NBA Sides Season Record: 15-12-3 (+2.57 Units) — Betting 1 Unit to Win X
7:00pm cst: Detroit Pistons vs. New Orleans Pelicans -4; Total 215
The Pelicans completed a strong comeback last night against the Thunder after being down by 22 points. The Pistons on the other hand blew a 20 point lead and lost to the Trail Blazers. Zion Williamson will be OUT tonight. Brandon Ingram and Jalen Duren are QUESTIONABLE at this time. It is important to note that the Pelicans are typically strong on back to backs and the Pistons struggle. I am a huge fan of this Pelicans defense. Rookie guard Jordan Hawkins is looking better and better each game with his minutes increasing. I want to lay it here with the Pelicans because of their defense. Ingram and Duren non factors for me. If Duren starts this number will propably dip but I still like NO.
Pick: Pelicans -4 (-112) [via DraftKings]
8:00pm cst: Orlando Magic -2 vs. Utah Jazz; Total 220.5
The Utah Jazz are coming off a massive blowout win last night against Memphis. Do not let that fool you. Utah was terrible last season on back to backs even at home. Orlando had some great performances at home. Both of these teams play big. Magic are also coming off back to back losses to the LA teams so I expect a strong performance here in a bounce back.
Pick: Magic -2 (-110) [via Caesars]
9:00pm cst: San Antonio Spurs vs. Phoenix Suns -9.5; Total 227.5
A new rivalry brewing once again? That just might be the case. The Suns blew a huge 20+ point lead to the Spurs a couple nights ago and they meet again. The Spurs continue to be plagued by their turnovers and lack of defense. In the second half when these two last met, the Spurs correct those mistakes and stood toe to toe with the Suns. The Suns had a great 3PT shooting night and it still was not enough. I think the correct number for this game is around 7. We do not know yet if Devin Booker is playing so this play will be pending depending on the news. I am assuming Booker will add three points to the already nine that we have. I also think this number -9 does not include Booker starting.
Pick: PENDING
