Heat -4 v. Pacers | | 109-100 |
Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
At full strength these two teams are almost mirror images of each other. But they aren't at full strength. Victor Oladipo wasn't 100 percent before he was poked in the eye in game 1 and had to be taken to the hospital. Even if he plays he probably will not make a huge difference. TJ Warren may be a bubble star but the Heat are clearly in his head. Andre Iguodala was a big reason Warren couldn't get going in game 1 and he will be asked to concentrate on defending him again coming off the bench with fresh legs. The Heat are just too tough for Indiana right now. Only laying 4 points is a gift. I'm Betting The Heat. The Pick: Take The Heat |

Magic v. Bucks -12 | | 122-110 |
Loss | -110 | 13 h 32 m | Show |
The Bucks have not played well in the restart. They finished with a 3-5 record and only cashed in 2 games. Their usually dominant defense was a shell of itself but I give them a break because no one played good D in the restart. That being said this feels like the first game that Bucks will all be on the court and focused. Like the Lakers their seed was already locked up and it was hard for either team to really find motivation. They will have plenty of motivation here and will want to make a statement in game 1 against an Orlando team that has a lot of players out and was overmatched in games against good teams in the bubble. The Bucks beat the Magic in all 4 games this season, covering in 3. I'm betting they'll cover the 12 here as well. The Pick: Take The Bucks |
08-17-20 |
Nets +9.5 v. Raptors | | 110-134 |
Loss | -103 | 17 h 12 m | Show |
The Raptors are prohibitive favorites in this first round matchup against the Nets as they should be. No one in their right minds believes the Nets can pull the upset but they've been doubted the whole time in the bubble and they won 5 games, cashing in 6 of them. They have been one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the restart which will make it hard to blow them out. Toronto won 7 of 8 games in the restart and cashed in 6 of 8. My problem is they won only one game by more than 10 points. This number is too high for me so I'm betting the dog. The Pick: Take The Nets |

Heat -3 v. Thunder | | 115-116 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 0 m | Show |
In a game between two teams with equal talent at full strength, I give the Heat the edge in this one because the Thunder front court is not as healthy. Steven Adams is most likely out and Nerlens Noel may play but won't be 100 percent. The Heat will play hard in this one as they are expected to rest their starters for their final game. I'm betting Miami. The Pick: Take The Heat |

Celtics -3 v. Heat | | 106-112 |
Loss | -106 | 3 h 2 m | Show |
This is a very big game for both teams as the Celtic are currently seeded 3 and the Heat are 4. That's big because the 3 seed will avoid the Bucks until the Eastern Conference finals. The Heat are playing the second night of a back to back and with a win the Celts know they pretty much lock up the 3 seed. I look for Boston to go all out and get the win and cover. The Pick: Take The Celtics |

Rockets v. Mavs -1 | | 153-149 |
Loss | -103 | 2 h 7 m | Show |
These two teams know that no matter what happens in the next 8 games they will be in the playoffs. That doesn't mean there isn't something to play for. With the Rockets currently seeded 6th and the Mavs 7th neither team wants to finish 7th, setting up a likely first round matchup with the Clippers. The Rockets are already behind the 8 ball after losing Eric Gordon to an ankle injury. Already one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA the loss of Gordon isn't going to help, especially facing the Mavs who are first in the league in offensive efficiency. Look for a high scoring matchup and the full strength Mavs to pull it out in the end. The Pick: Take The Mavs |
07-31-20 |
Celtics +5 v. Bucks | | 112-119 |
Loss | -112 | 5 h 44 m | Show |
The Milwaukee Bucks are still the prohibitive favorites to win the East. The Bucks have the #1 seed all but locked up and will be using these last 8 games of the regular season as a tuneup. Eric Bledsoe and Pat Connaughton will be out of Friday's game and the Pelicans showed in the last exhibition that the Bucks aren't the same team when not full strength as they blew them out by 20. One team in the East that many experts think could upset the Bucks in the playoffs are the Boston Celtics. The Celtics led by Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum and Gordon Hayward are deep, athletic can play inside, shoot the 3 and play great defense. Any team in the bubble are going to have trouble with them. With the Bucks not at full strength and the Celtics wanting to send a message, I'm taking the points. The Pick: Take Boston Late Games May Be Added |

Yankees -1.5 v. Orioles | | 8-6 |
Win | 100 | 17 h 34 m | Show |
The Yankees were up to their old tricks on Wednesday night and that trick is bashing the Orioles brains in. The Yankees 9-3 win over the Orioles was the bombers 16th straight win over Baltimore and the 14th time in those 16 games that the teams combined for 10 or more runs. In 2019 John Means faced the Yankees 5 times and took the loss in the last 4. In all 5 games the teams combined for 10 or more runs. Look for more of the same Thursday night. The Pick: Take The Yankees On The Run Line

Jazz v. Pelicans -2.5 | | 106-104 |
Loss | -105 | 16 h 19 m | Show |
A lot of people wonder why the NBA didn't just cancel the rest of the regular season and restart with the playoffs like the NHL. The answer is simple, The Pelicans are really good and the NBA wants them here. They are young, athletic, exciting and hungry. Ever since Zion stepped on the floor this is a team to be feared and the NBA wants to give them every opportunity to get that 8 seed and set up a first round matchup with the Lakers. First things first. They have to play well over these last 8 games to get into the 8 vs 9 playing tournament. The Utah Jazz are still a very good team with the inside outside combination of Mitchell and Gobert, but Utah is going to miss 2nd leading scorer Bojon Bogdanovic. The Pelicans led by Zion, Ingram, Ball, Holiday and Redick have been locked in since entering the bubble winning their 3 exhibition games easily. Look for them to continue playing well Thursday night to get the win and the cover. I'm Betting The Pelicans. The Pick: Take New Orleans |
07-27-20 |
Mariners v. Astros -1.5 | | 5-8 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 43 m | Show |
This game has all the makings of a blowout. The Mariners are a young team who is really just using this season to see who they'll keep in 2021 while the Astros are World Series contenders despite losing Verlander. The Astros will send Josh James to the mound for only his 5th career start but I love his stuff and he has a chance with a good performance in this one to cement a place in the rotation. While Seattle sends KeNeal Graveman who hasn't started since 2018 when he was awful and will struggle against the Astros still formidable lineup. The Pick: Take The Astros on the run line. |
07-24-20 |
Tigers v. Reds -1.5 | | 1-7 |

The Cincinnati Reds are going to be much improved this season and should make the playoffs easily with the expanded format. The additions of Nick Castellanos and Mike Moustakas shores up the lineup while opening day starter Sonny Gray a great addition at the top of the order. Detroit will struggle all season as they rebuild, starting on opening day. The Pick: Take The Reds on the run Line. |

Duke is coming off two straight losses on the road and they return home to play a North Carolina State team that just blew them out by 22 points, 2 weeks ago. But that game was on the road where Duke has struggled this year. They are a much better team at home and they desperately need this game for any chance to win the ACC. I expect them to get the win but 12 is just too many points for a talented Wolfpack team that is on the bubble. I expect North Carolina State to not back down and attack Duke for 40 minutes. They'll keep it close and get the cover. The Pick: Take NC State. |
