FRE FRIDAY PICKS!
Cleveland at Charlotte (-4.5) (WINNER!)
The Cavs have looked ok, but Luol Deng has not since the deadline. He was supposed to push this team into a first round playoff exit. With Al M.F. Jefferson standing in their way, it ain't gonna happen. Kemba will out play Kyrie, MKG will lock down whoever he wants and the Bobcats will revel in being a playoff team!
Memphis at Chicago (+1) (L)
Picking a game when Chicago is involved is asking for a brutal night. This slow, grind it out, defensive game will come down to Thibs being a boss ass coach and the Zach Randolph being exhausted in the first quarter. Should be a great battle between Noah and Gasol.
BK (-4) at Boston (L)
DET (+9.5) at MIN (L)
The knock on Minnesota is that they have no one to protect the rim. Pekovic and Love are both solid offensive players but neither of them can make defenders think twice about driving to the hole. Detroit has a massive front line and they should be able to keep this game close by pounding the ball down low for some uncontested dunks.
Milwaukee (+7.5) at NO (L)
This one scares me I'm not gonna lie. Any time you bet on a time that has less than fifteen wins you have to be a little nervous. Tonight I'm banking on newly acquired guard Ramon Sessions to have a huge game and keep this one close enough to get the cover.
POR (+2) at DAL (L)
Portland has returned to form as of late and Damien Lillard continues to play at an elite level for a scoring point guard. This game will come down to which big man can get going and I think LMFAO not only drops in 30-35 but also contests all of Dirk Nasty's patented step back jumpers forcing him into a rough 3-14 night shooting.
SAC at TOR (-6.5) (WINNER!)
The return of Rudy Gay to Toronto.Tonight he gets a front row seat to see why it was he was traded, and why his departure has made the Raptors a better team. Look for some strong passing, shooting, and defense from the Raptors, and the Kings to play selfish ISO-ball en route to a 20 point loss at the hands of the raptors.
