Raptors at Jazz

11/03/2017
Raptors at Jazz
Jazz @ 1.8

The Jazz are one of the strongest teams right now. They have won three in a row and they have keeping an incredible level of defense and they are improving the offense. In the last game they scored 112 against the Blazers even with Hood being scoreless. Ricky Rubio and rookie Donovan Mitchell are in great shape and the chemistry with all the team is fantastic.

The Raptors are winning easy games and losing the difficults, last game they lost receiving 129 from Denver. They are a solid team but they don't usually win difficult games and I think this is very difficult for them. It will be very interesting the matchup between Rubio and Lowry and I trust in Sefolosha for limiting DeRozan.

Thunder at Bucks

10/31/2017
Thunder at Bucks
Thunder -1.5 @ 1.9

The Thunder are improving their chemistry between their top three players, specially ball movement. Their last results are good, they fell in Minnesota after a close game but playing good basketball. Westbrook is finding his space in the new schema and George and Anthony are improving his percentages.

The Bucks depend a lot of what Giannis can do every night. He is already an all-star but he needs more help to win games like this. Middleton played really well last night and he will need to keep this level tonight.

I don't like the way Bucks are playing, when Giannis can't score from the outside is relatively easy to defend them. I think the Thunder won't be worried about the scoring of Giannis but they will try to limit the rest of the team.

Mavericks at Jazz

10/30/2017  
Mavericks at Jazz
Mavericks +8.5 @ 1.9

The Jazz are a solid team at home. They have won all of their home games with a notable defense. They are having some difficulties with turnovers and offense. The rookie Donovan Mitchell is one of the big surprises of the Jazz and every day is playing better. Rubio is scoring 15ppg but he needs to improve as a leader.

The Mavs have won only one game but they have lost some of them for a few points. They are in a rebuilding process with Barnes as his best player. Nowitzki can still produce but with playing less minutes than ever. Matthews started very bad the season bus is starting to fins his rithm slowly.
I expect a close victory for the Jazz so I think Mavs can keep the margin.

Lakers at Jazz

10/27/2017
Lakers at Jazz
Over 202 @ 1.9

The Jazz played awfully last game losing against the weak Suns. It was surprising because they didn't show effort. Things will change today at their court against the Lakers, they need to win and they need to improve their offense. Rubio and Gobert are not connecting very well but I think is just a question of time to improve it.

The Lakers are scoring a lot with Lonzo at PG and are bad at deffense. Ingram and Kuzma are playing great and their confidence is really high.

I expect a better offense for the Jazz today so I think the over is a very good option here.
