Why These Picks?
‍
DET Pistons v CHA Hornets: The Hornets are on an absolute tear, friends. Charlotte has won their last 9 straight games, and their win streak includes a few very impressive upsets. At this point, it simply doesn’t make any sense not to give them the benefit of the doubt on their own court. While the Pistons are a worthy opponent, at the very least, I say Charlotte keeps this encounter within a basket. I’m on the Hornets to cover.
‍
CHI Bulls v BKN Nets: The Bulls have seen totals Over 219 in their last 12 straight outings. And, as much as I don’t love the Nets offense, Chicago has allowed their opponents to bag at least 120 points in each of their last 4 outings. Falling North of 218.5 should be a cake walk here – I’m on the Over to cash.
‍
OKC Thunder v LA Lakers: Without Luka Doncic or Shai-Gilgeous Alexander on the floor tonight, I simply can’t bet on a high-scoring game here. The last meeting between the Lakers and the Thunder didn’t crack 223, and with both teams being sans their best players tonight, I don’t think it gets anywhere close. I’m on the Under to hit.
