Merry Christmas Readers, hope you have a great Day and Holiday Season! Thankfully the NBA Blesses us with a full day of Hoops every Christmas. We have 5 matchups today and I’ll be Breaking down all 5 for ya.
1st we have Bucks and the Greek Freak visiting the Knicks in MSG. Bucks took care of Boston Friday night and then dropped their game Saturday versus Miami. Milwaukee is legit, ranking top 5 in Offense and Defensive efficiency. On the other hand the knicks are a mess, 1-9 in the last 10 and looking like its going to be a long 2nd half of the season. I think Bucks are motivated today and will look to start of the day with a Dominant performance although they haven’t covered as Road favorites often.
Picks: Bucks -10, under 223.5
Weve got a pretty interesting matchup next with OKC visiting Houston, Rockets will be without CP3 but theyve added Austin Rivers. I think that OKC has found their Groove, but Harden has been Ridiculous as of late. I really like Houston at Home and look for them to edge the Thunder today on National TV.
Picks: Rockets +1.5, over 222
After the Rockets and Thunder clear the Stage, we’ve got a Eastern Powerhouse matchup, these two teams always give us an entertaining matchup. The Celtics haven’t really looked like themselves whether its stats or Lineup. They won last time out and look as healthy as ever, they have had the Sixers number as of late but Jimmy Buckets will have something to say about it. I like the Celtics here theyre 9-5 at home while Philly is 5-10 ATS
Picks: Celtics -4.5 under 222
Now on to the Marquee matchup, LBJ bringing the Lake Show to the Bay to take on the defending Champion Warriors. Lakers come in up & down with a bit of inconsistency. Golden State has found they’re rhythm winning 8 of 10 and Cousins debut is around the corner. Lakers wont have Chandler or Mcgee and I think that’ll be a problem with Green being dominant in the paint at Times. We will never see another talent like Bron and Because of that he’ll keep it close but Warriors will pull away in the 4th
Picks: Warriors -9 over 233
And the Wrap it up we’ve got the Jazz and Blazers. I think most ppl will be asleep at this point as the Eggnog will be finished and the Holiday comes to a close. But as you sleep off the madness hopefully you’ll be backing the Blazers Lillard will make sure this one is close and it’ll come down to the last few possessions. I like going with the losing Team of a rematch that happened within the week. We cashed a few times with that already this year. Jazz are beyond inconsistent and even when they’re on I’m not sure that they’re that good, Jazz are 10-13 as favorites while Portland are 5-8 as Dogs, ATS.
Picks: Blazers +6.5 over 213.
I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday season Enjoy the NBA Slate!
