Tonight’s 5 NBA Picks:
Denver @ LA Clippers
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 20 | Denver | 102.5 | 104.9 | -2.4 |
| 8 | LA Clippers | 104.4 | 101.1 | +3.3 |
Picks against the spread
The Say
The Nuggets were able to win this matchup last out with the help of Gallinari, who is now unavailable with a season ending injury. After some pretty disappointing games against well undermanned sides in the Grizzlies and Pelicans, the Clippers got one back over the Trail Blazers with a JJ Reddick buzzer beater. Denver could also be without Faried which makes this choice for LA even more solid.
Best Bet: LA Clippers -1.5 @1.20
Feeling Lucky: Under 213.5 @1.87
Houston @ Indiana
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 16 | Houston | 106.0 | 106.8 | -0.8 |
| 10 | Indiana | 101.6 | 100.1 | +1.5 |
Picks against the spread
The Say
With stakes high for both teams, a win tonight will be more valuable to Houston with Dallas half a game behind. For Indiana, their greatest threat is Chicago who are in no shape to win a game soon which helps their cause. The Pacers are a little shaky with their loss to Brooklyn last out, while the Rockets made it 2 from 2 against the Raptors. Liking the over here with a shootout on the cards. Maybe a Houston win for all those that a little faith at this time of the year.
Best Bet: Over 202.5 @1.46
Feeling Lucky: Houston WIN @2.34
Dallas @ Sacramento
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 15 | Dallas | 103.2 | 103.8 | -0.6 |
| 21 | Sacramento | 106.5 | 109.0 | -2.5 |
Picks against the spread
The Say
The Kings lead the series 2-1 against the Mavs this season and have a chance to really make things difficult for Dallas with another win tonight. The Mavs are certain to welcome back Dirk, Deron and Devin who all missed their last game. Although, they have struggled to contain DeMarcus which will be a hard ask for Nowitzki. Dallas have a lot to play for still so expect a close one.
Best Bet: Over 203.5 @1.20
Feeling Lucky: Dallas +6.5 @1.45
Philadelphia @ Golden State
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 30 | Philadelphia | 96.9 | 107.5 | -10.6 |
| 2 | Golden State | 115.4 | 104.3 | +11.1 |
Picks against the spread
The Say
Philadelphia head to Splash City to become to sacrificial lamb, branded on their hide with the number 66. Come midnight, the Warriors will have taken their season record to 66-7, and remain only 7 wins away from breaking the NBA season wins record.
Philly have won 1 of their last 10, and they sure as hell won’t improve on that tonight. It’s just a case of by how much for the Warriors, especially with that little bit of extra incentive on the line.
Best Bet: Golden State -11.5 @1.20
Feeling Lucky: Under 231.5 @1.52
Washington @ LA Lakers
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 17 | Washington | 103.5 | 104.6 | -1.1 |
| 29 | LA Lakers | 98.1 | 106.8 | -8.7 |
Picks against the spread
The Say
Now that the Bulls have shown that they aren’t up for it following a 111-89 “must-win” loss to Orlando last night, the Wizards (35-35) may be sniffing a finals berth (should the Pistons (36-34) slip).
The Lakers are done and dusted, with Russell likely to sit, and the artist formerly known as The Black Mamba likely to suit up.
If Russell sits, this should be a sure bet for the Wizards, but our best bet will still be a lengthy line for the Lakers, cos, it’s the Wizards…
Best Bet: LA Lakers +17.5 @ 1.20
Feeling Lucky: Washington -2.5 @1.50
