Max’s NBA Bet Picks for 2/10/21

I was 4-3 on my picks but 2-0 on my bets. Stayed in the black for at least one more day.

 

Charlotte (4) at Memphis (-4)

Pick: Bet $20 Charlotte

Total: 226 (Lean Under – 221)

Predicted Score: Charlotte 111 – Memphis 110

Overview: The Grizzlies were unbeatable. Until they weren’t. Now they have lost 4 in a row and host a dangerous Hornets team. Charlotte is coming off a big win over Houston two days ago. A game that saw Lamelo Ball go for 24 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists. That included seven 3-pointers – which makes him 21 for 40 from three over his last six games.

Memphis has struggled mightily their last few games and in general, hasn’t been a good home team. Their effective field goal % is 4% lower at home than on the road – while Charlotte’s is about a point better on the road than at home.

I have Charlotte outright winning this one but I will take the points and bet $20 on the Hornets.

 

Atlanta (4) at Dallas (-4)

Pick: Bet $20 Atlanta

Total: 233 (Lean Under – 226)

Predicted Score: Atlanta 115 – Dallas 111

Overview: Both teams entered the season with high hopes that their young stars would push them to the playoffs. Right now, neither team has that trajectory though Dallas has managed to win 3 of 5 games. That includes 2 home games that improved their home record to 4-7 on the year.

Playing at home in Dallas this season has not been great for them. Their offensive and defensive metrics are worse at home than on the road. Atlanta happens to be a slightly better team on the road than at home. Atlanta hasn’t played in 4 days while Dallas played two games in that stretch. So the Hawks might be a little fresher.

I’m going to bet $20 on the Hawks.

 

Indiana (2.5) at Brooklyn (-2.5)

Pick: Lean Brooklyn

Total: 234.5 (Lean Under – 233)

Predicted Score: Brooklyn 118 – Indiana 115

 

Toronto (-5.5) at Washington (5.5)

Pick: Lean Washington

Total: 229.5 (Lean Over – 231)

Predicted Score: Toronto 116 – Washington 115

 

LA Clippers (-8.5) at Minnesota (8.5)

Pick: Lean Minnesota

Total: 226.5 (Lean Under – 220)

Predicted Score: LA Clippers 111 – Minnesota 109

 

New Orleans (-3) at Chicago (3)

Pick: Lean Chicago

Total: 230 (Lean Under – 226)

Predicted Score: Chicago 115 – New Orleans 111

 

Cleveland (9.5) at Denver (-9.5)

Pick: Lean Cleveland

Total: 223 (Lean Under – 221)

Predicted Score: Denver 114 – Cleveland 107

 

Oklahoma City (12.5) at LA Lakers (-12.5)

Pick: Lean Oklahoma City

Total: 218.5 (Lean Over – 221)

Predicted Score: LA Lakers 115 – Oklahoma City 106

 

Milwaukee (-5) at Phoenix (5)

Pick: Lean Milwaukee

Total: 225.5 (Lean Under – 224)

Predicted Score: Milwaukee 115 – Phoenix 109

 

Max’s Salty NHL Bets for 2/10/21

The Philly game was postponed because of COVID issues so my lone bet was cancelled out. But I was 5-2 on my other picks. That puts me at 112-74 (60%) in my season picks and 30-22 in bets (up $122 in base $20 bets).

Boston Bruins (-150) at New York Rangers (135)

Pick: Lean New York

Notes: The value is with New York but Boston is a scary team. I posted in the social Degeneracy posts about their metrics. Basically, their PDO is the 3rd lowest in the league yet they are 8-1. Scary.

 

Toronto Maple Leafs (-105) at Montreal Canadiens (-105)

Pick: Bet Toronto

Notes: This should be a fun one. I like Toronto’s advanced metrics a bit better than Montreal’s but the Canadiens are just starting to get into a groove. So I expect to see some positive regression for them.
