NBA | Cavs vs Hornets
Play on: Cavs +1 -103 at 5Dimes
Free Pick on Cavs +
I'm recommending a play on the Cavs at basically a pick'em in Wednesday's game at Charlotte. Cleveland had their 5-game winning streak snapped in an ugly 79-98 loss at Miami last night. The fact that the Cavs are off such a bad showing, playing on no rest and likely without Kevin Love, are all factors that I believe have the Hornets getting way too much respect.
Charlotte is technically still alive for a playoff spot, but the chances of them sneaking in are slim to none. The Hornets would basically need to win out and have either the Heat or Bucks lose all of their remaining games. That's just not going to happen. Charlotte has won 4 straight, which is great, but let's not overlook who those wins came against. The Hornets 4-game winning streak has come against the Nets, Grizzlies, Mavs and Knicks, 4 teams who have been out of the playoff picture for quite some time.
While the Cavs are in the 2nd game of a back-to-back, Charlotte is playing for the 8th time in the last 14 days. The Hornets are a mere 2-13 ATS this season when playing 8 games in 14 days. They are also a mere 5-19 ATS in their last 24 after covering 3 of their last 4 and 4-11-1 ATS in their last 16 vs a team with a winning record. Take Cleveland!

NBA | Blazers vs Grizzlies
Play on: Grizzlies +6 -103 at 5Dimes
Jack’s Free Pick Wednesday: Memphis Grizzlies +6
The Portland Trail Blazers are in a tough spot tonight. They will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back and their 3rd road game in 4 days after a grueling 107-103 win in New Orleans last night. They had just beaten the Thunder 108-105 in another narrow win two nights before. They won’t have much left in the tank for Memphis tonight.
That’s especially the case now that Damian Lillard has been ruled out for personal reasons. Not to mention, fellow starter Maurice Harkless is also out with a knee injury. So they are short-handed right now, which will only add to the fatigue.
Memphis has had some ugly performances of late, but they are healthy enough to compete with a Portland team missing two starters. And the Grizzlies showed last time out that they haven’t completely packed it in, upsetting Minnesota 101-93 as 13-point road underdogs, covering the spread by 21 points.
This has been a closely-contested series. Indeed, five of the last six meetings have been decided by 6 points or less. The Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a win. Plays on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points (Memphis) - revenging a home loss, off a road win are 90-51 (63.8%) ATS over the last five seasons. Bet the Grizzlies Wednesday.
