 San Antonio  Under  Houston
 +12.5  214.5  109-93

Rarely do you see a line against Spurs extend this far, so we’re pretty tempted to take the Spurs +12.5.

Spurs rank 2nd in defensive efficiency and Houston rank 2nd in offensive efficiency, so this will be interesting.

Houston has won 11 games in a row at home, and we’d be hard pressed to think an L was on the way here. That line’s to high though. Unders best.

Best Bet  = Under 214.5

Milwaukee @ Memphis

H2H Trends – 

Milwaukee are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Memphis.
Under is 10-3-1 in the last 14 meetings.

TEAM W L HOME AWAY
Memphis 18 48 13-21 5-27
Milwaukee 35 31 21-14 14-17

Season Points +/- 

TEAM PPG OPP PPG DIFF
Memphis 98.5 103.8 -5.3
Milwaukee 104.8 105.3 -0.5

Picks against the spread

 Spread O/U Points   Result
 Milwaukee  Under  Milwaukee
 -7.0  206.5  121-103

Bucks have dropped 7 of their last 10 , while the Grizzlies have lost their last 17, yep…. 17, and own the worst record in the league.

Like the Unders here tonight, and the line for the Bucks is also low enough, but we’ll take the Milwaukee W for a lock.

Best Bet  =  Milwaukee WIN

Sacramento @ Oklahoma City

Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Oklahoma City.
Sacramento are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Oklahoma City.
Sacramento are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings.

Sacramento 21 46 11-22 10-24

Oklahoma City 106.7 103.7 3.1
Sacramento 99.2 107.2 -8.0

Picks against the spread

 Oklahoma City  Over  Oklahoma City
 -12.5  212.5  106-101

Kings are on a back to back tonight and will find it very tough against an OKC team in decent form.

The Thunder have an edge over the Kings in every important statistical category and tonight should be easy pickings. Like the Overs also.

Best Bet = Oklahoma City -12.5

Miami @ Portland

H2H Trends – 

Miami are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
Miami are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Portland.

 -6.5  208.5  115-99

Miami have won consecutive games and lead Milwaukee by 1/2 a game for 7th place in the East, while the Blazers are running hot with 9 straight wins.

Roll with the hot hand tonight. D-Wade likely to sit for the Heat.

Best Bet  = Portland WIN and Portland -6.5
