OKC beat Toronto on the road. Without SGA or J-Dub. They now have 6 wins and 3 losses without SGA (54-55 win pace).

I wonder if their strong form without SGA will hurt his MVP chances. Although the same thing happened with DEN and Jokic. They played well without him. So the top 2 MVP candidates have had that happen to them. Maybe it won't cost either one of them as result.

Or maybe it will create an opening for a surprise candidate like Cade Cunningham to win MVP. Or Jaylen Brown. I see more and more people mentioning JB as an MVP candidate. Wemby in the mix too.

Celts have played really well without JB too.  Though it?s been just one game at a time unlike the others. 
Yup

Orlando Magics. With the tough wins in LA the last 72 hours. That was a bad shot from LeBron at the buzzer, and Rui with the airball the possession before

In fairness to Lebron, Luka had a wide open look but hesitated. He passed the ball to Lebron with almost no time left. It was so satisfying to see. I remember when Luka drilled a game winning three pointer vs the Celtics a couple of years ago. He was clutch then. Can?t help but think that somehow playing with Lebron is making him second guess his moves.
