Thursday picks

Four games, four picks.

All wagers and returns based on $10. Please check game time lineups before wagering.

Wizards at KNICKS 7:35 pm EDT, Trail Blazers at HEAT 7:35 pm, Sixers at LAKERS 10:05 pm, Warriors at KINGS 10:05 pm.

3-pointers: Ben Simmons (Sixers) triple-double +900 (returns $100.00) Simmons has had two triple-doubles this season. One was against the Bucks and the other was against a Lakers team that had Lebron, AD and Gasol. At +900, it's a risk I'm willing to take.

KINGS -3 Over Warriors and Under 226.5 +260 (returns $36.00) With Steph Curry out the Warriors haven't been scoring much and the Kings have recently started playing a little defense.

2-pointers: None

Free throws: Trail Blazers vs Heat Over 217.5 -112 (returns $19.00) The Trail Blazers score and give up points. The Heat don't give up a lot of points and their offense has struggled. Playing against the Blazers may help that.

Steals: Julius Randle (Knicks) Over 5.5 assists -118 (returns $18.50) Randle averages 6 assists per game, is playing a Wizards team that pushes pace and is coming off a game where he his 7 threes, leading me to think he may be looking to pass a little more..

Wednesday Results

Winners:

2-pointers: JAZZ Over Nets And Under 231 +125 (returns $22.50). Harden sat and the Jazz won 118-88 = 206.

Losers:

3-pointers: MAGIC +9.5 Over Suns and Under 216 +255 (returns $35.50) I had a feeling about the Magic last night, in what may turn out to be the team's swan song. Unfortunately that feeling did not extend to a 223 point total in a 112-111 Magic win.

John Collins (Hawks) double-double +275 (returns $37.50) Collins went for 10 and 8 as the Hawks lost to the Kings 110-108..

2-pointers: Mike Conley (Jazz) Over 5.5 assists +102 (returns $20.20) Conley averages 5.5 assists but had only 2 last night.
