Welcome to the Halloween edition of the NBA Hot Sheet. I’m not a big Halloween guy but if you are looking for an easy last-minute costume for your child I do remember dressing up as a “Sports Nut” one year where I wore a sports jersey and a football helmet with a bunch of peanuts taped all over me. Classic!
While we only have four games on the slate Tuesday night, there should be some entertaining games to watch while you stuff your face with Halloween candy. We have the two fastest pace teams (Suns/Nets) squaring off in Brooklyn and a marquee matchup between Russell Westbrook and Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee.
The grid below is a snapshot of today’s slate that shows the overall rating for each position for each team. The numbers highlighted in red are the positions that are in the top 25% of their position for the slate and indicate good plays. Meanwhile, the numbers highlighted in blue are the positions that are in the bottom 25% of their respective position for the slate and are positions to avoid. To get a full rundown of the numbers behind the rating check out my first NBA Hot Sheet article of the season.
