Why These Picks?
‍
TOR Maple Leafs v TB Lightning: Anthony Stolarz is the probable goalie for Toronto this evening, and I don’t remember the last time this man was in net for a low-scoring affair. Stolarz’s last 3 straight starts saw totals of at least 7 goals, and I don’t doubt the capability of either offense. Tampa Bay has cashed the Over in their last 3 straight games, and I don’t doubt the Lighting will get to Stolarz early. My money’s on the Over to hit here, friends.
‍
OKC Thunder v DET Pistons: The Thunder are without a number of key players, they’re on the road, and they’re coming into this encounter on a back-to-back. Under regular circumstances I wouldn’t dare take a near double-digit spread against Oklahoma City. To boot, the Pistons have been formidable for the majority of their last 20 games; it simply makes no sense to bet against them here. Given the Thunder’s current predicament, the only play here in my opinion is Detroit to cover at home.
‍
SAC Kings v HOU Rockets: Let’s just call a spade a spade, here… Sacramento has been abysmal and Houston plays phenomenal defense. While I don’t love double-digit spreads, I think the Rockets will make it incredibly tough for the Kings to crack 100 points this evening. My money’s on Sacramento to put less than 104 on the board.
