Tonight’s 7 NBA Games:

Orlando @ Philadelphia

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
18 Orlando 99.7 101.0 -1.3
30 Philadelphia 95.6 106.1 -10.5

The Say

Both teams are unpredictable at best. Orlando have shaken up the roster adding Brandon Jennings while losing Harris and Frye. Philly surprisingly didn’t make any moves but are a better option than usual at home. The 76ers won this matchup in Orlando in their last meeting but no clear winner here.

Best Bet: Over 195.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Philadelphia +10.5 @1.47


New Orleans @ Washington

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
22 New Orleans 102.6 105.3 -2.7
21 Washington 102.4 104.9 -2.5

The Say

AD erupted for some Hall of Fame numbers with 59 & 20 against the Pistons and will need to keep the run going (not that high in numbers) but remain dominant to get the win here. The Pelicans roster right now is in the toilet, and the Wizards with new signing Morris will look to capitalize on this to take home the win. Washington are making a late push for the post season, with the Bulls looking shaky with Butler still out.

Best Bet: Washington +5.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Washington -4.5 @1.87


Sacramento @ Denver

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
20 Sacramento 107.2 109.1 -1.9
24 Denver 100.7 104.0 -3.3

The Say

The Nuggets were our best spread team until their last outing against Boston. Trading away Foye has cost the team some experience while the Kings are still in the hunt for a playoffs spot. Sacramento got the upper hand in the last match-up at home, although it took massive lines from Cousins and Rondo to get the win.

Best Bet: Sacramento +8.5

Feeling Lucky: Sacramento WIN @2.02


Houston @ Utah

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
19 Houston 105.2 106.7 -1.5
10 Utah 98.1 96.8 +1.3

The Say

Battle for 8th spot in the West tonight. Houston are keeping their chemistry issues for the rest of the season with no trade deadline moves, hoping Howard and Harden have kissed and made up for now. Utah will have all their stars on the court at once, and playing better ball, they deserve to be favourites at home.

Best Bet: Houston +14.5 @1.22

Feeling Lucky: Over 202.5 @1.91


Brooklyn @ Portland

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
12 Portland 103.3 102.1 +1.2
27 Brooklyn 96.5 103.5 -7.0

The Say

Lillard is still on his personal ‘Rambo’ like rampage against any team he comes up against. Tonight it’s the Nets. Blazers to win here.

Best Bet: HT/FT – Portland/Portland @1.36

Feeling Lucky: Damian Lillard +25.5 points @1.88
