TGIF as well head into a great weekend of sports. Quick recap of Wednesdays free pick, I gave out Mavs +1.5 the line closed at Mavs -1.5. The suns jumped out early and never looked back. Booker had 35 points in 33 minutes and made 6 three pointers in a “limited” role (lol). Mavs just didn’t have the fire power as Smith and Doncic combined for 1 made three. Suns shot 19-34 from beyond the arc as Booker picked up right where he left off, 21-point loss is tough after we started off so great but let’s get it back today. Which leads me to, the Pacers/Bucks match-up. Both teams opened their seasons with victories. Pacers dominated Memphis at home 111-83, they spread the ball well as 7 players scored in double digits while Myles Turner added 8 points and 8 rebounds. The Bucks opener went a little different as the opened up a 13 point 1st quarter lead that they carried to halftime. Hornets went to a smaller lineup and actually took the lead in the final minute but Milwaukee prevailed 113-112. I was there Wednesday and Giannis looked good dropping 25 but failed to connect from 3, Khris Middleton Shot 50% and scored 19, the Bucks as a team shot near 50% from inside the arc and 75% from the free throw line which is middle of the row as far as league average goes but Indiana is off to a league worse 58.3% from the Line. I’m anticipating a back and forth contest between these two divisional foes. The Bucks still show a weakness at guarding the perimeter and Pacers seem to have the ball moving on offense; I think the Pacers have gotten a lot better over the off-season and specifically within the division. If the can hit the freebies they will have a good chance of winning and no problem covering, take the points in this one.
Free Pick of the Day: Indiana Pacers +3.5
