My Memory Isn't What It Used To Be. Picks 1/21

I forgot to do a picks blog yesterday. No reason besides I was tired and forgot. So we have to go back to Friday for results.
I also forgot to note which games were not at 1.90 odds. Oops. Gonna treat all of them as such because I don't feel like going back and trying to figure it out.

Just barely on the right side of 50%. I'll take it. Some interesting games and some close hits, some close misses too. It's the nature of the game.

Another big night in the NBA tonight.

The Games 1/21 Odds are 1.90 unless otherwise noted

Miami (+6.0) over Charlotte. Miami has been on a lengthy road trip but I trust Bosh and Hassan Whiteside(?) to beat the Hornets, or keep it close. I'm also banking on the Hornets having a down game, a risky move but it could work.

Philadelphia (+2.0) over New York. In the battle of futility, I pick the 76ers to win. Philly has a better record, but New York has the better team (not that it's helped them).

Cleveland (-10.0) over Utah. Cleveland has played better as of late. That's it.

Atlanta (-11.0) over Indiana. This winning streak has to end at some point, and 11 is a lot, but Indian a has been less competitive recently.

Orlando (+8.0) over Detroit. Picking the Magic to keep it close, not to win.

Dallas (-9.0) over Minnesota. I feel like Dallas is going to dominate this game. I always assume that when a team plays the Wolves. Because I'm a pessimist.

Los Angeles Lakers (+7.0) over New Orleans. This pick hinges on whether Anthony Davis plays or not. I think he isn't(?) but I admittedly didn't look too hard into it.

Oklahoma City (+1.5) over Washington. I expect Westbrook to go off tonight.

Memphis (-6.0) over Toronto. Toronto played much better the other day. Still not convinced they haven't figured it out.

Portland (+6.5) over Phoenix. Portland should keep it close at the very least.

Brooklyn (+5.5) over Sacramento. I haven't fully considered the fact that the Kings have been playing super poorly since they fired their coach. Brooklyn's not much better and they have to go cross country for it... but it's just a pick.

Golden State (-8.0) over Houston. Game of the night. I expect Golden State to dominate because I always expect them to dominate.

I legitimately don't feel comfortable with any of my picks. Could be a rough night.
