NBA 75 DIME GAME MAVS +7.5 Dallas won Sunday’s contest at home, where they are now 15-3 on the season The Mavericks have actually dominated this series as of late, covering the spread in each of the last four meetings and 22 of the last 33 meetings in Oklahoma City. With the way Westbrook is shooting the ball right now, you have to like your chances of the Mavericks covering the number on the road in this spot. Take Dallas to cover despite their ugly 2-15 record on the road this year. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME NUGGETS +4.5 Denver was pasted by the Clippers in their last game on Saturday as they had their four-game win streak halted. The Nuggets now try to get back in the win column and maintain their lead in the Northwest Division, which stood at one game coming into this contest. Denver trailed by eight after the opening quarter and by nine at the half: they got no closer than seven the rest of the way. The Nuggets were held to 42.3 percent shooting while the Clippers hit 57.6 percent from the floor. Denver was nine of 31 from three point range and was beaten 56-37 on the glass in the loss.

NBA 100 DIME GAME MAVS -5.5 The Kings have actually dominated this series as of late, covering the spread in five of the last six meetings in Dallas and eight of the last 11 matchups between these two teams overall. They are fresh off of a disappointing loss against the Warriors, while the Mavericks failed to show up on the road against the Suns in their last game. Of the two losses, the Kings’ defeat was much more devastating, which has me leaning towards Dallas covering the spread in this matchup at home on Sunday. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME WIZARDS +2.5 Washington lost their fourth straight game as they were unable to contain the Nets on the road. Rather than deal with the status quo, the Wizards dealt Kelly Oubre Jr. and Austin Rivers to the Suns in exchange for Trevor Ariza in an effort to help their leaky defense. Friday night, Washington led by four after the opening quarter before getting outscored 43-28 in the second quarter. The Wizards were down 16 after three quarters and could get no closer than four in the final stanza. Washington shot 54.4 percent from the field, including 11 of 29 from three point range, in the loss. The Wizards were just nine of 16 from the charity stripe and were pounded 46-25 on the glass. Bradley Beal led the team with 31 points and nine assists in the loss. Washington is 7-6 ATS at home this season and the over is 9-4 in those games. |

Rockets are better offensively, scoring 109 ppg to Grizzlies’ third-worse of 102.7, while Grizzlies are better defensively, allowing a second-best of 102 ppg to Rockets’ 109.6. Grizzlies have better percentages both in field goals (45.3% to 45%) and in 3-pointers (35.3% to 34%). They are also better both in dimes made (23.2 to 21.2) and in turnovers committed (12.7 to 13.9), while Rockets are only in boards grabbed (41 to 39.7). Grizzlies might be struggling lately but they have been strong at home. |

12-15-18 | Jazz v. Magic +6 | Top | 89-96 | Win | 100 | 3 h 0 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME MAGIC +6 In the landscape of NBA efficiency, the Utah Jazz are on the wrong side of the league average. Over the past few seasons the Jazz relied on their defence to win them tough, grind it out games against the leagues best. This year that defence has slipped and they’re still trying to figure out how to bring it back. While the rule changes to physicality have definitely affected the Jazz more than any other squad, they’ve not been effective on the offensive end either. Back to back losses to the Spurs and Thunder show the team has a lot of work to do to compete in the West again. Teams have gotten better, but the Jazz may be a move away from getting back into form. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME CAVS +10.5 Cleveland has plenty of young guys to try and build around for the future. The problem for the Cavaliers is that the present is rather bleak for the team without much in the way of proven commodities. Milwaukee handled Cleveland with relative ease earlier this week and they’re still dealing with working the pieces from the trade last week into the mix. The Cavaliers will battle but the Bucks have the depth and veteran experience, but its tough to win big on the road. I like the Cavs and the under here. |

DeMar DeRozan puts up a team leading 24.7 points and six assists per game in his first season in San Antonio. The Spurs are a money team and should win at home. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME SPURS +8.5 San Antonio bounced back from back to back blowout losses as they took care of business against the Trail Blazers. The Spurs now head on the road and hope to make it back to back wins as they visit an old division rival. San Antonio trailed by one after the opening quarter, went up seven at the half and closed the third quarter on a 13-5 run to regain control of the contest. The Spurs shot a scorching 60.2 percent from the field and drilled 11 of 15 three-point attempts in the game. San Antonio forced 17 turnovers to help offset 52.3 percent shooting by Portland. DeMar DeRozan led the Spurs with 36 points, eight rebounds and six assists in the win. San Antonio has gone 5-7 ATS on the road this season while the over is 7-4-1 in those games. I like the Spurs to pull the upset |

