Added a few more! Love the slate today – let’s fucking GO crew!
NBA Picks:
- Nuggets +3, 1.5 units
- There’s a reason why this number is immediately moving down in favor of Denver. Now, it may move back up tomorrow so buyer beware, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it didn’t. The 76ers played a TOUGH game Sunday, in OT, against Orlando, and barely pulled out a victory. They were down double-digits for most of that contest. Now here comes Jokic, the leading MVP candidate next to Embiid, and they’re off two bad losses in a row while vying for the top spot in the Northwest Division. Even though it’s in Philly, this is a great setup for Denver to get some redemption. They also lost against the 76ers earlier this year so it’s doubly redemptive. My money will be on Denver taking a victory in the City of Brotherly love – I’d give a little ML sprinkle, too.
- T-Wolves/Spurs over 239, 1.5 units
- Fast-pace, barely any defense, and two teams that score over 120 like most teams score 100. I can only look at the over here. If it opens at 245 or more, I can’t play that, but grab anything else for 1.5 units. Remember, the T-Wolves/Magic game not going over was complete BS.
- Warriors -12, 2 units
- Hammer time for the Warriors! The Warriors are starting to find another level of play and the Wizards just don’t have enough talent to hang with this version of Golden State. That’s especially true against a juggernaut offense like the Warriors can be, and now they have Draymond returning to clamp down on defense. The Warriors out-perform and out-pace the Wizards with ease in this one. I think they’re going to start looking A LOT like the version of the Warriors we saw earlier this year. Look out.
- Bulls -4.5, 1 unit
- Treading with caution since the Bulls have shown signs of shitting the bed recently, but with Caruso back into the rotation, the Bulls should immediately be a more formidable defense. They looked better already against CLE. With their ability on offense, if properly motivated, this shouldn’t be close against a bad Kings team.
- Parlay: Bucks win and Bucks/Jazz over 235, to win 1 unit:
- Perfect get-right spot for the Bucks. Even though they’re on the road, their loss to the Warriors was extremely humbling a few days ago. Great teams, championship teams, like Milwaukee typically respond and tonight they’ll get an extra boost in the front court by having Brook Lopez back. For the second leg of this parlay, it’s likely that the Bucks will bring an elevated fast pace to this contest after their embarrassing loss a few days ago. The Jazz have been routinely running “overs” and they typically score at home. Because of the pace and because this should be an offensive game against two non-rivals, I love the over. Perfect parlay opportunity.
