Wow. Look at the basketball gods blessing us this Friday evening with a nice end-of-season matchup between the Clippers and Bucks.
We get MVP-level Giannis Antetokounmpo, Paul George back from injury, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, Reggie Jackson, and everything fun about this matchup. This is one that’ll surely set the tone for both the NBA playoffs and the fun and unforgettable basketball that is to come this weekend in the men’s and women’s Final Four. Right?
Wrong.
This is Clippers-Bucks but it isn’t Clippers-Bucks. It’s a nice little April Fools’ Day bit for those who were looking forward to a star-studded showdown.
Clippers-Bucks tonight will not feature Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Nicolas Batum, Marcus Morris Sr., Norman Powell, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton or Brook Lopez.
This could be an all-timer.

Maybe this will help you understand who you’re actually going to see tonight:

So, what’s the move, here?
Are you a believer in Bobby Portis? Or are you feeling that this is going to be the Serge Ibaka revenge game against the Clippers, who traded him away back in February? There’s a lot going on and it may produce the perfect mess of a night when it comes to betting.
Go ahead and get in some DFS lineups at a good value. Better yet, player props may be the way to go ahead of this unpredictable Friday night outcome.
Good luck.
