Good overall night (4-3) Wednesday, although Jesus H. you know what, we can’t seem to get the good bounces we need to have a BIG night. Fortunately I like today’s card, too.
NBA Picks:
- Nets -1.5, 1.5 units
- Bad spot for the Bucks, much better opportunity for the Nets, who need to keep winning and winning. Brooklyn didn’t look very sharp in their last contest but whatever – this is a team that can LAY the hammer any time and eventually I expect to see much better defense out of them. Durant isn’t afraid of Giannis and he’s bested him plenty of times before. I think the Nets take this one – Milwaukee has a B2B tomorrow, too.
- Pistons/76ers under 223, 1 unit
- I have this at 218 and would take it down to 221, though I haven’t seen much movement yet. Both of these teams play slower, the Pistons have looked excellent on defense, Philly is due for a better defensive game, and the Pistons will likely give up in the 2nd half.
- Cavs/Hawks over 220.5, 2 units
- Hope you all snagged this last night but I would still take it up to 223. This line is too low. The Cavs have to play at a faster pace because of their lack of bigs (Allen and Mobley) and the Hawks should be able to score at will on the perimeter and in the front court. All over for me.
- Clippers +3.5, 1.5 units
- This is not a good matchup for the Bulls. Watching them win and barely cover against the Wizards only makes me like this bet more. They start off slow, they look confused, and their stars have been inconsistent. The Clippers got a big time uptick in momentum after that huge win against Utah and the return of Paul George. I think that carries over into this contest. The Clippers are pests on defense, physical on offense, and far better coached.
TIP: Consider a Durant prop – he’s due to go off in a big showdown game.
If you ever have any questions, message me here, on Twitter, or on Instagram. I will make myself available from 9am to 5pm every day, but please don’t expect an answer outside of those hours. I gotta shut it down sometimes. All picks are 1-5 stars based on unit size and confidence. 3 star picks are rare, 4-5 star picks are VERY rare. All plays listed are TO WIN that amount. In other words, if I say Bucks -3 for 1 unit, we’re betting 1.1 units at -110 or 1.15 units at -115 to win 1 unit.
Always appreciate all of you! -Chris
