Personal Play: April 26th

5-1 this week!! Let’s Keep it Rolling Tonight!! Some injury concerns for both of these games. So I’m going to give you 2 picks. Check before gametime to see if the teams are healthy before making your selection.

Personal Play:

NBA:

Houston Rockets @ Golden State Warriors 8:30pm EST

The Houston Rockets tied this series up at 1 game a piece in their last matchup. Now these teams travel to San Francisco to play game 3. In this one, I am very high on the Warriors, for the fact, they have the best player in this series. And that is Stephen Curry. He is the greatest shooter this game has ever seen. And in big games I don’t like betting against players like Steph. The Rockets are the more healthy team though. They are very good defensively and at home their roll players played very well. But now they have to do that on the road. I expect a better game from Fred VanVleet but still I think if Jimmy Butler plays for the Warriors, they will win this game. Now this is a big caveat. If Butler is a no go, I will not be putting a unit on this game, and would probably only bet it, if they went down early and I could get it at a better price. Still, I can’t go against Golden State here, back home.

1 Unit Play: Warriors -3, if Butler plays

LEAN:

NBA:

Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Clippers 6:00pm EST

Now in this game I am looking at couple factors. Number 1 is injuries. Westbrook and Porter Jr looked banged up in this one. If they don’t play, it will be tough for the Nuggets to stay in this one. But nonetheless I have to look at these teams, and I see a strong advantage for the Nuggets, with Jokic. I expect Jokic, Murray, and Gordon to have good games tonight. If they want to win this one, those 3 will need to produce on offense. Defensively they haven’t been bad but haven’t been great. If they pick up the intensity on the defensive end I think they can steal one here. I’m still going to ride with the spread though.

1/2 Unit Lean: Nuggets +7
