Why These Picks?
‍
NO Pelicans v POR Trail Blazers: The Trail Blazers are far better defensively than the Pelicans, and they’ve covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games. Arguably, their opponents weren’t exactly “elite”, but neither is this visiting New Orleans squad. With Portland having won 5 of their last 6 meetings with the Pelicans (all wins by at least 6.5…) and having managed to hold their last 5 straight opponents to less than 104 points, I’ve gotta take them to cover at home.
‍
MIN Timberwolves v DET Pistons: The defense on both sides in this game is just too good – I wouldn’t be surprised if it winds up being the lowest scoring game of the night. Only 1 of the last 4 meetings between these two has a made it past 225, and none of Minnesota’s last 5 outings have touched this total. Give me the Under to cash.
‍
UTA Mammoth v SEA Kraken: The Mammoth have cashed the Over in their last 4 straight outings; win or lose, the game total for these guys just can’t help but hit 7 lately. On the other side, Seattle has cleared the Over in 3 of their last 5 games. Lastly, the last 5 straight encounters between these two teams have seen at least 6 goals, and 4 of those encounters have seen at least 7. I’m on the Over to hit here, friends.
