NBA Wednesday Picks Preview
Well, I’d like to say I’m returning to this segment in blazing glory, but unfortunately, that is not the case. I went 1/3 this Sunday thanks to a couple of pathetic showings from certain players on certain teams. I don’t want to name names, but everyone’s favorite player, ADisgrace, made a cameo appearance. Nevertheless, I am here to prove the haters wrong. Like Jay Z once said, whenever I hit the ground I bounce up like round ball.
Lakers -1.5 (-112) @ Bulls
- Ohh I can already hear the boo birds crying. I guess you guys didn’t know my middle name was consistency. The man with one brow (who must not be named) really fucked me over last time (no surprise there). HOWEVER, the key is having faith in one man: Patrick Beverly. He tried to “little guy” Lebron last game so you know that he’ll be EXTRA confident going into this one, and that is exactly where I like him. I’ll just have to hope and pray he doesn’t foul out and fuck over the Lakers’ chances before time expires.
Clippers +5 (-110) @ Memphis
- I know Playoff P was tragically injured last week, but that won’t deter me from sticking with the homer LA pick. Ja Morant is currently listed as out and the Grizz will be on the second night of a back2back. Kawhi has been out of his programming this whole month and I’m going to need him to carry the load in this one. As long as someone updates his AI so Kawhi avoids the strip club, I’ll be confident.
PHX -6 (-110) vs. Minnesota
- The return of Kevin Durant is finally upon us. I can’t beleive one of the games biggest superstars almost had his season ended by slipping on a banana peel. While objectively hilarious, we’re gonna need a banana-free arena tomorrow night if we’re going to win this one. Some KD always comes back from injury like nothing happened, so I’m not worried about him struggling to blend in. The T-Wolves are hot right now and are seeking their 4th W in a row- I’m confident Rudy Gobert will prevent that from happening. Karl Towns and the Ant-Man are also listed as ‘doubtful’ for tomorrow, so if that stands they are fucked. This will however fulfill KAT’s lifelong dream of being a cheerleader, and he can perform his feminine chants to his heart’s desire from the bench. Maybe he’ll even get a manicure at halftime.
This is a verrrry tantalizing Wednesday NBA slate. I know I let you guys down last time but I’m back now. It’s time for some Truzz. Eventually, I know this blog will get dangerously close to finance territory. I’m basically giving away free money, which should be illegal. Remember: it’s just as hard to go 0-3 than 3-0. Positive Vibes only, let’s ride.

Sunday NBA Picks
It is said that we are supposed to rest on the Sabbath. Well, whoever said that clearly had never experienced the thrill of sweating out spreads on a classic NBA Sunday. As a fat friend of mine once said, it’s time to get into the nitty-gritty.
LA Lakers -3.5 vs. Chicago.
- There’s not much to be said here. The Lakers are on an absolute heater and will probrably win every game by double digits the rest of the way. Add on Patrick Beverly saying he’s here to put an end to LakeShow dominance and you can guarantee he’ll fall short on that. Moral of the story: always fade Pat Bev.
BKN Nets +1.5 at Orlando.
- I don’t even understand this line. Is it because Seth Curry is out? I doubt it, considering he’s Seth Curry and the Magic will also be without Jalen Sucks and Franz Wagner. The Nets do not suck even after trading KD and Kyrie. Orlando should be trying their hardest to lose this game anyways. The Wembanyama tank-a-thon is on and that’s not a race you want to fall behind in. Throw in the damn towel.
MEM Grizzlies -2 at Atlanta.
- I know Ja Morant isn’t exactly the most popular guy right now. Despite his troubling strip club addiction, he’s still quite good at basketball. If he can make it rain on the court as much as he does on the poles, this game won’t even be close. He’ll give Trae Young a lap dance when his nuts are in his face after a huge slam. I don’t care about the road factor, I’m pretty sure Atlanta hates the Hawks more than their opponents at this point. Hammer the Grizz while everyone hates them.
This is my weekly rendition of “Who wants to be a millionare.” I’ve basically never lost a bet this season if you only count my wins. Let’s have a Sunday and make some muthafuckin moneyyyyyyyyyy,

Lakers Electrocute OKC Thunder
Goooooooooooooood morning Laker nation (it’s not morning anymore). How does it feel? How does it feel waking up on this sweet sweet Saturday morning knowing that the Los Angeles Lakers are FINALLY a .500 basketball team. Get ready LA, it’s time to start prepping for the ring ceremony in October.
