Picks against the spread

 Spread Points   Result
Charlotte Over Charlotte
-5.5 203.5 100-92
  • Hornets are a different team at home and look to bounce back after a 126-94 thumping at the Celtics on Wednesday.
  • Charlotte are 17-8 at home but fell to 7-18 on the road with Wednesday’s loss.
  • Memphis are looking to ship veterans Conley and Gasol, which makes us want to stay away from this one, with too many moving parts.
  • Memphis lost 140-79 decision at Charlotte last season, the worst loss in franchise history.
  • The last meeting brought the points, and with not much swaying us in the way of a winner here, a total points bet is tempting. However the trends scream Unders, so we are lost. No bet.

-13.0 215.5 113-99
  • Celtics dominate this matchup statistically.
  • Celtics look to post their 8th win in 9 games and give the host Knicks their 12th straight loss.
  • Knicks are racing to the bottom of the standings with losses in 19 of their last 20 and failed to score at least 100 points in any of the last four contests. The Zion Williamson Cup is within sight.
  • Knicks have slid Kanter to the end of the bench, leading to the 26-year-old to tell management to play him or trade him.
  • Knicks are a hot mess and the Celtics are streaking, still the -13.5 is a stretch away from TD Garden with the Celtics 1-4 in their last 5 road games.
  • Celtics rank 2nd defensively and should have little issues against a depleted Knicks’ team, however strange shit can happen during the trade period. Totals lines best.
