One of those nights in the association. Can’t dwell on it- we move on with more picks in the NBA and a parlay in the UFC tonight: It’s kind of gross but we love a lot of favorites today. Hopefully the ball doesn’t bounce away from us in 101 different ways tonight.
Clippers -1.5 (-112), to win 1 unit
We’re taking this bet counting on Kawhi and PG returning for LAC, but just know that there’s a risk involved in doing that. These NBA injury reports are stupid as fuck, so it’s really hard to pull the trigger but if they both do play, this is tremendous value on the home team. The Clippers have been lock-down and big-time winners whenever Kawhi has been back in the lineup, and it looks like that might be the case tonight. Lord knows I love the Kings, but this is a bad spot for them if that’s the case. The Clippers can literally upend the way Sacramento likes to play basketball. Worth a 1 unit play.
Bucks 1H -3.5 (-106), to win 1.5 units
The Bucks were shocked by the Lakers’ charge early in last night’s game and found their rhythm later, but it was still too late to overcome AD and Lebron’s onslaught. The Hornets played over their head all night in a win against the Wizards Friday and then fizzled out late. They were lucky to win. Maybe the Bucks fizzle out later in this one, it’s a tough road spot. but with Middleton and their full crew back, they should dominate the Hornets in this contest. We’ll take ’em early in a spot where they’ll want to take out their anger on a much less talented and much softer Charlotte squad.
Raptors -10.5 (-110), to win 1 unit
It’s ugly but we have to take it. Both off a game last night, the Raptors are a different animal at home and they were EMBARRASSED by the Nets last night. Perfect smash spot for them to get-right. No overanalysis needed.
Rockets/Warriors over 232 (-110), to win 1.5 units
Warriors -9.5 (-110), to win 1 unit
Neither team will want to play defense tonight after playing last night, and neither squad has played good defense so far this season anyway. Two teams that like to run fast and the Warriors should be able to pile up points at will – only way we can bet this is high-scoring and Warriors.
