Tonight’s NBA tips

*Original betting lines and lineups taken game morning, adjust accordingly. Sometimes the total points come out way too late for us, and we apologize for the ones that we miss. (but not really).

Again, we hand the tips over to our visitors. We’ll be accruing a parlay of the the 3 most popular picks prior to the first tip, that we’ll send out in the newsletter an hour prior to the tip.


Tonight’s Parlay

Washington @ Detroit –  Washington -3.0  – WIN

Utah @ Golden State – Utah +12.0 – WIN


Indiana @ Philadelphia

TEAM PPG OPP PPG DIFF
Indiana 104.9 105.5 -0.6
Philadelphia 102.2 107.9 -5.7

The Say –

The Pacers have been awful for us all season long, so it’s hard to even eyeball this one.

Indiana have won their last 3, while the 76ers have lost their last 6. We’ll cautiously take the Pacers at the line, with 76ers injuries and the Pacers playoff push enough for a punt.

Picks –

The People’s Vote: Indiana -8.0 – WIN

The Midfield Pick – Total Points Over 211.0 – WIN


Cleveland @ Miami

Cleveland 110.6 107.1 +3.5
Miami 102.8 101.9 +0.9

The Say –

The Cavs lost the un-loseable last night, with an 18-44 point last quarter against the Hawks leading to an OT loss in Atlanta. Never seen a bigger choke….

No bet here would be the good choice, but we’ll take the home team with a 3-2 record over the Champs this season and a day’s break.

Picks –

The People’s Vote: Cleveland -1.5 – LOSS

The Midfield Pick – Miami +1.5 – WIN


Brooklyn @ Boston

Brooklyn 106.2 112.5 -6.3
Boston 107.9 105.5 +2.4

The Say –

The Nets have won 4 of their last 5, and 7-3 over 10, and are now doing all the right things at the wrong end of the season. Boston are 6-4 over their last 10, and have won the last 6 in this matchup.

Boston to get the W, but that line’s just too high for us.

Picks –

The People’s Vote: Boston -10.5 – LOSS

The Midfield Pick – Brooklyn +10.5 – WIN


Washington @ Detroit

Washington 109.3 107.4 +1.9
Detroit 101.2 102.3 -1.1

The Say –

The Pistons broke a recent 1-7 slump by winning their last 2, while Washington are 6-4 over 10.

The Wizards should win tonight, and make the Pistons last night at Auburn Hills one to forget.

Picks –

The People’s Vote: Washington -3.0 – WIN

The Midfield Pick – Washington -3.0 – WIN

Orlando 101.3 107.4 -6.2
Chicago 102.5 103.2 -0.6

The Say –

The Magic are 3-7, the Bulls 6-4 over 10. At the United Center we like the Bulls, even though they’ve killed more parlays for us this year than we’d like to remember.

Come to think of it, scratch this one. But if you must….

The Say –

Charlotte have lost their last 3, going 5-5 0ver 10. The Bucks are 6-4 over 10 and took this matchup in Charlotte 2 weeks back.

Like the line for the home team here. Charlotte are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Milwaukee.

Picks –

The People’s Vote: Milwaukee -5.5 – WIN

The Midfield Pick – Charlotte +5.5 – LOSS

San Antonio 105.5 98.1 +7.4
Portland 108.2 108.7 -0.5

The Say – 

Portland took this matchup in Texas a little under a month ago, and back at home with some very nice recent form we can’t look past them tonight. The Blazers are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games after a days rest.

Picks –

The People’s Vote: San Antonio -2.5 – LOSS

The Midfield Pick – Portland +2.5 – WIN


Utah @ Golden State

Picks against the spread

Golden State 35-4 31-10

Points +/-

TEAM PPG OPP PPG DIFF
Utah 100.7 96.7 +3.9
Golden State 116.2 104.4 +11.8

The Say – 

Splash Town has found a revival over the last month, and now having won 14 straight are worthwhile throwing some hard earned at once again for the title (now $1.80). The Jazz are 6-4 over their last 10, and have lost their last 6 against the Warriors.

Tough to go against the Jazz at +10.5 however. Warriors to win under the line.

Picks –

The People’s Vote: Utah +12.0 – WIN

The Midfield Pick – Utah +12.0 – WIN


Houston @ LA Clippers

Points +/-

TEAM PPG OPP PPG DIFF
Houston 115.5 109.3 +6.2
LA Clippers 108.4 104.6 +3.8

The Say –

The Clippers have won their last 5, and are 8-2 over 10. Rockets have split their last 10, and dare we say it this is surely the match of the night.

The Rockets have taken the 2 wins in this series this season, one a spectacular 140-116 win in Houston back on New Year’s Eve. We’d love to see the overs for this one, but alas, like with all Houston games the overs lines are delayed. We’ll hold tight.

A Rockets 25-15 road record has us all over the +6.0 line.

Picks –

The People’s Vote: Houston +6.0 – LOSS

The Midfield Pick – Houston +6.0 – LOSS
