They do still have a chance to cover this 6.5-point spread if AD plays. 2022 is not the year of the Russ, let’s put it that way. Lonnie Walker is averaging 15.3 points but is shooting only 43% from the floor. AD is averaging 24 with 9.5 rebounds but outside of those two the rest of the lineup isn’t playing well at all.
