Why These Picks?
‍
MTL Canadiens v BOS Bruins: The Bruins have cashed the Over in their last 3 straight outings, while the Canadiens have cashed it in 3 or their last 4. Both offenses have been wildly effective lately – with Montreal having put 12 goals in the bag over their last 3 and Boston putting 11 goals on the board in their last 3, the Over should cash with ease here. My money’s on a higher scoring affair today, friends.
‍
GS Warriors v MIN Timberwolves: I haven’t loved the Warriors on the road for a few seasons now, and to be frank, if tonight’s visitors were healthy I’d think this would be a close game. That said, the Warriors clearly struggle without Jimmy Butler on the court – each of their last 2 games without him resulted in a loss by at least 8 points. This is a nice spot for Minnesota to pick up a win at home. My money’s on the Timberwolves to cover.
‍
LA Lakers v DAL Mavericks: The inconsistency of the Lakers has paid out handsomely for those who continue to fade them. Los Angeles has lost 3 of their last 4 games on the road, and the Mavericks have won their last 4 straight. I wouldn’t be surprised by an upset here, but at the very least, I think Dallas covers at home. I’m on the Mavericks to keep it close.