NBA 100 DIME GAME KINGS -5.5 The Suns are struggling offensively this season and with the way things are lining up right now, this is an uphill climb. Booker and Warren are both questionable for this contest, which would seriously impact the Suns’ ability to put points on the board. As it stands, Phoenix hasn’t broken the triple-digit mark in their last three games. Sacramento’s defense has been terrible this season but you have to like their chances against a Phoenix offense that is dismal. Look for the Kings to get the victory here. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME NUGGETS -3.5 Denver has been playing extremely tough defense and they have the length, not to mention depth, to make life difficult for opposing teams. The Nuggets also have the one thing that most teams lack and that’s a center who can effectively dish the ball. Jokic is the wild card as he can shoot the three, put the ball on the floor, set up a teammate, crash the glass and knock down buckets. He’s Kevin Durant if Durant was a center basically. The Lakers have LeBron but their surrounding pieces are still finding their way. Playing in the Mile High City is tough for opposing teams and it’s similar here: the Nuggets get the nod here. |

The team hopes to get Bogdan Bogdanovic back in early November after knee surgery. Sacramento is 3rd in the league in field goal percentage as they shoot 50 percent from the floor. The Kings stand tied for 24th in the league with 10 three pointers per game and currently are 4th in three-point shooting at 39.5 percent from beyond the arc. The Magic on the other hand is not as good as the Kings. The Kings have the advantage outside the paint. I have Kings by 4 points. The under is good here too. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME SPURS -7.5 Dallas is in the middle of a 3 game losing streak, after their loss to the Utah Jazz, 113 - 104; Gobert: 23 pts, 16 reb, 3 blk, 2 stl. The Mavericks have a 2-4 record during their last 10-game stretch and are 0-3 in away games this season. Dennis Smith Jr. dropped a team-high 27 points in their last game. He shot a 63.2% field goal percentage, making 12-of-19 (no free throw attempts, 3/4 from three-point range). Smith Jr. finished with 27 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound, 2 blocks and 3 threes with 3 turnovers in 33 minutes. The Spurs have to much firepower and should win by 12 points or more. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME WARRIORS -11 Chicago won their last game against the Atlanta Hawks, 97 - 85; LaVine: 27 points, 11 rebounds. The Bulls enter this contest with a 2-4 record in their last 10 games and a 1-1 mark at home. Zach LaVine dropped a team-high 27 points in their last game. He shot a 47.4% field goal percentage, making 9-of-19 (8/10 from the line, 1/5 from three-point range). LaVine finished with 27 points, 3 assists, 11 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 three with 9 turnovers in 34 minutes. The Bulls rank well in three point percentage (#5), field goal percentage (#11) and free throw percentage (#15). The team needs work on offensive rebounds per game (#30), points per game (#23) and turnovers per game (#22). Golden State is on a 4 game win streak, after they beat the Brooklyn Nets, 120 - 114; Curry, Durant combine for 69 points. The Warriors have a 6-1 record during their last 10-game stretch and are 3-1 in away games this season. Stephen Curry dropped a team-high 35 points in their last game. He shot a 42.3% field goal percentage, making 11-of-26 (6/7 from the line, 7/15 from three-point range). Curry finished with 35 points, 3 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 7 threes with 2 turnovers in 36 minutes. The Warriors rank highly on assists per game (#1), field goal percentage (#1) and free throw percentage (#3). The team needs work on turnovers per game (#25), offensive rebounds per game (#22) and defensive rebounds per game (#12). The key in this game is the point spread. The Warriors can play in cruise control, and put up points from fouls. Chicago will attempt more 3 point shots to stay in range. The Warriors by 17 points or more. |

