Double D NBA Picks!

CATZ

CHI (+1.5) vs. WAS

The Wizards are having themselves a little spring free fall over the past few weeks. Lucky for them they play in the East which features all of one title contender (sorry Atlanta). Meanwhile on the other side of things we have the Bulls who fancied themselves a title contender as well until recently when D Rose and Jimmy Butler were knocked out for at least a month. So why would I take the Bulls you ask? Because I actually really like this offense when it runs through a now healthy Joakim Noah. He's gonna catch the ball at the free throw line, pivot, and fire an entry pass to Gasol on the inside or Mirotic sitting in the corner ready to splash when needed. Look for Noah to have no less than 15 dimes tonight and most likely a very Joakim type game (13 pts, 12 rebs, 15 dimes) as the Bulls continue to ruin the Wizards season and Randy Whitman's seat gets hotter. 

BOS (+10) vs. CLE

How are you gonna give a Brad Stevens coached team that features Isaiah Thomas coming off the bench ten points!! Oh, they're playing against Cleveland? Is LeBron out? Naw, alright well I guess ill just bank on Boston fighting for a playoff spot while Cleveland has their spot engraved in stone. Hopefully the Celtics do just enough to keep this one close and don't get blowed out.

UTA (+8) vs MEM

It really pains me to bet against the Grizz, a team that might win the West this year. The thing is, Utah is and has been undervalued all year. They have a young squad with some players that can definitely hang in the NBA. Hell, if they were in the East they would be a playoff squad. The Jazz have covered 7 of their last 8 while the Grizz are something like 3 for their last 10. This should be a pretty low scoring game where the Jazz are able to keep it close in a loss.

MIL (-5.5) vs DEN

Damnit  I was way more confident in this pick before Brian shaw was fired. He's one of the worst coaches I've ever seen and the team had clearly given up on him weeks ago. Tonight, they may be so overjoyed by the lack of B Shaw that they come out and dominate. This shouldn't happen as the Bucks are rolling this season and need the win to snap a 2 game skid and try to overtake Washington in the playoff race.
