3* Under 231.5 (-110) GS/WAS

It's easy to think offense with so many great scorers in this matchup. That's why the total is set so high. The opener is the highest total of the season for both the Wizards and Warriors. It's set too high in my view. I understand, though, why the oddsmaker has to set such a high over/under here. The Warriors have been more about offense. Their defense has slipped. The Wizards are perceived as far more of an offensive team than defensive one. Golden State is surrendering 113.6 points a game this season. That's nine more points per game than they allowed last season. This hasn't escaped the attention of Steve Kerr and Draymond Green. Kerr criticized his team's execution and Green, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, ripped the Warriors for their horrible defense. The Warriors rank 25th defensively and 18th in defensive field goal pecentage. Last year, the Warriors were No. 1 in defensive field goal percentage and 3-point defensive percentage. Improvement on the defensive end is coming - and I see it occurring starting now. The Wizards' main strength is a high-scoring backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal. Wall, though, is in a shooting slump hitting just 10-of-35 shots from the field in his last two games. Washington ranks third-from-the-bottom in 3-point shooting. So the Wizards are going to have to earn a fair share of their points inside, which is tough to do against Golden State. If you play Rotisserie basketball like I do, you'll know that Kevin Durant leads the NBA in shot-block percentage averaging three a game. Green is a defensive monster. This is the third of the Wizards' four-game road trip. The Wizards entered their road swing emphasizing playing stronger defense. They did that in their last game holding the Lakers - a top-10 scoring team - to 92 points in regulation. The Wizards, however, lost that game, 102-99, in overtime two days ago. The Wizards might have got caught peeking ahead to this matchup against the world champs. So Washington's intensity should be way up, too.


2* OKL Thunder -120

I expect Jimmy Butler to play. The Timberwolves have been awful without him. But they haven't been that good with him either. Minnesota didn't play defense last season and there hasn't been any improvement this season. The Timberwolves are last in defensive field goal percentage and 26th in scoring defense. The Thunder, on the other hand, are strong defensively. Each team has stars, but only Oklahoma City plays good defense. This also is short revenge for the Thunder. They where stunned by the Timberwolves at home this past Sunday when Andrew Wiggins hit a long 3-point at the buzzer. That game was poorly officiated with a number of key decisions going against the Thunder at the end. Maybe the Timberwolves will get their act straighten out now that they've upgraded their talent level. But right now the Thunder are the better team and they are going to be highly motivated.


2* OVER 5.5 (-118) Senators /Devils NHL
Ottawa has scored 17 goals in its last four games. One of these games was a 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils eight days ago. The Devils have been a much higher scoring team than anticipated. They've gone over the total in five of their last seven games. The Devils had a season-high 46 shots in their 5-4 win against the Senators. Cory Schneider isn't ready yet to play, so backup goalie Keith Kinkaid will be in net for New Jersey.


2* LA Dodgers +124
Houston is tough at home. But I'll take this plus price with the Dodgers, who have the better starting pitcher and bullpen. LA has followed each of its last four losses with a victory. The Dodgers also are 5-1 in their last six road games. The Dodgers picked up Yu Darvish for just such a spot here. Darvish has come through when the Dodgers have needed him most giving up only two runs during his last five starts spanning 30 2/3 inings. He's struck out 35 during this time frame while giving up a combined 19 htis and walks. Darvish knows how to pitch at Minute Maid Park with a lifetime mark of 4-1 and 2.16 ERA with a 0.74 WHIP in six career games there. Current Astros are batting just a combined .190 against Darvich. The Astros are the more powerful team, but the roof is going to be closed reducing Houston's power. Houston is pitching Lance McCullers. The Astros have lost eight of the last nine times McCullers has started.

Sorry guys, Miami may have been the worst call I have ever made. They looked uninspired from the start. Tonight we get back on track. This is going to be another moneymaking weekend for us. Thanks and goodluck.
