Max’s Sports Bet Picks for 1/5/22
NBA
PHI (-7.5) at ORL (7.5)
Pick: Bet $15 PHI ML
Total: 210.5 (Lean Over – 221)
Predicted Score: PHI 116 – ORL 105
Notes: The Sixers have won 4 games in a row including 3 road games. After a quick stop in Philly two days ago, they hit the road again to sunny Florida to take on a Magic team that have lost 6 in a row.
Orlando is just 2-13 at home this season and at 7-31, wins have been hard to come by.
Statistically, Philly has been an average at best kind of team this season. A lot of that has been a result of Covid cases and injuries.
But they still have a winning record and seem to be clicking right now.
It’s a chalky one so upping the bet today.
$15 moneyline bet on the Sixers.
OKC (8) at MIN (-8)
Pick: Bet $10 OKC ML
Total: 213.5 (Lean Under – 210)
Predicted Score: OKC 104 – MIN 106
Notes: Neither team has found many wins as of late. But last time I moneylined the Thunder it went pretty well so let me take another shot today.
The T-Wolves have been playing without most of their starters lately. KAT and D-Lo are game time decisions for today.
I am factoring them in as playing and even still, I only have Minnesota winning this game by 2 points.
For OKC, it’s hard not to like what Gilgeous-Alexander and Giddey are doing out there. There’s some dynamic young players in this league and OKC has two of them.
The value is definitely on OKC here so I’ll take another shot.
$10 moneyline bet on the Thunder.
Leans

Sports Bet Picks for 1/5/22
St. Louis Blues (116) at Pittsburgh Penguins (-141)
Pick: Bet $10 St. Louis
Notes: The Penguins are one of the hottest teams in hockey and that Covid break doesn’t seem to have slowed them down. They put up 8 goals against the Sharks the other day to win their 8th game in a row.
The Blues are also playing some pretty damn good hockey. After shaking off the brutal cold of an outdoors game in Minnesota, they look to get their 8th win over their last 10 games.
The Blues have navigated Covid issues and enter the game pretty healthy. The Penguins were hit hard with the injury bug but have managed to win no matter what.
And Pittsburgh gets the news today that Tristan Jarry might return to goal for tonight’s game.
These two teams have not played sin 2019. So hard to see how they matchup with each other.
My numbers have St. Louis slightly winning this one so with a plus line, I’ll take a chance.
$10 bet on the Blues.
Edmonton Oilers (180) at Toronto Maple Leafs (-210)
Pick: Lean Toronto
