Why These Picks?
‍
PHI 76ers v CLE Cavaliers: This total is too high, friends. Philly’s games have seen final totals of less than 230 in 5 of their last 6 outings. The 76ers are formidable defenders, and the Cavaliers seem to struggle to hold a lead. Cleveland’s first meeting with Philadelphia saw a final total of 220 and the Cavs lost by 8, and despite the fact that that was a road game for the Cavaliers, I think tonight’s result will be remarkably similar. My money’s on the Under to cash. As for a winner, the Sixers have yet to give me a reason to think they won’t win by at least 2 baskets; I’ll toss a sprinkle on Philly to cover.
‍
POR Trail Blazers v LA Lakers: Both of these offenses are forces to be reckoned with, and their last meeting just over a week ago found itself at 265 points. To boot, Portland is presently undefeated on the road. I’m on the Over to cash, and I’ll take the Trail Blazers to cover.
‍
CLB Blue Jackets v BUF Sabres: Both of tonight’s goaltenders are allowing an average of more than 3 goals per game at the moment, and Luukkonen’s last start against Columbus saw him allow a staggering 6 goals. It’s a bit of a coin toss, but I’d certainly say the Over is the lean. I’ve got some change on the Over to hit tonight for plus money.
