Does it seem to anyone else that home court advantage matters a lot more than in the past? Even top teams on the road are often expected to lose.

Excited for Embiid vs. Jokic tonight. I caught their match-up late last season and it was (objectively) one of the most exciting regular season games I'd seen in a minute.

PSA: Friday night's game between the Mavs and Golden State has been postponed due to the passing of Warriors Assistant Dejan Milojevic.
ESPN is going to air the Lakers/Nets game instead.
