Why These Picks?
‍
MIN Timberwolves v NY Knicks: The Knicks are a solid 4-0 at home against the spread, friends – it’s hard to contend with a stat like that. Comically, New York has lost all of their away games, but every single one of their home wins has been by at least 8 points and over some formidable teams. On the other side, the Timberwolves have fared well in their last two road outings, but against teams that pale in comparison to both the offense and defense of the New York Knicks. In addition, it looks like Minnesota is still without Anthony Edwards this evening. My money’s on the home team to cover the spread.
‍
HOU Rockets v MEM Grizzlies: Whether they’re playing on the road or at home, the Grizzlies have left way too much to be desired for me to want to put money on them. Meanwhile, Houston has won their last 4 straight games by at least 8 points. I’ll be surprised if they don’t claim victory by double digits here. I’m on the Rockets to cover.
‍
SJ Sharks v SEA Kraken: Seattle has every advantage in this matchup – the better defense, offense, the home advantage, and the better goaltender (assuming Grubauer gets the start opposite Askarov). Hungry as the Sharks have been lately, both of their road wins have required OT and a sizeable total – a luxury I don’t think they’ll get against Seattle. My money’s on the Kraken to win this game in regulation.
