Why These Picks?
‍
SA Spurs v CHI Bulls: While the Chicago Bulls are coming off of two tough road losses, they’ve won every game they’ve played at home this season. Make no mistake, the Spurs have been red hot having won 7 of their last 9 games, but both of their losses have been on the road and to teams with less formidable records than the Bulls. Chicago has been far too consistent on their own turf not to think that at the very least, they’ll cover the spread; I wouldn’t be surprised by an upset. My money’s on the Bulls to cover today, friends.
‍
CLE Cavaliers v MIA Heat: I know 247.0 is a big number, but it’s undoubtedly set there for a reason. The Cavaliers have put at least 128 points in the bag in each of their last 3 outings, while Miami has put at least 120 on the board in 3 of their last 4. I can’t see this total landing anywhere south of 250, especially given how much Cleveland seems to love scoring in the 4th quarter (even if the encounter isn’t a close one…) I’m on the Over to cash.
‍
NAS Predators v NY Rangers: To be frank, I just don’t think the Rangers score enough goals per game for this encounter to cash the Over. In addition, Shesterkin is a solid goaltender, and I don’t think Nashville will get more than two past him. Couple that with the fact that New York is barely bagging 2 goals per game? My money’s on the Under here.
