NBA Picks

The Raptors took three of the four regular season games both straight up and against the spread. In the trio of victories two were in Toronto where they won both by double digits. Today’s line of Tor -6.5 appears to hold a lot of value. Matt stops by to give his take on the game and give out his suggested ATS winner.

The Spurs are on their heels having lost two games to the Denver Nuggets including a rare loss in the Alamo City. Do the Spurs have enough homecourt advantage to cover the -3 against the spread tonight? We take a look at three predictions that suggest this series goes to game 7.

The Clippers gave the Warriors their best shot, but they’re heading into the lion’s den like a sheep to the slaughter. Houston likely polishes off the Jazz earlier in the evening and Golden State will want to follow suit, and do so in a big way. But is 13.5 too many points? Kyle Cash gives his GSW/LAC prediction.

Joel Embiid was unstoppable closing out game 4. Sure, the referees missed THE call in the final seconds then essentially admitted to both clubs and fans that the series should actually be tied. But Embiid was a beast and he can clearly take over a game anytime he wants. Every time Embiid pulls out one of those drop step moves, Sam Hinkie’s star shines a little bit brighter! Can Embiid get it going earlier to close out the Nets or will he rest his ailing knee? Matt has your NBA prediction!

Through four games, Westbrook is at a playoff career-low 36.3% from the field and averaging a ghastly (for him) 21.3 points per game. The Durant-less Thunder haven’t made it out of the first round, and Russ was even more efficient from the field the year that he shot 30 times per game. Can Russ bring the fire outside of the post game conference room? KC breaks down game 5 of the Blazers/Thunder!
