Blue's Thursday Picks

Been a while since posting some picks. Here's a couple. Cheers.

Hawks -6 (-104) 

Hawks have been in great shape as they’ve won seven of their past 11 games and they'll be looking to build on their current three-game win streak after dusting the Suns in an impressive 135-103 home win last night... Definitely didn't expect such a beating. As a team, the Hawks shot a sizzling 63% from the field and 50% from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 42 points in the first quarter, before finishing with a flurry in the fourth quarter where they outscored Phx 38-15. 

Flipside, Indy has lost 4 of their last 5, including 2 straight. In terms of betting trends, the Hawks are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games, 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games against a team with a losing record and 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games overall. While the Pacers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5. 

It's definitely tough to win on the road on 0 days rest but both teams on the end of a b2b and ATL honestly didn't look like they got pushed too much last night as they won pretty comfortably... Also, the Pacers are just wet trash ATS at home. 

Wiz +3 (-109)

Wiz looking to get back to winning as they've shipped 11 of the last 14. While the Raps have lost 5 of the last 7. Backbreaking 1 point loss to the Bucks and on the end of a b2b for the Wizards.

In terms of betting trends, the Wiz are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games and 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games overall.

They've been pretty profitable this year for me and have been head and shoulders better than Toronto. Raptors continue to underachieve, lose games and they're losing their last five games by an average of five points while shooting 48.6 percent from the field. Wrong team is favoured here imo. 

BOL Y'all!

@D-Town

 Thanks bruv, U2! 

Like Atlanta here with 3 days off after this game, shouldn't be any let down with a chance to still get a better seed for the playoffs. Toronto just plays ugly team ball, Washington should win here 

@Yabbo1979

 What is ugly team ball? I follow the Raptors closely and their style of play is all about sharing the ball. On defense, it has been ugly but much better the last 10 games. They lack depth because of all the injuries and Covid over the last 2 months.

 Thanks bruv, U2!

@Mannutd

 Thanks brotha, U2! 

Good news if you got the early line on the wiz. My book has the Wiz at -1.5 now with Lowry and OG out.
