Chasing Pure Locks: Thursday, November 11th, 2021
Happy Friday eve!
Three games on the menu tonight, and we are chasing a Pure Lock in each one.
Pure Lock #1: Raptors +4 at 76ers
Third time is the charm for the Raptors for us here after not covering on Sunday vs. the Nets or last night in Boston.
Tobias Harris does return tonight for Philly, but Embiid is still out and Seth Curry is Questionable. Tobias might have to shake off some rust having missed the last 6 games. This will be his first game since Halloween eve.
Here’s to hoping that the Raptors are due for some 3s to drop tonight.
Sunday vs. Brooklyn: 7-for-30.
Last night in Boston: 6-of-25.
Tonight’s the night!

Pure Lock #2: Pacers at Jazz Under 215.5
In 5 out of the last 7 games, the Pacers have scored less than 100 points, including two in a row. (One of those was against the Kings just gave up 136 points to the Spurs.)
Utah has kept opponents under 100 points in 3 out of the last 6 games.
Caris LeVert has been ruled out tonight. LeVert is averaging 17 points per game.
It’s the Pesky Pacers vs. the Junder!

Pure Lock #3: Heat at Clippers -5.5
The Heat are on the second night of a back-to-back without Jimmy Butler’s 23.6 points points game (Bam and Tyler Herro are still Questionable as well) going up against the Clippers #3 defense in the league.
Miami’s defense will obviously slip without Jimmy and very much so if Bam also doesn’t play, and if Bam and Herro don’t suit up, the Heat will be missing 63.8 points a.k.a. 57 percent of their offense. (We like the Under 211.5 here as well.)
The Heat just don’t have a lot of depth to withstand missing their key guys, and the Clippers have been playing really well, rattling off 5 straight wins by an average of 11.6 points.

We’ll be back late tonight to review.
We love this game!
