Today we have 3 teams that made the playoffs last year who have lost 2 games in a row and looking for a home win. Clippers, Rockets, and Wizards will all be playing desperate to break the skid and get a much needed win however, only 2 of them are in favorable spots. The Rockets and Wizards are both in great spots here. Houston got smacked in Denver last night as Ty Lawson returned to Denver to face his former team but went 0-7 for 0 points in 34 minutes. When the person leading your offense is that unfocused, it’s tough to win on the road. I expect them to take care of business against Dallas who struggled to put the Lakers away of all teams. The Wizards I also like as they lost 3 games in a row, all by 15+ points. However 2 of those games were on the road against Boston and Atlanta, 1 good team 1 very good team, and at home against Thunder – another very good team. I expect them to bounce back here at home against a weaker opponent.
The 3rd
team we will fade. The Clippers are desperate for a win but it’s a very bad
spot for them. They will be once again without Chris Paul, one of the most underrated
PG’s in the league, and JJ Redick. Leaving Austin Rivers and Pablo Prigioni
leading their backcourt. They also have a home game against their most hated
rival Warriors on deck. Also they will be playing a Pistons team who are themselves
off 2 straight losses now with 2 days’ rest. The Pistons went 8-3 ATS with 2
days rest since start of last year. I expect Stan Van Gundy to have a good game
plan with the added rest against a depleted Clips team.
- Pistons +3.5 (1.5x)
- Rockets -5 (2x)
- Wizards -5.5 (2x)
