Tonight’s NBA betting tips

Boston @ New York

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Boston 104.7 103.0 +1.7
New York 105.3 107.6 -2.3

Picks –

Best Bet: Under 217.5 @1.45 – Like the Unders for this game with the new improved Knicks to hold the scoring tempo at home.

Feeling Lucky: Under 212.5 @1.91


Golden State @ Cleveland

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Golden State 117.5 104.1 +13.4
Cleveland 110.9 102.7 +8.2

Picks –

Best Bet: Over 215.5 @1.49 – Hoping to get a shootout with both teams relying on offense this season.

Feeling Lucky: Golden State WIN @1.65 – The upgrade to Kevin Durant to be the difference.


Chicago @ San Antonio

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Chicago 101.0 99.7 +1.3
San Antonio 104.1 97.9 +6.2

Picks –

Best Bet: Nope – Although the Bulls are out of form with a 3-7 record over the last 10, that line is just too big for us, and the H2H odds too slim. Spurs are 8-2 of their last 10.

Feeling Lucky: Chicago +9.0 @1.91 – The Spurs are winning like nobody’s business, however they very rarely break the double figures win. Bulls to keep it close-ish.


Minnesota @ Oklahoma City

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Minnesota 103.9 106.2 -2.3
Oklahoma City 106.8 105.3 +1.5

Picks –

Best Bet: Oklahoma City WIN @1.49 – Russ loves Christmas Day, and we’ve fallen off the TWolves train after a 9-20 start to the year. Wolves are 5-9 on the road, Oklahoma 11-6 at home

Feeling Lucky: Oklahoma City -5.0 @1.91 – As above with a little more fire.


LA Clippers @ LA Lakers

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
LA Clippers 109.1 101.2 +7.9
LA Lakers 106.8 105.3 +1.5

Picks –

Best Bet: Nope. – No confident bet here with the Clippers likely without Paul and Griffin with an arthroscope on his knee. Nance will sit for the Lakers following a knee bruise.

Feeling Lucky: LA Lakers +6.0 @1.91 – The Lakers have lost 9 of the last 10, so this is definitely a reach. If there were ever to beat their court rivals, tonight is the night.
