Warriors closes on Nuggets, along with other best bets for Wednesday

Well, ladies and gentlemen, we only have one more sleep until NFL Draft day. Just think, tonight is the last time you have to watch boring NBA playoffs or hockey and baseball. Instead, it will take you countless hours to see the name read out on the card! Interesting!

OK, I’m being sarcastic, but I like NFL Drafts. I will watch it with NBA Playoff games in the background and I’m fine with that. If anything, it’s a good reason for me to completely ignore the free-falling White Sox for a few days, and I’m going to use any excuse to get off that crazy baseball team right now. Plus, this is one of the more interesting things NFL Drafts in recent memory.

I don’t know what will happen. Nobody does. We can’t be sure who will be first or second choice. Opinions on all prospects vary greatly, and we can see a range of teams wanting a discount but just can’t find someone willing to make the trade-off. That should lead to some wild volatility. I can’t wait, but we have to wait at least another day. However, we can still read about it.

While we wait for the draft, we have two more NBA playoffs left tonight, as well as a lot of baseball games, so let’s figure out some bets while we wait for the Jaguars to do something stupid. .

Golden State Warriors -9

• Main trend: Golden State has covered five of the six most recent meetings.
• Pick: Warriors -8.5 (-110)

Join Gentleman’s Scan! The Warriors had the same chance to end this streak tonight as they had in Game 4, but it’s great that the Warriors gave the Nuggets one last chance to play well against the hosts. Seriously, I’m not saying the Nuggets didn’t deserve to win the game, but given the fact that Denver was able to give the Warriors 126 points after struggling in the first three games of the series, “Warriors didn’t.” trying hard to be defensive” for me.

That will change when they return to The Bay tonight. One thing that didn’t change in Game 4 was Denver’s defense. It still doesn’t exist. Not only do the Nuggets have the worst defensive rating in the knockout stages of 125.4, but they’re also the worst by a significant margin, as Brooklyn is 15th with 119.2 and we’ve seen what happened. with Nets.

I preached in this news that teams that don’t play defensively aren’t worth your trust in the NBA knockouts, and I wanted to thank the teams for being cooperative and making me look like I’m smart. . Warriors should get this done by tonight. While the two games in Denver were close together and were competitive, the first two games of the series in San Francisco were not. The Warriors won the first game with 16 and the second with 20, because they had a real shot rate of 65.8.

I think there’s a chance this game can stay competitive if the Nuggets get off to a good start, but if the Warriors take the lead early we could see “1-2-3, Cancun!” chanting in the Denver locker room at halftime.

Here’s what SportsLine is saying about the game: The projection model also likes tonight’s Warriors, but it’s a bigger fan of a play overall.

Selection

NBA

Bulls in Shove, 7:30 pm | TV: TNT
Option: Bulls Under 102.5 (-115) – I don’t know why they set Total Bulls so high. Maybe they expect Chicago’s reserves to fall relative to Milwaukee’s in the fourth quarter? If you haven’t heard, the Bulls won’t have Zach LaVine after he was included in the league’s health and safety protocols. Nor will they have their best defensive player in Alex Carusosomeone has effectively defended Giannis Antetokounmpo sometimes despite the big difference in size!

So the possibility of the Bulls getting another win in Milwaukee is inevitable. But the good news is that the Bulls’ total is set this high without LaVine, the outside team’s main scorer. DeMar DeRozan. And the Bulls struggled to score with him! I don’t see how they would have progressed without him. The Bulls have averaged 94 points per game in this streak, and the only time they broke 100 was a 114-110 win in Game 2. They have not scored more than 95 points in any of their three losses. mine. Also don’t bet on them doing it tonight.

Main trend: The Bulls have averaged 87.3 points in their three losses in this streak, and just 94 points in this streak.

MLB

The Tigers of the Twins, 7:40pm | TV: MLB.TV

Latest rate:

Detroit Tigers +175

Pick: Tiger (+170) – If you haven’t seen how the Minnesota Twins beat the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night, please click this link and see. No, it has nothing to do with tonight’s pick – at least, not directly – I just think you should watch it because it’s funny. Anytime you can see professional athletes doing the same things a group of handball players do, you have to do it.

Anyway, this newsletter has a lot of principles of “blind underline” in various sports. We’ve taken this approach with NFC East in the NFL and with ACC in college football. We may be taking a similar approach to the AL Hub because no one in the department looks good. The White Sox are favorite heavyweights, but they’ve lost eight in a row and have the worst difference in the segment. The Twins are in first place, but they’re only 9-8 with a spread of +3. Seriously, no one in this department is much better than anyone else, so no one deserves more favor than the rest. We’re putting this principle to the test tonight. Let’s hope the tigers don’t play highball this time.

Main trend: There is no tendency to support this choice. We are visionaries.

SportsChoice of the day: The climax of the night for Projection Models was the big money match between the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics. And if the model isn’t enough for you, SportsLine’s John Bollman plays the same way.
