Pure Lock #1: Knicks +1 at Pacers

The Knicks didn’t pull through for us on Monday night in our first ever official segment of Chasing Pure Locks when we took them -7 vs. the Raptors and they proceeded to lose by 9.

Expect the Knicks to be highly motivated to put that bad home loss behind them and get back to their winning ways.

Not to mention that the Knicks have been WAY better than the Pacers so far this season from just about every angle.

Most notably, the Knicks have the #2 offense in the league while the Pacers defense is 22nd. (Over 216 looks pretty good here, too.)

Our model actually suggested that this spread be Knicks -5.5. But then again, our model is just guessing what the spreads are going to be based off gut feeling.

What can we say, we love the Knicks.

BING BONG!

The Nuggets lost to the Grizzlies on Monday night.

Tonight, we expect them to get their revenge.

Pure Lock #3: Hornets at Warriors Over 226.5

Unders have been all the rage so far this season, but when two teams that are both top-5 in pace meet, you take the Over.

Especially when the Total is under 230 points!
