The Wizards and the Lakers last met in December in D.C. where Washington staged an upset as a 3.5-point underdog defeating Los Angeles 128-110. What does that mean in terms of handicapping this game? Absolutely nothing. These are two lottery teams no longer under the illusion that they will have the chance to lose to the Warriors in the playoffs. Keith Franks gives his pick and takes a fresh look.

The Rockets are a rare underdog at +4 at most online sportsbooks. Milwaukee may be uniquely qualified to stop this tea.. Lopez is likely to be attacked on all switches but the Bucks have the ability to play Giannis at center with four wings and try to offset Houston’s isolation plays. Kyle Cash breaks down this matchup and predicts if the Rockets have enough to stay within 4!

Brooklyn has been successful this season because they’ve been able to create multiple scoring threats each night. Take their last game for example against the Los Angles Lakers. Four of the five starters scored 13 points or more and two of their bench players scored in double-digits as well. It’s the team game that make Brooklyn go. Can that team game help the Nets cover +6 vs the Blazers in Portland?

People like to pick apart the Sixers’ “chemistry issues” on all of the talking head shows, but from what I’ve seen in person, most of that is overblown. Up until the snafu at Atlanta on Saturday night, the Sixers were 7-1 with their new starting five on the court together, and aside from a bit of uncertainty surrounding Ben Simmons’ best possible role, the offense is humming along like a drum. Can the Sixers make it 8-1 and beat the bookie by winning by 3? Kyle Cash gives his NBA prediction.
