The Philadelphia 76ers are a fundamentally sound squad. They play with real discipline and purpose, making it highly probable they'll cover the spread against the Knicks tonight. That’s why I’m feeling very confident about taking the 76ers at +4.5.
In the matchup between Stoudemire and Rose, I find myself drawn to Stoudemire's side as well. He just dropped 41 on the Sixers recently. My hope is that Rose sees a bit less playing time this evening.
And I'll go ahead and back Portland, following the lead of my colleague Keith Moore21.😬
wanderingpanther28 said:Why is the line on the Spurs so skewed? I don't quite follow the logic here. Given their current momentum—Spurs sitting at 6-0 at home while the Rockets are struggling at 1-5 on the road—that 1.35 odds seems incredibly low to me.
They just lost another key player, T.J. Ford. That’s likely where the discrepancy lies.
I am hopeful that Griffin will manage to surpass Nowitzki's 18 points, especially considering how he absolutely crushed it with his shooting percentage 🤦.
The Grizzlies still haven't found their rhythm without Randolph leading the charge, and honestly, getting the Thunder at -1.70 feels like a massive value.
The Bulls have been on a tear lately, riding a four-game winning streak against Memphis; I wouldn't be surprised if we see the over hit tonight in the Memphis vs Love matchup.
Today I am providing an analysis for Chicago -13.5.
Detroit will be playing without Stuckey, Villanueva, and likely Day.
Even their top player, Gordon, is averaging only about 6 points when facing Chicago.
Chicago has had nearly two days of rest here. After that rough performance last time, they really need to bounce back immediately.
Chicago should feel confident about regrouping against the Pistons (2-6), a team currently scoring a league-low 84.3 points per game. Detroit has been averaging just 78.7 points over a three-game losing streak that kicked off with Wednesday's 99-83 loss to the Bulls. Chicago has dominated the Pistons lately, outscoring them by an average of 10.1 points throughout their 12-game stretch in this series.
I have a feeling the Washington Wizards will secure their first win today. Who else can they beat if not Minnesota? That team only seems to struggle when they face the absolute elite.
Since I don't have John Beasly, I'm thinking Kevin Love might just drop another 25+ point performance on us.
Well, at least the Joe Johnson under bet hit (assuming he stays out of the game, which I don't expect him to join).
The Bulls are a very specific kind of team. Today's loss really falls on the shoulders of the starting lineup. It’ll look much better once Derrick Rose returns.
It is impossible for me to back Miami without both Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, especially when they are facing Chicago on the third game in three nights.
