Why TheseĀ Picks?

ā€

TORĀ Raptors v ATLĀ Hawks: 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two squads have cashed the Over – and they should do so again with ease this evening. Not only have the Raptors struggled immensely on defense, but both of these offenses love to play at a breakneck pace. Toronto & Atlanta have each put at least 117 points on the board in 3 of their last 4 outings, and I imagine this encounter will be a close one. My money’s on this matchup to go Over 236.

CHA Hornets v MIA Heat: Miami squashed the Hornets at home just last week – and despite being without Bam Adebayo, I say they do it again here. The Heat have won 8 of their last 9 meetings with Charlotte, and the spread will only get wider if LaMelo Ball is ruled out. Give me Miami to pull off another landslide victory.

GS Warriors v DEN Nuggets: It would typically be tough to make a case for a double-digit spread that isn’t in favour of the Warriors. That said, I don’t love Golden State when they’re not at home to begin with, and tonight they’re without Steph Curry in Denver. At the time of writing, Jimmy Butler is also listed as ā€˜Questionable’, but even if he decides to suit up, I don’t think it’s enough to take down the Nuggets on their own turf. Nikola Jokic has bagged 5 (FIVE!) triple-doubles already this season – I think the Warriors need Steph Curry just to keep this game within 10. Tonight, they’ll simply be outgunned. I’m on Denver to cover at home.
