VIP Picks 1/7/25

Welp we got fucked with Embiid sitting out and both offenses took their turns being straight up stagnant in the Suns and Sixers game. Then the Capitals lost in round 4 of the shootout. Tough start to the week. Really need to get a winning day today.

Kevin Durant 20+ Pts / Anthony Edwards 20+ Pts / Jayson Tatum 20+ Pts (-143) 🥇

• KD averaging 27.4 ppg and he’s had 20+ in 11 straight games and actually only 2 games all season with less than 20. The Suns are only favored by -4.5 on the second night of a back to back vs the Hornets so it shouldn’t be a blowout situation where KD comes out early.

• Ant is averaging 25.6 ppg and has had 37 and 53 in his last 2 games. The TWolves are facing the Pelicans who have a shit record but it looks like Zion could be back so it could be a close game.

• Tatum is averaging 28.1 ppg and he’s had 20+ in 10 straight games. The Celts are on the final game of a tough road trip but they will be looking to bounce back after the L to the Thunder on Sunday.

Jets ML / Golden Knights ML (+120) 🥈

• I like this spot for the Jets at home tonight where they are 14-4-2 on the season with the #1 goalie in the league in net tonight who recently shut out the Predators on 12/30.

• This is also the 5th and final game of an extended week and a half road trip for the Preds where they will actually come back to Winipeg and sleep in the same hotel beds that they slept in when they lost 3-0 on 12/30 before they get back to their own beds. 

• The Golden Knights will take on the Sharks who they have scored 13 goals in 2 games against this season so expect more domination tonight. 

• Love love love the +120 odds for this play tonight.
