D’Angelo Russell responded to viral clips of him supposed to be crying on the bench

After a flurry of elite scoring performances on Monday night on the anniversary of Kobe Bryant’s 81-point master class, we have a slightly smaller NBA slate on Tuesday night. There are just 5 games to peruse through, but some great matchups! The Battle of NY (Knicks vs Nets) and the Battle of LA (Lakers vs Clippers) headline tonight’s menu, along with the Nuggets facing the new-look Pacers with the addition of Pascal Siakam. The biggest injury news is that LeBron James is out for the Lakers’ game with the Clippers, so we’ll see what that means for the remaining Lakers roster. You can get our NBA picks for tonight’s big games, but for now let’s get into my favorite NBA player prop bet of the night.
