Charlotte Hornets vs. Washington Wizards -- Wednesday, February 8, 2023 – 07:00 PM EST
"The offense should still get to the foul line and get easy looks from the field. But having those two guys could help them in the long run. Still, the Hornets have allowed 116.4 points per 100 possessions and a 55.6% effective field goal percentage. Most NBA players can score against this dreadful defense. But it takes two to tango. I’ve got the Under hitting in this one."NBA Pick: Under 236.5 (-110) at BetOnline
Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat -- Wednesday, February 8, 2023 - 07:30 PM EST
"The Heat still allows quality looks from the field, but the Pacers are shooting under a 54% effective field goal percentage and scoring just 112.7 points per 100 possessions. The Pacers will likely turn the ball over at a high rate and won’t see nearly as many offensive rebounds as they’re used to on a given day. Indiana also won’t get to the foul line at a high rate.Meanwhile, the Heat have struggled offensively themselves. They’ve scored just 112 points per 100 possessions while shooting an effective field goal percentage of 52.2%. But the Pacers aren’t great defensively and will still allow the Heat to get some good looks.
After all, the Pacers are only good at earning turnovers on defense, but Miami has limited turnovers to 13.7%. Indiana is also giving up 30.1% of offensive rebounds. You can expect the Heat to have plenty of second chances and offensive rebounds in this game. After checking the NBA odds, I'm backing the Heat at -5.5."

Golden State Warriors vs. Portland Trail Blazers -- Wednesday, February 8, 2023 - 10:00 PM EST
"Golden State has been an average defense throughout the season. But Portland’s offense should have no problem sticking around against the Warriors. The Blazers have still allowed at least 125 points in three of their last five games and have scored at least 121 in four of their previous five games. This game has Over written all over it."NBA Pick: Over 235 (-110) at BetOnline
