NBA Picks of the Day

Atlanta @ Orlando – Under 213.5 @$1.28 – WIN

Sacramento @ Boston – Boston -4.5 @1.70 – WIN

*All dates are U.S

Tonight’s 5 NBA Games:

Denver @ New York

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
24 Denver 100.4 103.8 -3.4
21 New York 99.0 101.1 -2.1

The Say

Denver are the best team in the league to cause an upset. They do have a lot of honourable loses but remain in most games without a blowout. The Knicks have been OK, and with Melo still recovering from injury, the Nuggets can make the contest close.

Best Bet: Denver +11.5 

Feeling Lucky: Denver WIN @$2.09


Atlanta @ Orlando

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
9 Atlanta 102.2 99.6 +2.6
19 Orlando 99.2 100.8 -1.6

The Say

Atlanta are doing everything possible to keep home court, while Boston and Miami are breathing down their necks. They were able to get the win last hit out at Amway Center, and with Orlando continuing to slump into non-existence, the Hawks should be able to keep on the pain.

Best Bet: Under 213.5 @$1.28

Feeling Lucky: Atlanta WIN @$1.70


Sacramento @ Boston

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
6 Boston 104.6 100.4 +4.2
20 Sacramento 106.8 108.5 -1.7

The Say

The Kings are allowing a league worst 108.5 ppg, meanwhile the Celtics are averaging an impressive 108.8 over their last 9 games, against teams that actually play defense. This could spell trouble for Sac, who have dropped 6 of their last 7, and are looking for a possible coaching change. Boston has won 6 of their last 7, and coming up against the soap opera of Sac, should get the W, in a high scoring affair.

Best Bet: Boston -4.5

Feeling Lucky: Boston 11+


LA Clippers @ Miami

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
7 LA Clippers 104.3 100.3 +4.0
13 Miami 96.0 95.8 +0.2

The Say

Miami has won 6 of their last 7, while previously losing 7 of 8 before this recent stretch of good form. Wade and Bosh have been turning back the clock, averaging 21.8 ppg and 20.3 ppg over their last eight. If this was in LA, with Blake, we’d be expecting a Clippers win, but away, not so confident, particularly with the form of the big 2 and Whiteside’s nightly block party.

Best Bet: Miami +4.5 @1.47

Feeling Lucky: Either team by less than 7 @2.50
