J. Harden

PTS + AST + REB

Picked: Apr 15 @ 7:17am

Analysis

James Harden has seen his numbers decline since joining the Cavaliers ahead of the trade deadline. Harden is sharing the court with another high volume player that needs the ball in his hands in order to be most effective. In a game that projects to be low scoring and paced downs this looks like a natural spot to fade Harden, coupled with him having struggled throughout the playoffs during his career.

S. Barnes

Under 24.5

-121

PTS + AST

Picked: Apr 16 @ 7:04pm

Analysis

Caesar’s. Scottie Barnes was under this line in 35/52 games this season when playing with both Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett (and under in 4/5 without Immanuel Quickley, who is day-to-day). Narrowing it down further, Barnes is under in 21/26 games within that subset against the top 10 teams in paint points allowed, in which Cleveland ranks fifth. Almost 70% of Barnes’ made baskets and 60% of his assists are in the paint. And notably, Barnes shot 26% from three on the road this season (similar to last season). This series reads more to be Brandon Ingram heavy, and I have Barnes projected closer to 22.5 points plus assists, even with an expected minutes bump.

Analysis

Googling mental health professionals in my zip code (not 90210, sadly) as clearly I need it after picking the Rockies not once but twice against the Dodgers Friday. Utter stupidity. To be fair, the SL Model (and others) agreed with me. Pondered the Twins on Friday as well but didn't play. Glad as the Reds pulled the 2-1 upset. Cincy's bullpen is now pretty taxed with a second straight close game and no off day Thursday. It appears the Twins made a great trade last July in getting Taj Bradley for a song from the Rays. Bradley, who goes here, always was highly regarded but inconsistent/injured. He's still only 25 and perhaps in the midst of a breakout campaign at 3-0 with a 1.25 ERA.

Picked: Apr 17 @ 9:10pm

Analysis

The Mets have lost nine games in a row, while the Cubs have scored in double digits in their last three games. The Cubs bats are in a groove, and they've won four of their last five games while scoring 47 runs combined. The Mets have been without star slugger Juan Soto since April 5th, and he's not likely to return until Tuesday. Part of the Mets horror story in 2026: in Freddy Peralta's best two starts of the season, he allowed one run in each, and both were losses for the Mets. The weather favors the hot Cubs bats as it's expected to be 51° with 16 mph winds blowing out the right field. Cubs to win.

Over/Under

Picked: Apr 17 @ 11:09am

Analysis

In my opinion, if you get a 6.5 total in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and we won't all that often at least historically, you take the Under short of maybe games involving the Oilers or Avalanche. Things generally slow way down in the postseason. I'll bet this disappears eventually so why jumping now. Regular season, I don't play this as both are Top 10 offenses.