The Blazers have a 3-2 record during their last 10-game stretch and are 1-1 in away games this season. Damian Lillard led the Blazers with 42 points in their last game against the heat. He went 15-of-28 from the field, for a 53.6% field goal percentage; 7/7 from the line, 5/11 from three-point range. In 36 minutes, Lillard's stat line came out to 42 points, 6 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 threes with 1 turnover. The key in this game is the drive. The Blazers should win this game outright, since they have the firepower. I like the over here as well. |

10-26-18 | Nets v. Pelicans -9.5 | 115-117 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
NBA 75 DIME GAME PELICANS -9.5 The Nets are off to a modest 2-2 start in the season, but they’ll be way in over their heads against the Pelicans. They don’t have nearly enough firepower to go shot-for-shot with the top-ranked scoring team in the NBA, much less the defense to slow them down. The Pelicans are averaging 132 points per game and beating opponents by an average of 15.3 points. Meanwhile, Brooklyn still ranks as one of the worst scoring teams in the league, despite all of their improvements, and opponents are averaging 106.5 points per game on them. That isn’t a good thing when going on the road to take on one of the top-three best players in the NBA. There might be no answer for Davis on any roster, and there certainly isn’t one on the Nets’. Obviously, the Nets could always get hot from the field, particularly from beyond the arc. They have been a middle-of-the-road three-point shooting team throughout the first four games of the season. Russell, Harris, Jared Dudley and Spencer Dinwiddie are all capable of knocking down the three-pointer. However, it still won’t be enough to pull off the upset against this surging Pelicans team. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME RAPTORS -11 Toronto has been on a roll despite having to integrate a new star (Leonard) and a new coach (Nurse) into the system. Despite all that, the Raptors are outscoring the opposition by 11.2 points per game so far this year. We saw some good things from the Mavericks but blowing a 26 point lead against the Hawks to lose by seven dulls the shine of any positives they had. Toronto is 4-0 at home and unbeaten overall on the year: you can’t expect Dallas to upend them after Wednesday’s meltdown. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME WARRIORS -12 While the Warriors have had their struggles on the road in the early going this season, there’s no reason to think that the Knicks can hang around here. Sure, they’re 2-0 ATS but they beat a bad Atlanta team, then got the Celtics shorthanded in the second game of a back to back to cover. Golden State showed how dangerous they can be Wednesday night by carving up the Wizards. The Warriors simply have too much talent for New York to contend with. You have to ride Golden State into the ground here as they overwhelm the Knicks, who are still shell shocked after the third quarter against the Heat. The over is a play as well. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME LAKERS +3 Both center Nikola Jokic shooting guard Gary Harris are averaging more than 20 points per game for the Nuggets. That being said, it’s not like the Lakers cannot keep up with their own offense. This should be a classic Western Conference game, with both teams running up and down the floor and scoring in bunches. Although L.A. is winless as of Wednesday, it has been competitive. A turn of the corner should come soon, and it will likely come in front of the home crowd. But take the four points just to be safe. |

10-25-18 | Celtics -1 v. Thunder | 101-95 | Win | 100 | 4 h 49 m | Show | |
NBA 75 DIME GAME CELTICS -1 Not even Westbrook can hide the fact that the Thunder aren’t shooting the ball well right now. As a team, they are shooting 39 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from the free throw line. They have also struggled defensively, giving up 108-plus points in each outing. More importantly, however, they haven’t shot the ball well from beyond the arc, and there’s no secret that bad three-point shooting teams typically don’t do well in today’s NBA. It would be surprising to see Tatum and Brown have another night where both fail to score double-digits for the Celtics. This is the kind of bounce back opportunity they’ll sink their teeth into in hopes of sending a message that they are legitimate championship contenders. Westbrook and Paul George should have big games against the Celtics defense, but the two of them alone won’t be enough to stave off the Celtics’ ridiculous depth. They’ll get lit up again for a second consecutive game on their home floor and plummet to a shocking 0-4 start. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME BLAZERS _3.5 The Magic have been one of those teams in recent years that cannot stand prosperity. Every time they get off to a solid start or have a big win, they have trouble capitalizing on it and tend to letdown. There is no reason to think that this year’s team is any different. After starting the season with a big divisional win, the dropped their next contest at home the Hornets 120-88. You can expect more of the same on Wednesday night at Amway when a pissed off Portland side comes into town looking to get the nasty taste of their first loss of the season out of their mouth. |

