IND (25-15)

Yeet came into this league a fresh faced, loud mouth kid. Nothing has changed obviously but the positive thing that has come early in his NSL career, is that he's still here. I'm serious, there's a long laundry list of GM's that have come and gone. It's a lot of work and commitment involved in running a team and to still stay this engaged and involved, it's a credit to him. Yeet lost no time making his mark on his this team and despite a little drunken stumble here and there has stayed the course and is reaping the benefits.



BOS (25-16)

There was a time that I can remember when young Toby came into our league much the same as Yeet. Trying to make his mark and begin to shape a team of his own. Sure he always did tend to keep to himself a little more. Quiet and Unassuming, probably used to his older brother sucking all the air out of every room leaving little left for him to operate. What's left is a shrewd trade monger who sticks to his guns, able to see a vision he wants for his team while taking continuous steps towards it to reach his goals.

Back court:
 

Henderson/Powell Vs Garland/Books:


After looking like a pick that was nearly bust like territory Scoot has finally started to come good. His role in this NBA is probably still a little bit away but all Yeet needed was him not to progressively get 2k nerfed into oblivion. The NSL comes with a lot of luck and although you could easily argue Yeet has seen his fair share of it already, Powell breaking out is icing on the cake.

Boston's backcourt is the perfect balance of ying and yang. Garland is an assassins from deep able to run the offence while Brooks is the enforcer, shutting down the oppositions best guard. Scoot is still so raw and Powell is probably a season away from getting the 2k love he deserves. You would have to think the experience and polish of the duo gets the edge here.



front court:

 

Bridges/Bol Bol/Wemby Vs Tatum/TJD/Sengun

Indy have done well to compliment Wembys skillset with size, length and athleticism. The fact that they can all shoot from deep just offers more space for him to operate in. Indy have just got a bunch of swiss army knives that on any given night can get you a bucket from anywhere, play make and lock down on D.

Boston again have the established talent. Tatum, a legit front runner for MVP is having a killer season. Sengun is still in that Sabonis/KAT like territory where although he is super effective, is somewhat eclipsed by his NBA self. Toby would be hoping his NSL game opens up sooner rather then later. Throw in a handy, young rim running big in TJD and that's pretty much all you need. At the end of the day Wembys impact on the 2k floor is unmatched and regardless of Bostons more established talent he helps tip the scales for Indy.





Pacers Star

Bol Bol

A recent pick up for the Pacers who is a glitch king. It's like having Wemby lite out there. Whatever they can get out of Bol Bol on the defensive end especially will be huge.

Celtics Star

Dillon Brooks

You would have to imagine Brooks takes the assignment on Powell. Ether way, whatever he can do to limit any of Indy's guards is crucial given they rely so heavily on their scoring and ability to feed Wemby. 


X-Factor
I mean... It's got to be Wemby. Even on his 'off nights' he manages to drop 25/15 but sometimes he has games where he just takes over and effects every facet of the game. It MAY take that from him to get over Boston here...

Injury Report
Injured Players:
Jared McCain (Knee) - 26 NBA Games missed this season
Jonathan Kuminga (Illness/Ankle) - 19 NBA Games missed this season


Injured Players:
Craig Porter Jr. (Thumb/Illness/Ankle) - 8 NBA Games missed this season
Isaac Okoro (Ankle/Knee/Shoulder) - 23 NBA Games missed this season



Prediction
I think Boston will be too much for Indy. They have too many weapons and no one really able to stop the likes of Tatum and Garland. They're running in fine form lately while Indy are still finding their feet a little. 

Boston by 8.
