Why These Picks?
ā€

ATLĀ Hawks v DALĀ Mavericks: Having won their last 10 straight games, it’s tough to make an argument against the Hawks in this spot. The Mavericks are, for lack of a better term, flailing. Dallas has lost 8 of their last 10 outings, and 7 of those losses were by at least 9. I’m on Atlanta to win and cover on the road.

ā€

TORĀ Raptors v CHIĀ Bulls: Toronto has won both of their encounters with the Bulls this year by at least 9 points, and they’re coming off of a couple solid wins – including pulling off an upset over the Detroit Pistons. On the other side, Chicago has lost 6 of their last 8 games at home and 15 of their last 20 outings. In short, I’m not in a rush to put money behind the Bulls, friends – take the Raptors to cover this evening.

ā€

DALĀ Stars v COLĀ Avalanche: This matchup is almost always a competitive one, but also a high-scoring one – 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams have easily fallen North of 6. In addition, Colorado’s goaltenders took a beating from the Pittsburgh Penguins just a couple of days ago. I have a feeling Dallas’ offense will produce similar results, but also that the Avalanche will be eager to put some goals on the board after dropping 3 of their last 4. Take the Over to cash.

ā€

🐶 Dog of the Day:Ā A bold take, for sure – and we all know how much I love the Avalanche. That said, their Power Play is looking rough, and their goaltenders looked rough a couple of days ago against a far lesser team. Colorado has dropped 3 of their last 4 games, and I think the Stars might be able to capitalize here having won 8 of their last 10. My money’s on Dallas to pull off the upset.
