8 games, some big match-ups in the East….

February 27, 2016

Tonight’s 8 Games:

Charlotte @ Indiana

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
12	Charlotte	102.0	101.0	+1.0
9	Indiana	102.5	100.4	+2.1

The Say

Charlotte are ever so tightly hanging on to 8^th spot in the East, and will go into this match-up confident considering they beat the Pacers in Indiana just 2 weeks ago. Indiana will need to pull out all stops to win.

Best Bet: Charlotte +13.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Over 204.5 @1.91

Washington @ Philadelphia

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
21	Washington	102.6	104.7	-2.1
30	Philadelphia	95.9	106.5	-10.6

The Say

Philly aren’t their usual walkover-selves at home, but Washington couldn’t slip us here. The 76ers do pull out the odd good game, but the Wizards will have too much talent in Wall and Beal to let any upset occur.

Best Bet: Washington WIN @1.23

Feeling Lucky: Washington -6.5 @1.61

Orlando @ New York

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
18	Orlando	100.1	101.2	-1.1
22	New York	99.2	101.8	-2.6

The Say

The Knicks fell just short of Indiana in their last outing, and will feature again against Orlando at home. No clear winner here. Could Melo be on blocks? The Magic were in the box seat for the Steph Curry (51 points, 10 3’s) show last night but have a chance to steal this match at MSG.

Best Bet: New York +8.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Orlando +6.5 @1.48

Cleveland @ Toronto

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
4	Cleveland	103.1	96.9	+6.2
5	Toronto	102.4	97.6	+4.8

The Say

‘Match of the Day’ here. Both teams have played each other twice with the wins split, with home court being the deciding factor in both. At this stage this is the likely East Conference Finals fixture. The Cavs will look to gain that advantage for the post season in winning tonight, while the Raptors will be hoping to put their lineup to the test coming into to the Playoffs.

Best Bet: Under 222.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Cleveland WIN 1.82

Chicago @ Atlanta

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
15	Chicago	101.9	102.3	-0.4
8	Atlanta	102.5	100.3	+2.2

The Say

Another tough match-up to pick here. Just when you think the Bulls are slipping away, they win 3 in a row with their best player (Butler) still out. With the East so even, any loss is as bad as 3, and with Atlanta on a 3 game slide, they really need to win this or they could be in a battle with Charlotte.

Best Bet: Chicago +11.5 @1.44

Feeling Lucky: Atlanta -6.5 @1.89

Denver @ Dallas

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
24	Denver	100.6	103.7	-3.1
16	Dallas	101.4	102.1	-0.7

The Say

The day we wrote Denver completely off, they defeat the Clippers in LA. Up against Dallas tonight, we aren’t confident to suggest an easy one for the Mavs. Dallas are 1.5 games away from dropping out of the Playoff picture altogether, which is an extra incentive for them to win.

Best Bet: Denver +15.5 @1.22

Feeling Lucky: Dallas WIN @1.46

LA Clippers @ Sacramento

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
6	LA Clippers	104.8	100.2	+4.6
20	Sacramento	107.1	109.1	-2

The Say

The Clippers haven’t pleased the loyal supporters since the Green acquisition, and giving away a first rounder. While dropping the game to Denver we saw them held down offensively, so we really questions if they have enough offense with Griffin still out. The Kings on the other hand are all offense. Expect a shoot out here.

Best Bet: Over 212.5 @1.45

Feeling Lucky: Over 219.5 @1.90

Memphis @ LA Lakers

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
17	Memphis	98.6	99.5	-0.9
29	LA Lakers	97.6	107.1	-9.5

The Say

These two just played with the Grizzlies taking the W in Memphis. Kobe got to say goodbye to the Memphis fans that went through a Kwame for Gasol trade with their superstar centre winning 2 rings with the Mamba, yeah thanks KOBE! Does much change in 2 days? Let’s hope Derek Fisher isn’t hanging around Staples.