Rockets have a 0-1 home record this season, while the Jazz are 1-0 on the road. Rockets are better offensively, scoring 116 ppg to Jazz’s 110, while the Jazz are better defensively, allowing 111 ppg to Rockets’ 120.3. Rockets have a better field goal percentage (45.49% to 44%), while the Jazz have a better 3-point percentage (38.1% to 37.6%). Rockets are also better both in dimes made (23.7 to 21) and in turnovers committed (14 to 16.3), while the Jazz are better in boards grabbed (44 to 42). Despite their struggles in this season the Rockets remain the big favorite for the win today. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME KNICKS +8 New York Knicks have a 1-3 record so far this season and currently sit in the third to last place of the East. They have three consecutive losses and in their last game they lost on the road against the Bucks with a 113-124 score. They are led in scoring by Tim Hardaway Jr with 27 ppg, adding 3.2 boards and 2.8 dimes. He is followed by Enes Kanter with 19 ppg and a team high 12.2 boards per game, while Trey Burke adds 13.2 ppg and a team high 5.2 dimes per game. In their four meetings last season, each team won twice at home with the Heat winning by an average of 12.5 points. Heat have a 0-1 home record this season, while the Knicks are 0-2 on the road. Knicks are better offensively, scoring 111.3 ppg to Heat’s 108.7, while the Heat are better defensively, allowing 109.7 ppg to Knicks’ 110.3. Knicks have better percentages both in field goals (43.19% to 41.34%) and in 3-pointers (34.4% to 31.37%). They are also better in turnovers committed (11.8 to 17.3), while the Heat are better both in boards grabbed (52 to 48) and in dimes made (20.7 to 20). Knicks have been one of the weakest squads in the East but they are a different team with superstars. The Knicks will put up more points! The Knicks can pull the upset here. |

NBA 75 DIME Game Nets +3 The Nets are a decent basketball team. They might not have the sexier names but the Nets are younger and faster than the Cavaliers. They shoot better, never stop hustling, better defensively and that’s a credit to their Head Coach Kenny Atkinson. If you watched the Cavaliers/Hawks game you saw Trae Young go off against them in their own barn. If you indeed saw the game you had to of noticed the Cavs weren’t guarding Young, or anyone else for that matter. The Cavaliers were an awful defensive team last season but they had LeBron James to save them. Unfortunately for the Cavaliers those problems aren’t solved overnight and mu money is on the Nets Wednesday night. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME NUGGETS -11.5 I am taking the Nuggets in this one. The Nuggets are off to a terrific 3-0 start and they should come away with a convincing win. Denver features a ton of scoring depth, and their rebounding and defense has been outstanding. They are limiting opponents to 41% shooting in three games, and they rank third in the NBA with an average of 52 rebounds per game. While Sacramento is enjoying a hot start offensively, they won’t keep up their current pace. They were the lowest scoring team in the NBA last season, and they will have a tough time against a Denver team playing stellar defense, plus the Kings defense has been awful through three games. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME PELICANS -6.5 LA is going to have a tough time keeping New Orleans’ offensive attack in check. The Pelicans are blistering the nets in the early going of the season as Mirotic has meshed well with Davis. New Orleans has found some quality role players to work with in their rotation. The Clippers could be without Bradley in this one, which could impact their defensive scheme. In the end, LA doesn’t have the weapons to contend with the Pelicans’ depth and skill players. Davis and Mirotic lead the way for a New Orleans victory. |

It is starting to look a lot like the oddmakers are going to give the Lakers more credit than they are worth this season due to the addition of King James. The truth of the matter is, the Lakers, just like last year, are a mess. They are going to be the kind of team that will hang around for a while, and it is almost hard not to when you have the best basketball player on the planet on your team, but until they develop more team chemistry they are just not going to be there at the end. |

The team has two days off and is furious about blowing a victory against the defending NBA champions.

