Catz's NBA Locks

MEM (+3) vs. LAC

When I was looking at the picks for yesterday, I really wanted to grab the Grizz on the road in Rip City getting 3 points and I did not...what happened? They won. Lesson learned Grizz, lesson learned. The Grizz are for real this year, anytime you can get points with them, take it.

Mr. Nutz's snarky commentary: I agree with this pick, but the line smells fishier than....well, I just think it's weird. Memphis should be a favorite coming out of the West. The Clips aren't that great and can't depend on Austin "Sub-Zero" rivers to drop career highs every night.

MIN (+9) vs. HOU

Wolves have played a lot better since they got some actual NBA players back in their lineup. Wiggins has developed really nicely and is starting to look like the franchise cornerstone that everyone was jacked about during last season. 9 is way too many points, especially because the Rockets played last night and are probably exhausted.

Mr. Nutz's snarky commentary:  Ricky Rubbbeeezzzz! Rubio has had shitty luck this year with the ankle injury, but he has legitimately improved as an NBA player. He still can't shoot, but apparently that's all he worked on while he was injured, so we shall see. 

CHI (-7) vs. MIL

I wanted to take the feisty Bucks team here especially because they were getting so many points, and then I looked at their injury report!! Lets just put it this way, if you compare this list with my list of supermodels I've dated, one of them is way longer than the other (ill let you figure out which one). The Bucks are usually a good squad, but I think tonight is going to be too much with a limited roster. Bulls win big.

Mr. Nutz's snarky commentary: SMH, it's way more fun to take the Bucks...
