Monday picks

Five games, six picks.

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

Pacers at WIZARDS 7:05 pm EDT, Timberwolves at NETS 7:35 pm, Heat at KNICKS 7:35 pm, Grizzlies at ROCKETS 8:05 pm, Kings at SPURS 8:35 pm.

3-pointers: None

2-pointers: Jimmy Butler (Heat) double-double +150 (returns $25.00) The Heat and Knicks have played twice this season and Butler has doubled each game. The Heat need this game bad.

Jakob Poeltl (spurs) Over 10.5 points +105 (returns $20.50) Poeltl has been getting more minutes and scoring more points. In the last two games he's gone for 11 and 20. Eleven will be fine.

Russell Westbrook (Wizards) Over 10.5 rebounds +100 (returns $20.00) Westbrook has gone over 10 rebounds in five of his last 6 games.

Free throws: Kevin Porter Jr. (Rockets) Over 16.5 points -102 (returns $19.80) Porter and Wall are going to be a speedy, careless backcourt, but when Porter has played, he's scored.

KNICKS +4.5 Over HEAT -107 (returns $19.20) The Knicks have the better record, the Knicks are home, the Heat have narrowly beaten the Knicks twice. It's payback time: If Julius Randle plays!

Steals: Karl-Anthony Towns (T-Wolves) Over 25.5 points -113 (returns $18.90) What concerns me is the game becoming a blowout. If it stays within reason, KAT should be two mobile for DeAndre Jordan and too strong for Nic Claxton.

Sunday Results

Winners:

Free throws: Suns at HORNETS Under 219.5 -109 (returns $19.20) My matinee theory paid off as the Suns won 101-97 = 198, in overtime.

Steals: Pascal Siakam (Raptors) Over 33.5 points, rebounds, assists -113 (returns $18.90) Siakam went for 26-8-2 = 36 in a 122-117 Raptors loss to the the Trail Blazers.

Losers:

2-pointers: Nikola Jokic (Nuggets) Over 8.5 assists +108 (returns $20.80) Jokic had 7 assists AT THE HALF! He ended up with 8, playing only 28 minutes and none of the 4th quarter in a 126-102 Nuggets drubbing of the Hawks.
