Tonight’s 4 NBA Expert Picks:

Charlotte @ Brooklyn

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
9 Charlotte 103.0 100.8 +2.2
27 Brooklyn 98.3 104.8 -6.5

The Say

Charlotte totally redeemed themselves last night after coming back from a 20 point deficit to beat the Spurs at home. The win puts them in contention to gain a home court advantage for the post season with the log jam in the East. Being the 2nd leg of a back to back doesn’t scare us against the Nets.

Best Bet: Charlotte WIN @1.31

Feeling Lucky: HT/FT – Charlotte/Charlotte @1.60


Miami @ New Orleans

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
10 Miami 99.3 97.9 +1.4
24 New Orleans 103.3 106.4 -3.1

The Say

Since the All-star break, Miami have only failed to score over 100 points twice. Prior to the break they were the 3rd lowest scoring team in the East. Against their competition in the East, they have discovered that scoring against the opposition is usually more valuable than trying to stop them. As they did against the Cavs, they should do again against the Pelicans tonight.

Best Bet: Miami WIN @1.31

Feeling Lucky: Over 203.5 @1.47


Houston @ Oklahoma

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
17 Houston 106.1 107.0 -0.9
3 Oklahoma 110.2 103.0 +7.2

The Say

The ESPN injury reports are suggesting that KD may be out with an elbow for OKC, and Harden is questionable with a foot for the Rockets. So, basically what this means is that we should all walk away from this one.

Houston are fighting for their playoff lives, while constantly tightrope walking the .500 line at 35-35 like a drunk trying to cheat his way through a sobriety test.

Presuming everybody takes the court, we will once again go against the Rockets. If Harden sits, throw your house on the Thunder.

Best Bet: Oklahoma -5.5 @1.50

Feeling Lucky: Oklahoma 11+ @2.00


Memphis @ LA Lakers

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
19 Memphis 99.2 100.5 -1.3
29 LA Lakers 97.7 106.6 -8.9

The Say

The Grizzlies travel to Staples to play the young Lakers who may or may not be without Kobe (toss the dice on a nightly basis). Memphis have managed to knock out back to back W’s after losing 4 straight, the savior being Z-Bo, who came back with a BANG against the Suns with 28pts and 17rbs, then backing that up with 14pts and 13rbs in a 103-97 win over the Suns last night.

The Lakers have had 3 days rest and are back at home with a young side that should have just enough freshness in mind and body to take it the the streaking Grizzlies, with or without Mamba.

Best Bet: LA Lakers +9.5 @1.25

Feeling Lucky: Z-BO 20+pts/Memphis WIN @3.30
