JARED QUAY: We got the Eastern Conference play-in games tonight. We're gonna start with the Charlotte Hornets versus the Indiana Pacers. Pacers are minus-3 with the over-under at 227 and 1/2.
The Hornets are 3 and 11 in their last 14 against the spread as road dogs while the Pacers are 6 and 1 against the spread their last seven games. I think the thing to watch here is the injuries. Obviously, the Pacers are missing Myles Turner, but the Hornets are missing Gordon Hayward, their leading scorer. I think that's gonna hinder 'em most. So ultimately, I think the Pacers should handle business.
Before we get to our next game, let's make sure we're taking advantage of our $600 risk-free bet at betmgm.com/yahoo.
The last game of the night-- the Boston Celtics versus the Washington Wizards. The Celtics are minus 2 and 1/2 with an over-under of 232 and 1/2. The Celtics are 4 and 9 in their last 13 against the spread. Meanwhile, the Wizards are 15, 4, and 1 in their last 20 against the spread, the best in the NBA.
Things to watch for this game. The Wizards are 10 and 5 in their last 15, and the Celtics are 5 and 10. They're trending opposite ways. You add that, plus the Jaylen Brown injury, I don't know if the Celtics have enough to compensate for that. So I'm thinking the Wizards are probably on the money line, but I know a lot of you guys are Celtics fans, so do what you do.
Good luck, everybody. And if you lose, well, I hope you took advantage of that risk-free bet. That's a really good deal, y'all.
