Ouch.
NOW, These are your Best bets of the week: February 23, 2021
This Friday, February 26, we have a blockbuster NBA matchup as The Portland Trailblazers travel to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers. The Blazers have been streaking lately, winning six games in a row before finally falling to the Washington Wizards this past Saturday. Portland is led by Damian Lillard’s 30 points per game and 7.9 assists per game. Dame was recently named a starting guard in the Western Conference for his efforts, and let’s not ignore that Center Enes Kanter is pulling down an astonishing 11.1 rebounds per game. At 18-11, Portland currently sits at 2nd place in the Northwest Division behind the Utah Jazz. The Lakers, at 22-9, sit in first place in the Pacific Division, which, as of today, is a half a game better than crosstown rivals The Los Angeles Clippers. Lebron James is averaging 25.6 points and 7.9 assists per game, good enough to earn him his 17th all star appearance, again as a starter. The Lakers are really, really hard to stop when they are clicking on all cylinders, and as of today have around a 70% chance of winning this game, but with the way Portland has been surging, we are picking the upset in this one.
OUR PICK: Portland by 2 points in a close one
This Saturday, February 27, we have a good one in the NHL as the Edmonton Oilers host The Toronto Maple Leafs. As of today, The Oilers have a record of 12-8 behind Center Connor McDavid, who leads the team in points, goals, and assists. With an astonishing 37 points, he sometimes can be a one man show, and if he had a little more help from his friends, Edmonton may have a shot of moving up in the standings. They are currently in second place in the North Division, and within striking distance of the first place Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs record as of today is 14-3-2, good enough for 30 points and the best overall record in the entire NHL behind points leader Mitchell Marner and leading scorer Auston Matthews. Let’s also not overlook that net-minder Frederick Anderson has, at times, looked to be the best goalkeeper in the league with a remarkable 11-3 record and a 2.69 goals against average. We think the Oilers have a shot here, the odds always increase in your favor when playing at home, but our opinion is that the Maple Leafs’ roster will prove to bee too much for Edmonton to overcome.
OUR PICK: Toronto 5, Edmonton 3