(I started this blog before this tweet, great minds think alike) March 24th was a must-win game. Both the Lakers and Thunder sat one game under .500 and were matched up in a duel for first place. D’Angelo Russell was out. I had little to no hope. Must-win game + DLo out + haven’t been .500 all year = ADisappointing game from ADisney.
Would he suddenly decide to show up when it matters most? I wasn’t convinced. The only things I knew for certain: Austin Reaves would play sound, fundamental basketball, and Malik Beasley would do his best to smash a hole through the backboard. Well, it’s time to officially declare this blog an apology to Anthony Davis. You did it big guy, you came through for the purple and gold when we needed you. Cheers to you Anthony, you earned this celebratory post on the ArmchairExperts.blog.
It also sounds like Lebron James is getting close to making his return to the hardwood (no homo). We haven’t seen him since the Mavs started their Embarrassment Tour by blowing a 27-point lead on national TV. Once the GOAT is back, we’re just going to have to hope and pray the fraud-goat, Michael Jordan, doesn’t pay more NBA players to dive into Lebron’s kneecaps. As long as that tomfoolery doesn’t happen, the Lakers are practically a lock for the Finals. The entire city of Golden State just threw up everywhere. Enjoy the taste of your unloaded intestines, clowns.
The Rob Pelinka revenge tour is upon us, here we come.
Here we fuckin come.

Austin Reaves Powers Lakers Past Suns
Uh oh. Watch out NBA, it looks like we might have a new baby GOAT on our hands. The nation’s favorite new white boy has taken the league by storm over the last few weeks. He dropped 35 a few days ago, and last night went for 25 points and 11 assists as he embarassed Devin Booker and the Suns on national television. He keeps this up, he just might find himself in the MVP conversation soon.
I had absolutley no hope for the Lakers to win that game last night. It was very close to a must-win, so I penciled in about 13 points for Anthony Davis. For a while, it looked like he was going to be his usual sluggish self. Then, as soon as he saw White Lightning striking down the Suns with deceptive quickness and perfect fudnamentals, he started to get a little pep in his step. When you have an idol as inspring as Reaves, it’s hard to not be inspired. You could see in real time the team rallying around him as the game went on. He’s just the type of guy that makes everyone around him better, a 10x-er, someone that his teammates would be willing to die for. I’d definitely give my life for him right now. I can’t think of anyone in my life I love more than him right now.
Reaves has singlehandedly managed to hold the entire weight of the Laker’s franchise on his underdeveloped shoulders. What he lacks in mass and definition, he makes up for with heart and determination. That’s a winning combo that I’ll take every day of the week. I’d rather be short and scrawny with a heart of gold than 7 feet with one unibrow and a desire burning with a heat equivilant to a cheap birthday candle. That comment wasn’t aimed at anyone in particular.
I don’t want to do it, but my hopes of a 5th ring for LeBron have started tingling ever so slightly. If these idiots can just make it into the playoffs, I’d like to see how far the duo of LeBron and Reaves can go in the playoffs. Those superstars have a nice supporting cast with DLo, Jared Vanderbilt, ADisney, and others. How many other teams are boasting a top 2 guys that talented? I’ll tell you how many: 0. Certainly not the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Austin Reaves has Michael Jordan shaking in his boots. MJ has done everything he can to stop Lebron, but he might have met his match with this one. I bet Austin would have been the best competition Michael Jordan ever faced had he played back then.
Fear us.

Lakers Playoff Hopes Dwindling
It brings me great sadness to be writing this blog today. I thought we had it. I thought we fucking had it. The chances at the 6 seed were looking so promising, with a stretch against the Knicks, Mavs (without Luka), Rockets, and Magic coming up. I would say even without Lebron, the Lakers should only drop maybe 1 of those games. Well, thanks to the Big Disappointment, Anthony Davis, we managed to lose 3/4. Way to go big guy, you’re doing the damn thing.
If I were Lebron James, I would cut Anthony Davis immediately. He’s just the fucking worst sometimes. Good enough to give the fanbase hope, only to not give a fuck in the biggest moments, and we’ve got to be just about sick of it. At least if we cut the guy, the Lakers would KNOW they stand no chance and we wouldn’t be left feeling crushed afterward. As basketball legend, Zendaya once said, “expect disappointment, and you’ll never be disappointed.” Thank you for your wise words Zendaya, may they ring through my ears for the rest of this season.
