Pepper McSausage Picks

A pick a day until my mom comes back to life.

My mom was looking down on me last night. Despite my (over) confidence, we managed to survive overtime on our under. My mom pulling some Angels In The Outfield s*** using her big body and low center of gravity to box out Saddiq Bey and prevent him from snagging bounds. And we, folks, are back at .500! It feels good, vibes are high, and I find myself IN LOVE with a bet in particular tonight (which is sure to keep this momentum going)! Jk… we know what happens next. I don’t think we’ve been above .500 since early November and for good reason.

Today’s Pick: JAMES HARDEN OVER 5.5 REBOUNDS

The Hawks are a good matchup for this positionally, despite the funny feeling that the Clips are gonna get blown out again after their last game, combined with the team mood around the Chris Paul news. Specifically, I like Harden’s defensive assignment and how that will allow him to cherry pick rebounds. He’s going against Dyson Daniels (most likely) and Daniels’ penchant for driving and being able to be sagged off on from three should put Harden in the paint or lurking around it rather frequently all game. And he’s the sort of player who will take advantage of those opportunities on the boards.

Good luck everyone and I’ll see y’all on the other side!

Pick record: 17-17 (thank you Bey!)
