Nice night across all sports– I’m not gonna say it… but I think you know what I want to say. Anyway, 4-0 so far. Onto some earlies for tomorrow:
NBA:
Heat -4.5 (-110), to win 1.5 units
The Thunder are actually pretty good– they facilitate the ball well, they rebound well, they have a true star in SGA, and they have sneaky good contributors at the rim. They’re also not a very good shooting team. They’re just not, and they’re the perfect team for the Heat to expose at home, especially after a loss at home against Brooklyn. With that still on their minds, I expect Miami to take it out on OKC. Jimmy, Tyler, and Bam should all play, even though that sneaky injury report is always annoyingly unpredictable.
CBB:
Wisconsin -1 (-110), to win 1.5 units
This is a much better spot for the Badgers, off a bad loss to a high-octane Illinois offense, coming back home to face a familiar and similar foe. Both of these squads are slow paced and they win with defense. This game should proceed nice and slow, which will be an advantage for Wisconsin. Michigan State just finished a gritty defensive game against Michigan. Two of those in a row- that’s rough. Wisconsin takes it.
