Why These Picks?
BUF Sabres v PHI Flyers: Neither of tonight’s goaltenders (confirmed or otherwise…) are phenomenal, but I really like Philly in this spot. Having won 5 of their last 7 games, this underdog pick comes down to two things: the Flyers play much better defense than the Sabres, and they’ve pulled off some very respectable upsets at home (including wins over the Winnipeg Jets & the Carolina Hurricanes). I think this game will see plenty of goals – the last 8 straight meetings between these two have seen at least 6, but I’m also sprinkling Philly to come out of this one with a win.
POR Trail Blazers v CLE Cavaliers: With the Trail Blazers on the road and on a back-to-back, I think this encounter has a real good chance of being a low-scoring one. In addition, the Cavaliers’ last 6 straight home games have fallen well below 239 – and if you’ve watched a Cleveland home game lately, you know that they’ve been taking their sweet time “getting in the game” so to speak on their own court. My money’s on the Under tonight.
CHA Hornets v NY Knicks: 8-1 ATS over their last 9 games at home, and 10-1 Straight Up on their own court is a tough stat to bet against, friends. I know the Knicks are on a back-to-back here, but the Hornets are in abysmal shape. Charlotte has won 6 games all season, their injury list is getting lengthy, and New York smoked them just last week by 28 points. In short: I think it would take an NBA Holiday miracle for the Hornets to keep this one close. I’m on New York to cover in spades.
