Let’s keep this heater going!
Wizards -3 (-110), to win 1 unit
There’s not a lot to like about the Hornets right now, whereas the Wizards seem to be growing exponentially as a team. They should be able to shut down Charlotte’s clunky offense, one that’s 30th in its last 5 games, and the Wizards’ offense is blossoming behind some Kuzma-confidence and burgeoning young players. Beal is pretty nice, too. Go Wiz!
Raptors +2.5 (-110), to win 1.5 units
Beautiful spot for the Raptors, who already lost twice to the Nets, off a big loss. Their responses are typically always really strong and since they’ve fallen to Brooklyn already, this game will be circled. Oh yea, and they’re as healthy as they’ve ever been heading into this matchup. The Nets have talent, we know (eye roll), but they’re soft as fuck. Toronto out-toughens Brooklyn in NYC through a lot of paint points and interior talent.
Warriors 1H -4 or -3.5 (-110), to the 1.5 units
Warriors -7 (-110), to win 1 unit
The first half line isn’t out yet but hit it when it comes out (prob tomorrow morning). Golden State is really good early, especially at home, and big-time regression is coming for the Bulls, who are on a brutal road stretch right now. This is a great spot for the Warriors to go off and look fantastic after a tough loss to the Mavericks. The Bulls will want this game MUCH less than the Mavericks wanted their win the other night– this should feel easy for the home team. All Warriors for this guy.
