I don’t even know how to explain yesterday. I was happy to get a win after one of my worst days gambling in a while, but Mike White getting injured killed me. After that first drive he had, I felt very good about both of my Jets picks. Then the injury happens and it all fell downhill. I almost got a backdoor cover, but that fell just short as well, but we are onto a new day. Let’s go.

Nets -9.5 @ Pistons
This game happened last Sunday and the Nets killed the Pistons by more than 20 in that game. I see the same results happening because the Pistons scoring is atrocious. They haven’t scored more than 100 in their last three games, two of which have been at home. 

Wizards -130 V. Grizzlies
The Grizzlies have had two strong wins against a very good Denver Nuggets in their last two games. They are a good win streak, and I see Washington ending that tonight. The Wizards, who are a shocking 5-3, need a win and I see them getting that at home as they are averaging a solid 116.5 points per game at home.

Knicks +145 @ Milwaukee 
Speaking of teams who need a win, the Knicks are on a two-game losing streak and need a win as soon as possible. They have not looked good in those games against the Raptors and Pacers because they were not able to guard the three. Now they are playing a team that is in the bottom half of the league in three-point average and will be without their best shooter, Khris Middleton. I like their odds as they will be able to outscore the Bucks with the three.

Clippers/Timberwolves Under 216
This point total is way too high. Both of these teams are averaging less than 106 points per game. There is no shot they are hitting this over, especially with Paul George complaining how the new ball is affecting people’s shooting. 

Hornets/Kings Under 231
I get that the Hornets are the best scoring team in the NBA, but 231 points are way too many points. Especially when they are playing the Kings, who are averaging less than 110 points per game. I like my chances that this over will not hit.
