| +7.0 | 211.5 | 112-78 |
Toronto boasted a 4-game win streak with an average margin of 13.3 points before setbacks against the New York Knicks and Pacers. Atlanta rank 26th in the league in defensive efficiency and Toronto 3rd in offensive efficiency.
Overs is the play, with both on a B2B. Atlanta should be spurred by a nice win against the Knicks last night.

The Knicks lost as favorites last night in Atlanta, and things won’t get any easier tonight. New York is 2-12 all-time at the Toyota Center and tonight it could get ugly.
Overs also look good.
Best Bet = Over 218.5

The Celtics 16 game win-streak was snapped last night against the Heat. The Celtics allow a league low 95.7 PPG along with elite rebounding.
Indiana have their own 5-game streak rolling, but may not have enough tonight against the form team.
Best Bet = Boston ML
Oklahoma City @ Dallas

Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| OKC | Over | Dallas |
| -5.0 | 199.0 | 97-81 |
OKC are struggling with ball in hand, scoring just 103.5 ppg, ranking 19th in the NBA. Their 20.8 assists per game ranks 21st.
Despite this, we like the Overs here.
Carmelo Anthony needs just 8 points to pass Ray Allen (24,505) and move into 23rd place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.
Best Bet = Over 199.0
New Orleans @ Golden State

| -13.0 | 229.5 | 110-95 |
Golden State won the first game in their four-game set against New Orleans, 128 – 120. Averaging 117.8 PPG on offense this year while shooting 51% from the floor as a team, the Warriors are again rolling and coming off a 143-94 trouncing of the Bulls.
Warriors to get it done again tonight.
Best Bet = Golden State -13.0

| -1.5 | 200.0 | 121-108 |
Giannis is probable, but if he suits take the Bucks ATS.
Over is 7-3 in Bucks last 10 road games and we like that here. Not willing to outlay though.

The Clippers are just goddamn awful, while the Kings are the team without a personality (also awful).
Walk away from this one.
If You Must = Sacramento ML