As for the rest of the Lakers? I didn’t expect much else. Malik Beasley did what all good shooters do once they get to Lebron’s team: forget the fundamentals of the game and give a mighty effort to construct Trump’s wall brick by brick. D’Angelo Russell has been fine, if you know what to expect from him. There seems to be a weird group of people with a DLo > Kyrie take, which always makes me chuckle. At least DLo doesn’t blow up teams from the inside, so long as none of the players are having affairs while he’s there. The big bonus so far has been the unbelievabley-white guy Austin Reaves. I’ve never seen someone so pale and milky, but if you can get past that he’s not that bad. He posted a career-high 35 points against the Magic the other day, thank God. If not for him, LA would’ve suffered another loss at the hands of Anthony Davis, who only had like 15 points in a must-win game. I almost poured acid on my eyes so I didn’t have to watch anymore. Mercy blindness.
Basically, it’s going to be really fucking hard to avoid the Play-In at this point. Phoenix is coming up on Wednesday and there’s no way they win that one. I think the schedule takes a nice dip again after that, but I will not be fooled again. I now expect a nice 10-15 points and 8 rebounds from the Lakers “superstar.” If General Reavous doesn’t use the force to score 30+, go ahead and wrap it up. Just remember Zendaya.
Fuck you Anthony Davis, you one-eyebrowed coward.

Dallas Cowboys Trade for Brandin Cooks!
Whoop whoop it looks like we have anudder trade down in D-town. The Cowboys have sent a 2023 5th and 2024 6th in exchange for WR Brandin Cooks. My reaction: Let’s go Brandon!
I’m not going to be one of those losers that pretends they’ve watched any Texans games over the last few years, they’re so ass it’s painful. Cooks also didn’t play against Dallas this year, so I don’t have any anecdotal data to go off. However that’s never stopped me from giving my deep expert analysis! I fuck with this move, personally. Obviously it would have been cooler/sexier to add Deandre Hopkins, but the price of contract + picks + his age may not have been TOTALLY worth it at this point. Still, if he only goes for a 2nd round pick, I’ll wish we had done that deep down. Nevertheless, Cooks is still an upgrade and I’m glad Jerry seems to have a pulse again.
While I like this move, I still can’t help but look at the past moves and get salty. Big picture, we pretty much swapped Amari Cooper for Brandin Cooks. I would say Coop is the better player, so our core still won’t be on the level of 2021. Imagine if we had just NOT traded Amari for a 5th round pick, let Gallup walk, and added Cooks. The law firm of Ceedee, Cooks, and Cooper would be a DAMN good WR core. Lots of speed and no one coming off an ACL tear. I still wouldn’t mind testing the waters on the market for Michael Gallup. I bet it’s nonexistent but if we could package him + a 4th or a 5th or whatever picks we have left for a star player, I’d love that. It doesn’t even have to be a WR. We need interior DL and OL help right now, so we could just trade for one and draft WR with our first pick. Right now the Cowboys share a lot in common with Simone Biles: flexibility. That’s why these past few moves have been so great, we still kept our top 3 picks, and have no glaring weaknesses. We can allocate those resources to attaining the best possible players without worrying about positional need.
Coincidence? My biggest takeaway from this offseason is that I hope we’ll continue to run our team like this moving forward. Being strategically aggressive in the offseason CONTINUOUSLY will lead to better results over time. A one-off offseason of good moves likely won’t lead to much. I’m not sure we have any more trades left in us, and I don’t even know whose available in free agnency. Overall, it’s been a nice offseason for The Boys and I refuse to complain any more than I have. I will NOT stop complaining about our head coach who doesn’t want to score points. I wonder if he’ll even use Brandin Cooks, since that would mean we have to install the forward pass in our playbook.
2023 just might be our year.

March Madness Has ARRIVED
One of the best months of the year is officially in full go. March is easily a top 5 month, mostly because of its versatility. We’ve got the end of winter/start of spring, spring break, St. Patty’s Day, the color green, Alexandra Daddario’s birthday, and most importantly the NCAA March Madness tournament. God I love March.
Today was the first day of the Big Dance and it has not disappointed. We’ve already been blessed with a 2 seed losing (nice one Arizona) and a dramatic game-winning shot after a bone-headed play.
