Rotation #557
Cavs +2 over Knicks (loss)
The Knicks are an athletic team with tremendous upside, as they are excellent rebounders and are not sloppy with the ball. New York’s problem is that they are young and need to improve at sharing or taking the ball away. Cleveland has the best defense in the NBA, and they don’t beat themselves with sloppy turnovers. Look for Donovan Mitchell to run the show and for Garland and Mobley to have massive shooting nights. Take the Cavs.

Rotation # 958
Diamondbacks -105 over Padres (win)
Gallen/Lugo
Tonight’s pitching duel showcases two good pitchers. Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen only allows a few hits, making it challenging for the Padres to get on the board. Arizona is looking to get back into the winners’ circle after losing to the Padres in a game they out-hit them but couldn’t do any damage in late. Gallen is the Diamondbacks’ ace, while Seth Lugo has been more of a relief pitcher for most of his career. We will go with Gallen at this price any day. Take the Diamondbacks.