NBA 100 DIME GAME PACERS +3.5 This matchup features two very evenly matched teams and I expect a close, hard fought divisional battle, so I am siding with Indiana. The Pacers are coming off a dominating 28 point win against Memphis, and their scoring depth should make an impact. The Bucks’ three point defense ranked near the bottom of the NBA last season as opponents shot 37.3% from beyond the arc against them, and the Pacers ranked eighth in the NBA with a solid 37% efficiency from three-point range last year. Furthermore, the Bucks rebounding was an issue last season as they ranked last in the NBA with an average of only 39.9 rebounds per game. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME RAPTORS -2.5 The two acquisitions from the San Antonio Spurs in the offseason, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green, were great in their Raptor regular-season debuts. Leonard’s 24 and 12 were already mentioned above, but Green hit 3 of 7 three-pointers, added five rebounds, and was a plus-15 in his 33 minutes of playing time. Toronto will take that every game. The Raptors hit 14 of 33 threes against Cleveland, powered by Kyle Lowry hitting 5 of 6. The Raptors’ bench scored 35 points, picking up from last season when it was also one of the best supporting casts in the NBA. Toronto’s defense was prone to fouling – it allowed Cleveland to shoot 39 free throws – but it limited the Cavs to just seven made threes and 40 percent field goal shooting. The NBA head coaching debut of new Toronto boss Nick Nurse went relatively smoothly. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME KNICKS +4 New York plans to play at a faster pace this season and it showed in the opener as they played at a faster tempo than any team that has logged a game so far this season. The Knicks were just 17th in that category a year ago and the new strategy might be effective given that they have to make up for Porzingis’s absence. The Nets hung tough despite their poor three point shooting but it’s tough to like a team that is overreliant on perimeter shooting despite a pronounced inability to have success. That’s Brooklyn in a nutshell. In one of the season’s early improbabilities, the Knicks take advantage of the Nets and start the year 2-0. |

The Wizards know they’re facing a crossroads and they need a win in the worst way. Look for Washington to take advantage of the fatigue factor and grind out a win in this one. |

11-15-17 | Pistons v. Bucks -4 | 95-99 | Push | 0 | 2 h 56 m | Show | |
NBA 75 DIME GAME BUCKS -4 The Milwaukee Bucks limited the Grizzlies to 38 points in the second half in their solid 110-103 home win against Memphis on Monday night. The Bucks shot a terrific 48.8% from the field and out-rebounded the Grizzlies by a 48-43 margin. Giannis Antetokounmpo was sharp once again, sinking 27 points on 10 for 22 shooting and picked up nine rebounds. The 22-year old power forward is having a spectacular season, leading the NBA with an average of 31.3 points to go with 10.3 rebounds per game. Antetokounmpo scored 29 points on a 13 for 27 clip from the field in the Bucks loss to the Pistons earlier this month. Eric Bledsoe played his third game as a member of the Bucks on Monday night and collected 17 points and seven boards. The 27-year old point guard is now averaging 14.3 points in six games this season. I have the Bucks beating the Pistons by 6 points. |

10-25-17 | Raptors v. Warriors -12 | 112-117 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
NBA 75 DIME GAME WARRIORS -12 This line was delayed as the injury bug has taken a bite out of the Raptors. Starting centre Jonas Valanciunas is reportedly out with an ankle injury and leading-scorer DeMar DeRozan is questionable with a thigh injury. Golden State is 9-1 straight up in its last 10 games against Canada’s hoops team, but the Raptors have made things respectable against the league champs recently. Toronto is 2-1-1 ATS in its last four contests against the Dubs. The Warriors picked up their first ATS win of the season on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. Steve Kerr’s crew is 2-2 straight up and 1-3 against the spread in its first four games. They’ve played over the total in three of their four games as well. Toronto lost and failed to cover as a 2.5-point dog at San Antonio on Monday, bringing its season ATS record to 2-1. I have the Warriors winning 115-100. |

10-25-17 | Spurs -4 v. Heat | 117-100 | Win | 100 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
NBA 75 DIME GAME SPURS -4 Hassan Whiteside’s absence will hurt the Heat in this one, especially in the paint against a Spurs team that features Aldridge and Gasol. The Spurs defense has been outstanding, holding opponents to 41.3% shooting from the field, and they limited a potent Raptors team to only 97 points on Monday night. The Spurs won’t need to score big points due to their stifling defensive play that has allowed fewer than 100 points in all three games. I have the Spurs by 8 |

