 What's going on and welcome to quick picks my name is Tom Vecchio the NBA play-in games are quickly approaching it We have two on Tuesday April 11th. I have three picks for those games Let's jump in starting off the Cavs plus eight and a half. They're on the road going up against the Brooklyn Nets I think this is just too many points for the Cavs to be getting I ultimately think the Nets are gonna come With the win, but I'll like I like the Cavs to cover the Nets at home in the season have been terrible against the spread 827 and 1 at home for an overall record of 33 47 and 2 just not a good record against the spread the Cavs on the road They were 1960 and 2 against the spread and overall they were 42 37 and 3 So I like the Cavs to cover in this game. I like the Nets to win We've seen the Cavs cover in three of their last five games in the rain with season while the Nets were only at 2 They just haven't been covering games and I'll take the points with the Cavs I also lean on the under which will get to in a minute another game where I'm leaning the under would be the Timberwolves hosting the Los Angeles Clippers this game is thinking of a 230 points I think that's just too many the team wills have you know Bit of strong over under team this season in the grand scheme thing has been at home Specifically, they're 20 and 21 when it comes to their over under record and the Clippers on the road They're 17 23 and 1 with for their over under record Minnesota while they're first in the league in offense to pace the Clippers are 18 So a paced-down spot for Minnesota could lead to lower points Combined with the fact that both teams are in the top half the league when it comes to defensive efficiency The Clippers are up at eighth and the Timberwolves surprisingly are at 13th in the league So I'm expecting a slower game from the Timberwolves and certainly means less points overall like the under at 230 And then finally Kevin Durant's over seven and a half rebounds that's sitting at plus 100 even money He had nine or more in three of the past four games to end the regular season This goes along with the fact that I'm leaning the under if I'm leaning the under that means We're gonna be seeing more rebounds because of the more missed shots I'll take Durant at over seven and a half Frankly, the Nets are gonna need him to step up as he's done in some of these recent games and hit the over on seven and a half The again correlates with the under in the game overall So I'm going to rant over seven and a half rebounds and even mine All right, so that does it for today's quick picks. We'll be back with more for the rest of the playing games this week
