermanned at the guard position.
Jarrett Allen should be able to beat up the interior of the Celtics with Jayson Tatum out, Horford in Golden State and Porzingis in Atlanta. Boston outrebounded the injured and hapless Pelicans by 19, but prior to that they were crushed by 17 and 16 on the boards in their first two games. Allen did nothing in his first game vs New York (4 pts, 4 reb) but sine then has had 29, 19 and 27 PTS+REBs. Since last season, Allen has averaged 23 and gone over this line 59-36 (62.1%).