NBA 75 DIME GAME TIMBERWOLVES -12 Indiana has really tapered off since their offensive bonanza to start the season against the Nets. The loss of Turner with a concussion has hurt them on both ends of the floor. Minnesota has won two straight against divisional opponents despite surviving a pair of blown calls in the final five seconds that could have swung things the other way. The Timberwolves are at home and have better talent than the Pacers. Look for Minnesota to win their third straight here. |

10-23-17 | Wizards v. Nuggets -4 | Top | 109-104 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 12 m | Show |
NBA 75 DIME GAME NUGGETS -4 The Wizards are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 2 days rest, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Nuggets are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 Monday games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Southeast and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The home team is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings, the favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings and the over is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings. The Washington Wizards continue to deal with injuries and a lack of depth, which almost cost them both of their first two victories. Washington also isn't nearly the same team on the road as it is at home. The Denver Nuggets are a legit playoff contender in the West this season and need to take care of home court to make that a reality. A much better showing for the Nuggets in their last game, and I expect them to build on that here |

10-23-17 | Warriors -12.5 v. Mavs | 133-103 | Win | 100 | 3 h 41 m | Show | |
NBA 75 DIME GAME The Warriors were outplayed by the Grizzlies on the road and lost their cool in the process. Golden State doesn’t have meltdowns like that often and you have to wonder if the three straight long seasons have taken a toll on the rotation. You’re talking about an extra 62 games in the last three postseasons, which is a lot on top of the regular season grind. Dallas is struggling as they’re young and Nowitzki is scuffling in the early going. This one likely is a Golden State romp as the Warriors get back to form with a win here. |

NBA 75 DIME GAME WOLVES +2 San Antonio is a force to be reckoned with as Popovich gets the most production that anyone would be able to conjure up. The Spurs, though, will be minus two-fifths of their starting lineup with Parker and Leonard out of the mix for this contest. Minnesota has plenty of new talent in the mix with Butler working with Towns and Wiggins combining to form a formidable trio. The Timberwolves have struggled against the Spurs in recent years but they get the upper hand thanks to injuries. Take the points and Minnesota, even on the road. According to my analysis, I have the Timberwolves winning 204-201 |

NBA 100 DIME GAME Both teams come into this series in good health, although the Cavaliers are clearly the more rested squad. Cleveland ranks 1st in offensive efficiency and 5th in rebound rate during the postseason. That spells plenty of trouble for Boston, who ranks last in rebound rate. Take Cleveland to pull away in the second half and steal Game One on the road. Final Score Prediction, Cleveland Cavaliers win and cover ATS 115-107. |

04-28-17 | Clippers +6 v. Jazz | 98-93 | Win | 100 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
NBA 75 DIME CHAMPIONSHIP GAME The Clippers are currently tied for 12th in the playoffs in scoring offense with 99 points per game. LA is tied for 14th in the league in rebounding with 37 boards per game and 12th in assists with 19.2 per contest. The Clippers are solid defensively, ranking tied for 4th in scoring defense by allowing 99 points per game. Blake Griffin was second on the team in the playoffs with 20.3 points plus six rebounds per game: he is done for the year with a toe injury. Chris Paul contributes a team high 27 points, 10.4 assists and two steals per game. Reddick contributes 11.4 points a night, Jamal Crawford chips in 11.2 points a game in a sixth man role and DeAndre Jordan puts up 14.2 points and 13 rebounds per night. Marreese Speights, Austin Rivers, Luc Mbah a Moute, Paul Pierce and Raymond Felton are key pieces off the bench. Rivers just returned from a strained hamstring and was scoreless in Game 5. LA is 5th in the league in field goal percentage as they shoot 47.7 percent from the floor. The Clippers are tied for 11th in three pointers a game with 8.4 and 8th in three point shooting as they hit 35.6 percent of their long range attempts. The Clippers will be in range. |

04-28-17 | Wizards +3 v. Hawks | Top | 115-99 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
NBA 75 DIME MEGA MOVE I am taking the points with the Wizards in this one. The Wizards came through with arguably their best defensive performance in game five which gives me confidence in them in this one. The Wizards definitely have the stronger offense of the two teams and when they are playing strong defense I don’t believe this Hawks team can beat them, plus the Hawks are only shooting 43% in this series.The combination of Bradley Beal and John Wall have been a force in this series and I think they will come through again in game six. |
