Why These Picks?

‍

Kentucky v Iowa State: Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I think Kentucky will have a hard time keeping up with the Cyclones this afternoon – even if they do manage to continue putting a solid number of points on the board. Iowa State had 0 issue in their March Madness opener, and their elite defense should give them the edge they need to win by a healthy enough margin. I’m on the Cyclones to move on to the Sweet 16 and cover the spread.

‍

POR Trail Blazers v DEN Nuggets: This is one of my all-time favourite high-scoring matchups. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t smile every time I see it on the schedule. These two squads have cashed the over with ease in 4 of their last 5 meetings – I’ll bet on them to do so again today. Take the Over to hit.

‍

CAR Hurricanes v PIT Penguins: I’m whole-heartedly on a high-scoring affair here. The Penguins have cashed the Over in their last 8 straight outings, and the Canes have had no issue scoring over their past couple games. Comically, these two teams played each other just a few days ago and the total saw 11. I’m on the Over to hit.
