“GOOD” BET (3 stars / 5):
My first pick of the week goes to the Pacers +2.5 against the Jazz. Both Rodney Hood and Derrick Favors are question marks heading into this matchup (both struggling with knee injuries). Utah has dropped two games in a row (3 of their past 5). In the only previous meeting this season, the Jazz won 109-100 on their home court. As a matter of fact, they have beaten Indiana 3 straight times, but had lost 6 of 7 prior to that run. The Pacers have looked totally different at home (24-10) versus on the road (11-24). They are 4-11 when playing the second of back-to-back games this year, but notice they benefited from 3 full days of rest before yesterday’s game (so I’m hoping they still have a lot of energy!).
“PROCEED WITH CAUTION” BET (1 star / 5):
I’m going with Golden State -1.5 in Oklahoma City. The Warriors have easily won all 3 games against the Thunder in 2016-2017: by 26 and 21-point margins at home, and by a 16-point margin on the road. Following the injury to Kevin Durant, Golden State went 2-5 but they are now riding a 3-game winning streak. The Thunder is a streaky team: they won 4 straight games, followed by a 4-game skid, which was followed by the current 5-game winning streak. The Warriors have beaten OKC six consecutive times (including playoff games). The crowd won’t be as hostile with Durant on the sidelines (though I’m sure they will still be pumped up!). After sitting out a game in San Antonio, Stephen Curry is slowly gaining his MVP form back as the team.
Thank you for reading this report and enjoy the games!
