NBA - 807 Milwaukee Bucks @ 808 Cleveland Cavaliers
Play #1
CLE defense has been just awful lately especially w/ their guards – K. Irving really can’t guard anyone as when D.J Augustin is able to hit 8-14 FG, 5-8 3 pts, 6-6 FT while having 7-2 A/TO vs. CLE= that’s a pretty good sign of mediocrity.
MIL’s offense obviously is far from being a decent unit, but they have in B. Knight a pretty aggressive PG that will explore this CLE bad positional defense.
MIL is coming from a rare win in their last game vs. DET. Coach Larry Drew decided to start w/ Ilyasova + Henson + Udoh on the frontcourt (Ilyasova being the “Small Forward” of the team) and while MIL was able to score well near the basket w/ 46 points in the paint, their perimeter defense was really terrible w/ bad defensive positioning. For some reason, B. Jennings ended the game w/ 11-23 FG & 30 points and Stuckey w/ 8-16 FG & 23 points.
NOTE: L. Drew confirmed that he will use the same starting lineup for tonight
These are extremely good news for this CLE offense that depends on their backcourt to be efficient on the offensive end and so, we can expect K. Irving, D. Waiters, J. Jack & L. Deng to enjoy some nice offensive edge on their matchups. My fair line for this contest is 198 points and therefore, I’m taking the Over in here as my Single Dime Play.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 807/808 Over 194.5 @ -110 / 1.91 on 5 Dimes
NBA - 801 Los Angeles Lakers @ 802 Orlando Magic
Play #2
After fading the Lakers last night, I’m doing it again for tonight against the Magic on the road.
We are dealing w/ a potential letdown spot for them w/ b2b spot and after playing “well” last night vs. MIA as their 3 top players logged more than 35 minutes while this is their last b2b game of this current road trip.
The Lakers really can’t defend anyone from the perimeter… MIA was able to shot almost 60% FG and IMO, the X factor of this contest will be on the perimeter for ORL. ORL is still playing without Vucevic, so their backcourt needs to be productive if they want to have any chance of being competitive. Fortunately for them, Nelson, Afflalo & Oladipo will all enjoy some great matchups vs. bad & tired LAL backcourt and therefore, I’m taking ORL in here as my Single Dime Play.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 802 Orlando Magic (-2) @ -110 / 1.91 on 5 Dimes
