NBA Daily Picks- June 9th

Denver at Phoenix -5

Tonight is Game 2 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals between the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns. The Suns lead the series 1-0 after a 122-105 win led by an inspired Chris Paul and his improved right shoulder. Nikola Jokic was named the Regular Season MVP yesterday and must lead this team without Jamal Murray but gaining Will Barton back for this game. Jokic had a "disappointing" 22 points 9 rebounds and 3 assists which is not to the level or standard we have set for the Joker. Barton being back is just another piece that can play good defence and make open shots to help Denver even up this series. The Suns are favoured by 5 at home and this will determine if the guards and small ball (with Deandre Ayton) is too much for Denver to handle. I think Jokic will have an improved game from the 1st one but it still might not be enough for the Nuggets to keep up with the Suns. I'll take Phoenix to win but Denver to cover and keep it within the 5 point spread. 



Record
Straight: 36-22

Spread- 27-28

Wild Card Saturday

-
I'm still not celebrating the regular season until the playoffs are over. This is only for the two Saturday games for now. Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans Even Vegas knows that this is the rubber match of the year. I'm taking Houston to win but Indy to cover the 2 points because these games are weird. Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys Seattle is too hot right now to lose to the Cowboys. Dallas is favored because they are at home and Vegas wants to be safe. But I'm trusting Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson to leave Texas with a victory.
