My record: 9-7
Fade hydro record: 10-8
My picks: raptors/lakers under 222, wizards +11.5 and warriors/wizards over 231
Raptors/lakers under 222 reasoning: lakers blow old dick when it comes to actually scoring the ball, as was evident when they played the wizards. Before overtime, the total for that game was 40 point below the line, 40 whole fucking points. I think the raptors and wizards are similar teams, but the raptors play slightly better defense, so i expect another shit show from the lakers who will struggle all game to score.
Wizards +12 reasoning: the warriors are my favorite team, and i watch all of their games, and up to this point, i feel as if vegas has been overvaluing them slightly. The spread should be closer to 7ish, the wizards are a run and gun team, wall loves to drive, beal loves to shoot, they match up well to the warriors. I expect a warriors win, but not a blowout, i think the magechildren stick around and cover.
Warriors/wizards over 230 reasoning: as i previously stated in my last explanation, the wizards are a run and gun team, expect wall to be driving his heart out, expect beal to try and match pace against curry/durant/thompson, and look for zaza to get bullied inside the paint by gortat. Last time they met, the total eclipsed 250, and while i dont see that happening again, although theres always a possibility, i expect this game to be dynamic and the offenses going full throttle.