Let’s start with the game of the day: The Furman GOATS vs. the Virginia Vaginas. This was such a classic March Madness game. Classic college basketball where every shot is a prayer. The 4-seed Vaginas probably took Furman a little too likely and before they knew it they were stuck in a tight game with a minute left. Surely they wouldn’t fuck up right? Well of course they did! It’s like these guys can just smell it in the air. Something takes over their bodies and forces concoct the most dramatic plays/finishes imaginable. In this case, we had the “winningest player in ACC history” just chuck the ball to absolutely no one at half-court. He set up the game-winning shot perfectly for Furman. There was no doubt in my mind that the shot was going in, and when it did I yelped from my cubicle. It was exhilarating.
Later in the day, we had Arizona be the first top seed to just blow it. I’ve been on that side as a fan it’s such a shitty feeling. The rest of the tournament is barely even fun anymore, it’s so hard to rally back from a first-round choke. They lost to a bunch of Princeton nerds too, which makes it even more embarrassing. It was the classic tale of the dorks vs. the jocks and I guess the dorks take this round. It was rumored that Princeton’s team is throwing a massive celebration hosting a calculus study hall. A bunch of studs is about to get their little calculators wet for the first time. As a virgin myself, I’m thrilled for those guys. Congratulations boys, you earned this.
Nice one Joe Right now I’m watching 4-seed Tennessee struggle in an early dogfight against the School of the Deaf. I just love watching the superior teams struggle and get frustrated. I’ll never understand why it happens but every year these teams just can’t help but collapse. It also looks like 1-seed Houston is in a close game early with the School of the Blind. I hope they blow it.
That caps off the highlights from Day 1. I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight in anticipation for Day 2.

Dallas Cowboys Trade for Stephon Gilmore!!
Let’s fucking GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I could not believe my eyes when I opened Twitter to the news that Stephon Gilmore was now a Dallas Cowboy, for the low price of a 5th round pick, nice! I wish we could trade all our 5th round picks for guys of this caliber. Once again, it really just doesn’t seem that hard.
Jerry Jones finally let his old wrinkly balls hang and did something worth a damn. Even if Gilmore isn’t the elite corner he once was, it’s unlikely we’d draft someone just as good or better with the 5th we gave up. I don’t understand why all teams aren’t just more aggressive in trades. I’d rather go out swinging than sit limp dick and run it back with the same guys. Unfortunately, no matter how many trades we make, we can’t cure the true cancer of this team: obesity. As long as that watermelon of an HC is still in charge, I don’t see us hoisting the Lombardi. How can our guys be inspired to play hard for 4 quarters when their leader is gasping for air just by running out of the tunnel (if he can even run)?
My pickle started wiggling a little bit the more I thought about our new secondary. Trevon Diggs, Stephon Gilmore, and Daron Bland at corner, while returning our safety trio of Kearse, Hooker, and Dono Wilson (who we also signed back, nice). That’s a damn good group, especially for a team that is notorious for below-average secondaries. This is got to be the best one I can remember in my lifetime, at least on paper.
Our next two biggest needs are WR and interior DL. I don’t necessarily think Deandre Hopkins is the best fit for us since we have a need for speed, but he’s definitley better than what he got. Why can’t we just piss away another 3rd round pick or something, since that seems to be the market for All-Pros these days. We better nail this draft. It seems like we might go OL with our pick, which is boring but I don’t hate. Elite play in the trenches is the key to victory in the NFL. If we beef up those units, I like our chances.
What a day man, what a fucking day! The question now must be asked: does Jerry Jones read the Armchair Experts? I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I’ve started cyber-bullying him and we get aggressive out of nowhere. He’s clearly feeling the pressure and is starting to hustle a little out of fear. Well, we’ve still got trades to make buddy so I’m not going to stop now. Go get the other Stefon you pruny washed up hag. I know our bean bag HC doesn’t want to “light up the scoreboard” anymore but deep down I know that’s not your style. If our WR core doesn’t improve DRAMATICALLY, we are still fucked, Jerry. Take my advice and let’s go win the goddamn Super Bowl.
Cowboys forever

Player Prop Locks 3/14
Well folks, we had a shitty day yesterday, but I blame all of that on Dillon Brooks. Going 2/9 is only something Dillon Brooks would do and I’m ashamed to be in the same category as his bum ass. Let’s move on and keep fighting today. I don’t think I’ve ever been more confident in a slate of picks.
