We’re almost two-thirds of the way through the 2017-18 regular season in the National Basketball Association, and we’ve seen some surprising moments in the last week. The L.A. Clippers traded one of their cornerstones, Blake Griffin, to Detroit in what looks like the second step in a long rebuilding process (expect Lou Williams and DeAndre Jordan to go shortly). We saw Cleveland lose at home to Houston by 32 points — and we saw LeBron get on television and say that the Cavaliers don’t need to be on any more national broadcasts. In the West, Utah is the hottest team right now, winners of five in a row and scooting up within 3 ½ games of the last postseason slot. In the East, conference-leading Boston and Washington, in fourth place, both have four-game winning streaks going. Check out our NBA betting suggestions for this week’s action on the court.
