It’s Championship Sunday in the NFL and the NBA doesn’t care. We have two afternoon contests on the seven-game slate. We did have some pretty nutty basketball on Saturday night. Joel Embiid had another strong game to give the Sixers another win. He’s looking more and more like the favorite to win MVP. The Nets got back on track with Kevin Durant back in the lineup, beating the Miami Heat at home. Bam Adebayo almost carried the Heat to a win with a career-high 41 points. Let’s take a look at the schedule and lines for Sunday’s slate.