Shai Gilgeous-Aleexander O 31.5 Points
- Do I have much to say about this one? Absolutely fucking not. Shai is HIM, HIMothy, and the mayor of OKC, that will never change. Who can guard Shai on Brooklyn tonight? Absolutely fucking no one. Who can guard Shai across the entire league? Absolutely fucking no one. Why would anyone put money on this man going under? No fucking clue. I’m only giving stats because I have to. He’s hit this in his last 5 games. Hammer the over and thank me tomorrow.
Kelly Oubre O 21 Points
- It seems that every time I bet on Kelly Oubre to go over, he goes under. I then take a break for 3 games and he goes over in every single one. I’ve had enough of this bullshit. He’s hit this in 3/L5 and I can’t see myself ever taking his under. They played Cleveland two nights ago and he went for 27. Give me the over and all of my coin back that I’ve lost on this inconsistent bum.
Jalen Williams (J-DUB) O 3 Assists
- ROOKIE OF THE YEAR! This man continues to impress me each and every night. The guy is just an all around great basketball player. He’s been on an insane scoring streak averaging 20 ppg over the last 5 games. However, I don’t see this lasting too much longer. Since he’s been piling on the points, he’s also been passing the ball tremendously. Averaging 5 assists per game over the last 5. I’m scared about his 15.5 point prop, so I’m staying away. Whether he struggles with scoring or not, I believe his assists numbers will stay the same, and on a bad shooting night, could be increased. Give me the over and let’s fucking ride.
Nikola Jokic O 19.5 Points
- Folks, it’s Taco mothafuckin’ Tuesday. This free taco play is 5 points lower than his original average. I am a little nervous about this play, considering he only scored 18 vs Toronto last week and they play them tonight on the road. However, he’s had 30 plus in his last 2 games. I’m going to take it because it’s free points, but I won’t be surprised if the fraudulent center somehow fucks this up. Please Jokic, it’s Taco Tuesday man. Bring us the coin.
Chris Paul O 4.5 Rebounds
- How can someone of Chris Paul’s size grab so many rebounds against the Goliath Bucks? Great question. To be honest, I have no fucking clue how he rebounds so much. However, I am very confident in this play tonight. He grabbed 6 last game vs. the Bucks and has averaged 5-6 a game over the last 8 games. Chris has been piling up the assists and even hitting the over on his scoring recently. I expect him to be aggressive tonight and grab 5 boards vs the Bucks. Please CP3 all we need is 5!!!!
Jarred Vanderbilt O 1 Steal
- Well, well, well… what do we have here?? Tommy Smokes’ favorite basketball player currently. I don’t think people understand the efficiency that Vanderbilt has on a nightly basis. He could potentially single handedly win a championship for the Lakers. He can’t score for shit, but man does he fly around like a fucking chicken with his head cut off. He’s had a combined 7 steals over the last 3 games played vs the Pelicans. It’s been almost 8 games since he hasn’t had at least 1 steal! I don’t care if we push this bet, but I think he goes over this tonight. Doesn’t underestimate Jarred Vanderbilt, our modern day Michael Jordan.
Malik Beasley U 16.5 Points, Rebounds, and Assists
- I’m not even going to begin to explain how much money I’ve lost on this bum ass shooter. Do we even call him a shooter anymore? He’s gone 7-28 from deep in his last 5 games… HOLY SHIT!!! This guy is cheeks!!! With Russell back in the lineup, his minutes have decreased from 30 plus to under 25. Again, with Russell back, and role players such as Rui, Reaves, and Vanderbilt coming up big over the last 5 games, there’s absolutely no way that he’ll be in position to pass the ball or rebound. He’s gone under this prop in 8/L10 and had a 15 PRA at home vs the Pelicans. Oh, I almost forgot, this dude sucks on the road. Hammer the under.
Paolo Banchero O 21.5 Points
- The undisputed best rookie we’ve seen in quite some time, other than J-DUB of course. He averages a little over this line of 21.5, but struggled to score against a thrilling win vs Miami last weekend grabbing 17 points. However, he’s been on a tear this March making a last minute push to prove why he’s Rookie of the Year. In March, that includes performances of 26, 26, and 31 over 6 games this month. They’re playing San Antonio tonight, must I say much more? With their athletic forwards Keldon Johnson and Jeremy Sochan listed as OUT for tonight, I see him soaring over this point spread with a huge game. He’s been shooting an average of 2.5 more shots this month, which is something I always love to see. The more shots, the more chances. Hammer the over.
