New series: NBA Turn Up
Thanks to those that take the time to read. Please, follow along on our socials and good luck to us!
6:00pm cst: Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics (-10.5)
In game 1 the Hawks had a terrible 1st half making only 1 3PT while the Celtics were red hot. Atlanta bounced back in the 2H but that was more so a lackluster half from Boston after being up over 30 points. I think the 10 points is a number to attract Hawks money. There is no telling if the good Hawks from the Heat game are showing up or the Hawks from that 1H, which is why I am not a fan of this series. Point props for the Celtics are a bit too steep for me. Would prefer Jaylon Brown around 25 points and Tatum’s around 28 or 29.
Pick: Trae Young Points Over 24.5 (-110)
Dejounte Murray Points, Rebounds & Assists Over 29.5 (-110)
6:30pm cst: New York Knicks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5)
The Knicks pulled off a great road win against the Cavs in game 1. New York has had the Cavs’ number all season. This number has not moved from game 1. I still think taking the points with the Knicks is the way to go because of how well they play the Cavs. It’s a good matchup for New York and if they can continue winning the rebound battle they will continue to have success. It is probably wise to pass on the Knicks until game 3 but
Pick: Darius Garland Points Over 20.5 (-130)
Evan Mobley Points Over 14.5 (-130)
9:00pm cst: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Phoenix Suns (-8)
Again, I feel like this is too many points for the Suns to lay against a solid Clippers team with Kawhi Leonard. Will the Suns get 20 points again from Torrey Craig and Deandre Ayton? Not likely from both. Will Kawhi score 38 points again? Probably not but I don’t see him know showing. The Clippers have very capable role players to assist keeping this game close to try and upset the Suns. This is a rivalry game and one the Clippers won’t take lightly looking to go back to LA.
Pick: Clippers +8
Ivicia Zubac Points Over 11.5 (-105)
Kawhi Leonard Points, Rebounds & Assists Over 40.5 (-130)
***The other games will be posted once more lineup information is available.
