Why These Picks?
‍
TOR Raptors v MIL Bucks: Milwaukee has dropped their last two meetings against Toronto, and with Giannis sidelined, I’m not convinced they’ll fare any better this time around. The Raptors have won 3 of their last 4 games — and yes, the competition hasn’t been elite, but neither is this version of the Bucks. I’m backing Toronto to cover on the road.
‍
CHA Hornets v WAS Wizards: The last 3 straight meetings between these two squads cashed the Over, and I imagine they’ll do so again here. The Wizards are far more capable of putting points on the board when they’re at home, and while I don’t expect them to win, I do think they’ll keep things close enough to drive up a total (if they were on the road, I’d undoubtedly think differently…). Take the Over to cash.
‍
NY Knicks v CHI Bulls: Both Chicago and New York are playing on the tail end of a back-to-back here, but the Bulls have lost their last 8 straight games, and have allowed at least 120 points in 6 of those 8. To boot, the Knicks have bagged at least 125 points in their last 2 encounters with Chicago. With the home team’s defense being as lacklustre as it is, I won’t be surprised if the Knicks put 125+ in the bag for a third time in a row. I’m on NY to put at least 121 on the board tonight.
