Why These Picks?

‍

POR Trail Blazers v HOU Rockets: The Rockets have been wildly efficient so far this season. Having won 7 of their last 8 (and all by at least 7 points…), it’s tough for me to make a case against Houston in this spot. Portland has only had one loss by more than 7 points so far this season, but with the home advantage and a relatively healthy roster, I think covering -7.5 is very reasonable against a Trail Blazers squad that’s missing some key components. To boot, Portland has lost 6 of their last 7 meetings with Houston by a sizeable chunk of points. I’m on the Rockets to cover tonight, friends.

‍

BKN Nets v ORL Magic: Both of these teams are missing too much fire power for me to think this total even touches 200, let alone 223.0! Paolo Banchero is undoubtedly any/all of the reason I’d think the Magic can cover a spread of -13.5, and he’s been ruled out for this evening. On the other side, the Nets are without Cam Thomas. Hell, even with a healthy squad, the Nets haven’t cracked more than 112 points in their last 5 straight outings.  I’m on the Under to cash in spades here.

‍

MIA Heat v NY Knicks: With the Knicks having bagged at least 130 points in 3 of their last 4 outings, and Miami cashing the Over in their last 4 straight games, I imagine this encounter sees at least 240. I know Jalen Brunson is out, but there’s plenty of fire power available to score in his place. In addition, gone are the days of the Heat’s slow-paced tendencies (remember when?!) That said, with Bam Adebayo still out, I do think the Knicks step up and cover at home. I’m on both the Over to cash as well as on the home squad to win by at least 6.
