The Demon’s NBA Picks 3/13/15

Elfrid Payton – PG –Orlando - $10.700

Payton is a true hit or miss PG.  When he produces, he is the guy that you kick yourself in the ass for not putting him in your lineup with a “Damn it !!  I knew it!!”.  When he underperforms he is usually IN your lineup with a “Damn it !!  I knew it  !!”.  HE plays The Celtics and Marcus Smart tonight.  I like Smart as a young NBA talent, but he is pretty easy to score and move on, and I think Payton should have no problem earing his $10,700 paycheck.  Last week when they faced off Elf put up a 19 points, 7 assists, 10 reb, 1 steal performance. 

 

Dwayne Wade – SG – Miami -$15,800

D Wade has really turned it on the past 2 weeks.  He is finding his old form and is a “Solid” option tonight.  Surprisingly, The Shooting Guard position is the hardest spot to fill tonight (Especially now that Klay Thompson has been ruled out).  In March, Wade has averaged 26.2 pts, 2 steals, 6 assists, 4 rebs, and 33 minutes per game.   Miami is beat up and under-talented right now, so its Wade’s responsibility to score the majority of The Heat’s points.  Miami plays Toronto tonight which isn’t a wonderful matchup, but I expect Wade to have another SOLID performance.

 

Rudy Gay – SF – Sac - $16,400

Gay gets Philly tonight.  Philly stinks defensively at almost every aspect of the game, but they are BOTTOM of the league when it comes to giving up, Steals, Assists, and Rebounds.  Rudy Gay is really good at all of these (Especially for a SF).  The last 4 games Rudy Gay has been ON FIRE !  He is averaging an astounding 40 mins per game and has been STUFFING the stat sheet with pts, assists, reb, steals, and 3pts.  I think everyone should go Gay tonight.  If you’re gonna go Gay, tonights the night to give it a shot

 

Brandon Bass – PF – Boston - $9,700

I always try to find the weak spot in a defense, and all season long that weak spot has been the PF on The Magic.  Frye, O’quinn, and even Vu are all terrible blocks of swiss cheese.  Bass is the PF for The Celts, he earned the job by hard work and great hustle.  Again, these two played just last week, and Bass had a “Friggin’ Monsta Game!!!”  19 points, 17 rebounds, and 5 assists, put him in your lineup, and pray for a repeat performance.

 

DeAndre Jordan – C- LAC -$17,300

Jordan might be the most consistent player in the NBA.  You know almost exactly what you’re gonna get from him before the game starts.  There are currently only 2 threats on LAC: Jordan and Chris Paul.  Chris Paul is a beast, he keeps on playing through these injuries, but it will eventually catch up to him.  If his ankle is bothering him tonight, I see him dishing it down low to Jordan where he will get an easy 2 or get fouled (which every player in the NBA is currently doing to DeAndre)  Pencil him in for 15-15-3 and hope he takes it to 20-20-5
