Why These Picks?
POR Trail Blazers v NY Knicks: A bit of an unconventional pick, I know – but it seems the Knicks have remembered how to play basketball, and their defense has been solid. New York has held each of their last 4 opponents to 109 points or less, and Portland hasn’t bagged more than 98 points in 2 of their last 3 games. My money’s on the Knicks defense to hold it down here at home. Take Portland to stay Under 109.5.
BKN Nets v UTA Jazz: I’m not exactly in a rush to back the Jazz, but the Nets have been abysmal. To boot, Utah has won its last 3 meetings with Brooklyn; both defenses are trash, but their offense is substantially better in my opinion. And tonight, they have the home advantage. I know we’re picking the best of the worst, but I’m throwing a sprinkle on the Jazz to cover as well as on the Over to hit.
LA Lakers v WAS Wizards: Let me preface this pick by saying, “I hate it too – but…” Shockingly, the Wizards have won their last two home games. However tonight, they play on the tail end of a back to back, and the Lakers absolutely stomped them in their last meeting (which also took place in Washington). If LeBron James and Luka Doncic can’t pull off a double-digit win over the Wizards, I’m writing off the Lakers for the rest of the season. One thing to note: Doncic and Reaves are Questionable here, so give the IR a look before game time. I highly suspect at least one of them will play (if not both), so give me the visitors to cover.