Darius Garland O 25.5 Points
- Last but not least, we move on over to the very first team that Kyrie Irving destroyed, the Cleveland Cavaliers. They will be without Donovan Mitchell AND Jarrett Allen tonight. This alone has me salivating over this prop. The game should be competitive with those injuries and with a spread set out as -7.5 I don’t see his minutes changing at all. With Mitchell and Allen off the court this year, Garland owns a 30.3% usage rate and nets 26.0 points per 36 minutes, according to CourtIQ. That’s a usage-rate bump of 3.2 percentage points. I have him projected to score 26 tonight, which barely covers this line, but I could see him dropping 30 just as easily. Cleveland, this is for you.

Player Prop Picks 3/13
It is my pleasure to present the first Player Prop Sheet to The Armchair Experts. None of these picks are biased and are strictly based off of statistics and knowledge of the NBA and players rhythms. Let’s fucking ride. We’re going 9/9 tonight.
Killian Hayes O 14.5 Points
- Over 5 key players for Pistons are out tonight. Killian will play 34+ minutes tonight while Buddy Hield and Haliburton may possibly be out. This allows him time and room to score tonight. Someone has to score for Detroit. He scored 17 last game in this same situation.
De’aron Fox U 25.5 Points
- The Bucks have a great defense and holds star players to an average of 23 ppg. He will be meeting Jrue Holiday, who defends points guards better than anyone in the league, as well as having to get through Brook Lopez who limits point guards drives and finishes to the basket. He scored 15 in their last meeting.
Jayson Tatum O 29.5 Points
- Tatum has hit this line in 4/L4. He also scores in bunches when playing bad defenses. The Rockets have THE worst defense in the league and their should be many opportunities for him to hit this. He scored 38 when they last played this season. However, be aware that the spread is massive and this could be a blowout, limiting his playing time.
Dillon Brooks U 14.5 Points
- I don’t have to say much for this dude right here. I cannot fucking stand his stupidity and idiocy on and off the court. This bum ass player will never win a championship. He has the loudest mouth in the league right now and has been chirping all of the superstars in the league. He plays Dallas tonight and has only hit this line in 1/L5. Let me say, he hit the over on the one game I hammered his under. Fuck you Dillon Brooks, it’s time to bring the coin back home. He’s talked shit to Luka and Kyrie all this week. I don’t think he can back that up, and I expect them to lock his loud ass up. Either way, there’s no possible way that I would want to put my own money on Dillon Brooks hitting the over. Cash it.
Chris Paul O 10 Assists
- Chris Paul has been averaging 9 assists this season as well as 9 assists vs Golden State throughout his career. However, the Warriors defense is not valid this year at all. I think this is the biggest lock on this page. He’s going to get many opportunities to go over this line, and I expect the game to be close with the absence of KD and Steph back in the lineup for the Warriors. He’s hit this line in 4/L5.
Jaren Jackson O 20.5 Points
- JJJ has been the Grizzlies leading scorer since the absence of Ja Morant. He’s been averaging 21 ppg and almost 19% more shot attempts. He struggled last game, going 25% shooting from the field. However, his free throw attempts per game are now up to about 9 free throws a game. This is 4 more than he was averaging with Ja Morant on the floor. Dallas has one of the worst post presences defensively in the league with Dwight Powell and Christian Wood. I don’t think they’ll be able to hold him off the free throw line and I expect him to bounce back after a rough shooting performance last game.
Josh Okogie O 1.5 Three’s Made
- One of the main breakout players for the suns this season considering all of the injuries they’ve dealt with, especially Kevin Durant. With KD out tonight with an ankle injury, Okogie will get a lot of minutes. Expect him to play 32+ minutes tonight with a plethora of chances to go over this line considering Golden States defense giving up the 5th most three pointers to opposing teams. He hit 3 last game and played 34 minutes. Expect him to go over this line today.
Steph Curry O 28.5 Points
- Steph Curry is finally getting his rhythm back after being out for a few months. They play Phoenix tonight and I expect this to be a battle of a game. He’s hit this in 3/L4 games since being injured and has been shooting an average of 12 three pointers per game. He’s going to get his shots up and I expect him to go over this line tonight.
Tyus Jones O 7.5 Assists
- Tyus has been averaging a little bit over 15 assist attempts since Ja Morant’s absence and is averaging 9 assists through this time period as well. He’s practically running the show offensively and spacing the floor as needed without Ja. He’s hit this in 3/L4 since Ja has been out. They played Dallas 2 days ago, and he hit 10 assists. I really like the over 7.5 here tonight and I expect him to have a strong night in this category.
The Armchair Experts
