Jimmy Butler o21.5 points -118 1.18u to win 1u
LA Lakers -7 -110 1.1u to win 1u
First up tonight I like Jimmy Butler to score more than 21.5 points tonight against the Pelicans. These two met last month and in that game Miami won but there was also some bad blood with a fight happening in that one. I didn't see what happened but I do know that Jimmy Butler said in the post game presser that they were going to beat this team again when they meet because they're better. One thing about Jimmy Butler is when he's motivated there's almost no one better at coming up big in these big games. So I like him to really put on a show tonight at home and go over 21.5 points against New Orleans in what should be a pretty competitive game.
Next up I took the Lakers at home to cover 7 against the Sixers. The Lakers are well rested and need this one as they are fighting for playoff position. I continue to fade the Sixers who just aren't the same without Joel Embiid and tonight I think the Lakers will blow them out because they have the matchup advantage inside with no Embiid.
