Well guys and gals, overall a winning day but what happened in LA was despicable. It took LeBron that kind of performance to make it happen – whatever. Can’t ruminate, moving on. I like today’s NBA lines- let’s attack.
NBA Picks:
- Nets +4.5, 2 units and ML sprinkle
- The Celtics have been phenomenal but the buck has to stop sometime, and this is the perfect spot. Durant and Kyrie will play, Drummond is back and healthy (which is an important piece in the front court), and the Nets need to start winning and winning often to put themselves in a better position before the postseason. Hard to bet against Boston but we’re doing it today.
- Suns/Bucks 1H over 112.5, 1 unit
- The Bucks run even faster at home and the Suns run fast without CP3 and Booker. The narrative is that the Suns will be chasing the Bucks all game without their stars – sounds like a sure over, at least in the first half. I’m afraid this could get ugly and scorers could settle down in the 2nd.
- Rockets +11, 1.5 units
- The Grizzlies had their blowout game yesterday – now they’re on the road against a Rockets team that’s been very feisty as of late. Houston is the right side; let’s hope they don’t blow it.
- Cavs -4.5, 1 unit
- Only 1 unit because the Raptors are starting to get a little desperate here, but they have NOT looked good without OG Anunoby. They’re playing their starters for too many minutes and the Cleveland bigs should give the Toronto front court a lot of problems. And I like what I saw from CLE in their last win. All Cavs for me here.
- ML Sprinkle on the Pelicans
- Hard to not play on New Orleans these days. A ML sprinkle, probably not a bad idea here.
CBB Picks:
- Michigan +4.5, 1 unit
- Nebraska +12.5, 1 unit
- Maryland +6, 1 unit
If you ever have any questions, message me here, on Twitter, or on Instagram. I will make myself available from 9am to 5pm every day, but please don’t expect an answer outside of those hours. I gotta shut it down sometimes. All picks are 1-5 stars based on unit size and confidence. 3 star picks are rare, 4-5 star picks are VERY rare. -Chris
