Tonight’s 5 NBA Tips:
Cleveland @ LA Clippers
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
4 | Cleveland | 103.8 | 97.6 | +6.2 |
5 | LA Clippers | 104.9 | 100.4 | +4.5 |
The Say
The Clippers get their chance at the Cavs with their home court buddies the Lakers coming up short last time out. This match-up in Cleveland ended in a very easy with for LeBron, and with nothing really different tonight (Blake still out), the Cavs are a good thing again. The Clippers do find an extra gear at home against quality opponents, so no blow outs here. Expect CP3 and Kyrie to try and pull out some Globetrotter moves on each other, with CP3 odds on to draw a tech foul somewhere along the line…
Best Bet: Over 201.5 @1.46
Feeling Lucky: Cleveland WIN @1.82
Indiana @ Atlanta
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
10 | Indiana | 102.3 | 100.5 | +1.8 |
8 | Atlanta | 102.0 | 99.0 | +3.0 |
The Say
Both teams are coming off good wins last night. The Pacers are travelling from Dallas while the Hawks did the inevitable to the banged-up Grizzlies. At home, Atlanta are the favourites, but with both teams neck and neck in the conference, getting a win to push for a home birth is the priority.
Best Bet: Over 183.5 @1.20
Feeling Lucky: Over 191.5 @1.49
Utah @ Sacramento
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
14 | Utah | 97.9 | 97.3 | +0.6 |
23 | Sacramento | 106.8 | 109.5 | -2.7 |
The Say
A win tonight for Utah really puts the pressure on Dallas for the final 8th spot in the West. Boogie comes back for the Kings which will make that feat a little harder to accomplish. The Kings are on a 4 game skid and are just about ready to throw in the towel for the year. The only incentive is to make it hard for playoff bound teams and the seeding. Utah to push for an upset maybe. More All-Star basketball defense from the Kings.
Best Bet: Sacramento +12.5 @1.20
Feeling Lucky: Over 198.5 @1.45
Milwaukee @ Brooklyn
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
25 | Milwaukee | 99.4 | 103.1 | -3.7 |
27 | Brooklyn | 97.6 | 104.2 | -6.6 |
The Say
Brooklyn make it really hard to pick them tonight after their terrible effort in Philly. The Bucks are coming off good wins at home against the Heat and Pelicans, but away from the BMO Harris Bradley Arena, they could be a little shaky. No clear winner here, look for the under/over.
Best Bet: Milwaukee +9.5 @1.20
Feeling Lucky: Milwaukee WIN @1.72
New York @ LA Lakers
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
21 | New York | 99.3 | 101.6 | -2.3 |
29 | LA Lakers | 98.0 | 107.1 | -9.1 |
The Say
Phil comes home to LA for some Jeanie time and Kobe love. The Mamba is 50/50 to play but all signs are pointing to him making the game, if not just to laugh at the Knicks attempts at the Triangle. Clarkson, Randle and Russell are giving the LA faithful some hope, while both teams will be working hard in the off-season to pull a free agent. The Knicks came close to the Clippers so we are thinking an even closer result tonight. Look for the over with either, and also some Melo/Kobe bedroom eyes.
Kobe knows a triangle offense when he sees it.
