Slam Dunk
The NBA Games will come thick and fast so check back daily for our predictions.
Were well into the season now and with lots of competitive balls thrown now we will go for value until with some solid stats to go by, BOL
Were at the tail end of the season now and the play-ins pend, we will post match picks on day of games.
Our Picks:
Heat vs Bulls – Over 207.5 @10/11
Nothing in this game would surprise us. The Bulls are probably in a better position to win, and this is a revenge spot after blowing this exact opportunity last year. The Heat are down Butler and Rozier, and Robinson doesn’t seem healthy either after not playing Wednesday despite being cleared. However, the Bulls could be without Alex Caruso. It’s fair to question if the Heat have enough given their injury situation and the mental state of the team overall given the collapse in Philadelphia. The Bulls have won 5 of the last 8 games against the Heat and have a clear size edge with Nikola Vucevic and Andre Drummond. We think the Bulls will win but taking the over seems safe.
Pelicans vs Kings ML @20/21
The Kings are still a little shorthanded with Malik Monk and Kevin Huerter both out, while the Pelicans are going to be without Zion Williamson, who suffered a hamstring strain in Tuesday’s loss. The Pelicans would’ve been favorites at home if Williamson was healthy, but now they are going to have to adjust on the fly in a must-win game. The Pelicans swept the Kings 5-0 in the regular season series, but the Kings have the momentum and we think they can come away with the narrow win and cover to move on.
Cavaliers vs Magic ML @33/20
The Cleveland Cavaliers are the sexier team with the star player and with home court they’re going to be the favorite in the public eye. Not a lot of people watched the Magic this year. However, the Magic are a good team that gets after it defensively and can force opponents to play at their pace. The Magic have won 2 of the last 3 games against the Cavs, including a 7 point win as 5.5 point dogs back in February. Also, the Magic had a 62.2 percent cover percentage in the NBA this regular season, making Orlando the most profitable team in the league. That feels like enough for us.
Suns +2.0 @10/11 vs Timberwolves
The Timberwolves are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, where they’re 30-11 SU on the season. The Suns have also been hit or miss all year and right when you’re ready to believe in them, they let you down. With all that said, the Suns have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Timberwolves, which includes a 19 point win earlier this week. The Suns have covered 9 of those games as well. The Suns are 3-0 SU and 3-0 ATS against the Timberwolves this season alone. The Suns clearly have the Timberwolves number, and there’s going to be value with the free points until that changes. Give me the Suns and the free bucket.
