What Wednesday's NBA card lacks in quantity, it certainly makes up for in quality.
Despite just six games lining the board, bettors and fans are treated to a handful of pristine matchups.
Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Nets meet the in-state Knicks at MSG in the early slate, followed by Celtics vs. Bulls to break up the night. Then, the Suns travel to take on the Clippers to close out the evening.
Those three tilts also happen to be among the top-five games bettors are loading up on ahead of the early window.
