my record: 14-11
fade hydro record: 14-10

fade hydro picks: hornets -3.5 and jazz -3.5

my picks: hornets -3.5

hornets -3.5 reasoning: giannis is the sole reason the bucks are relevant. contain him and you have a great shot of winning the game. i think the hornets possess the capability to do such a thing. hornets have all their pieces back finally, mkg can take on giannis and zellar can contain the points scored in the paint. the bucks also have no one to contain dwight tonight, with greg monroe being out, howard is going to feast on the feeble thon today and crash the glass hard. hornets lead the league in rebounds, while the bucks rank dead last, my god what a disparity. the hornets are coming off an impressive win against the grizzlies and magic, while the bucks are reeling off losses to the celtics and okc. to cement this bet as a lock, coincidentally, hydro is on bucks, so slam away fam.

My record: 15-11
Fade hydro record: 16-10

My picks: celtics +6.5, wizards -3.5, jazz -1.5 and jazz/raptors under 193

Celtics +6.5 reasoning: theyre 7-1 ats, theyre the best team in the east, and they have the best defense in the league, whats not to love? Clearly i must be missing something because i cant understand how okc is favored 6.5 points. Sure they have westbrook/pg/melo, but they havent been impressive really. They have a 3 headed monster on offense, but im curious to see how brad stevens tames that tonight. I think this total stays low tonight, below 205 for sure with how their defensive rankings match up, and giving the ats covering machines a 6.5 cushion is too good to pass up.

Wizards -3.5 reasoning: cavs have been sinking deeper and deeper each game they play, eventually there will be a legitimate time to panic. Sure its earlier in the season, and sure thomas hasnt even played yet, but no one expected the cavs to be getting their guts rearranged. They are an abysmal 1-7 ats, own the 27th worst defensive rating in the league (washington has the 20th for comparison) and rate 17th in the league, below league average, for points scored which is 105, meanwhile the wizards are fourth in the league at ppg scored at 112. The wizards at home are a different team then when they travel, with an offensive display of 117ppg. I know the cavs cant keep losing forever, and lebron is bound to drop some insane 42/15/12 stat line and backpack his team to a win, but they have shown zero reason to back them at the moment, so this is a fade play more than anything.

Jazz -1.5 reasoning: jazz own the second best defense overall in the league, and the first beat home defense in the league. The raptors have a 104ppg away average, and havent been as explosive as they were last year. Lowry has been mediocre thus far, leaving the burden of scoring primarily on derozan. The jazz grind out possessions, are patient, have a better rim protector and an impressive 5-0 su home record. I dont see how the raptors pull away in this one, jazz will smother them out.

Jazz/raptors under 195 reasoning: best home defense in the league meets a stagnant raptors offense. The jazz have hit the under 4 of their last 6 and the raptors 4 of their last 5. Expect the jazz to hold the ball until 3 seconds before taking a shot and chipping time off the clock, expect the raptors to take long jumpshots for an easy one and done possession.

My record: 16-13
Fade hydro record: 16-11

My picks: warriors -9 and warriors/nuggets over 229

Warriors -9 reasoning: denver on a back to back, barely eeked out a win against the heat last night, and are now poised to face the best offense in the league. Warriors just blew the doors off the clippers and are looking like they woke up from their slump to start the season. Warriors lead the league in offense at 120ppg, while denver averages 105ppg, both teams rank below the league average in defense, but the warriors abide by the “best defense is a strong offense” saying. I expect a close game up until the 3rd, when the warriors depth drowns the nuggets.

Warriors/nuggets over 229 reasoning: over has hit the last 5 out of 5 times between these two teams, and 15 of the last 19 times the warriors have played overall. Every game this year, minus spurs, the warriors have given up at least 100 points, denver has given up 100+ points all of their games, with the exception of just 2 games. Both teams play at an upbeat tempo, so i expect a lot of scoring to happen. I expect jurkic to feast tonight against the warriors inferior center in zaza, and green wont be able to compensate the height difference when they run small ball. If the warriors can drop 140 on the clippers, the should be able to recreate that offense tonight against the nuggets.
