Why This Pick?
‍
ATL Hawks v PHI 76ers: I’m rolling with the underdog here. The Hawks have beat the 76ers in their last 7 straight meetings, and to be frank, it’s tough to see Philly staying in this matchup without Joel Embiid on the floor tonight. Given the head-to-head record, I’ve gotta give the visitors the benefit of the doubt. My money’s on the Hawks to cover.
‍
PHX Suns v SA Spurs: 5 of the last 6 meetings between these two squads have seen final totals of 229 or less. With both teams not having played for the last week, Dillon Brooks ruled out (suspended) for the night, and both of their abilities to play great defense, I think a high-scoring affair is a tall order. My money’s on the Under to cash here.
‍
ORL Magic v SAC Kings: Sacramento has lost their last 14 straight games, and are just 4-10 ATS in those outings, friends – that statistic alone should be enough to bet the opposite way. In addition, the Kings are both abysmal on defense and without two of their best scorers this evening (Sabonis & LaVine have both been ruled out…) Just before the break, Sacramento found a way to lose by nearly 30 to the Utah Jazz. On the other side, Orlando has won 3 of their last 4 games and 5 of their last 8; despite being on the road here, I’m more than confident that they bag a double digit win this evening. Take the Magic to cover, and Sacramento to put 108 points or less on the board.
