Tonight’s 6 NBA Betting Tips:

Boston @ Indiana

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
6 Boston 106.1 101.9 +4.2
10 Indiana 101.9 100.5 +1.4

The Say

Both teams are coming off a loss and hope to get back on the winners track in the closely contested East. Crowder will miss with an ankle sprain which doesn’t help the Celtics chances of stopping Paul George. Indiana at home is usually a good thing but they never make it easy. They would be hoping for some better form after getting smashed by Atlanta last out.

Best Bet: Indiana +9.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Indiana WIN @1.77


Denver @ Orlando

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
21 Orlando 100.6 102.8 -2.2
20 Denver 102.4 104.5 -2.1

The Say

The Nuggets gave it their best shot against the Heat but came up short. Now they face their Florida neighbors in Orlando in the second half of a back to back. The Magic haven’t been playing that well with some key players missing. Look out again closer to game time for the updates but if nothing changes, expect Denver to have another crack.

Best Bet: Denver +14.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Over 201.5 @1.49


Philadelphia @ Brooklyn

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
30 Philadelphia 96.8 107.3 -10.5
27 Brooklyn 97.7 104.3 -6.6

The Say

The replay of Friday’s hard to watch encounter, where the 76ers ran away with the win and two players got carried off. Philly’s roster could still be weakened with the concussed duo while the Nets would be looking to get one back at home.

Best Bet: Brooklyn WIN @1.29

Feeling Lucky: Under 215.5 @1.47


Toronto @ Milwaukee

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
5 Toronto 102.9 98.6 +4.3
24 Milwaukee 99.6 103.1 -3.5

The Say

A night after losing what some would call an un-losable game against the Bulls. Especially after the Cavs lost, Toronto don’t make the best of their chances in stealing top spot. Letting Dougie McBuckets score 29 off the bench says that the Raptors may have some of the yipps that has plagued them in the post season’s past. The Bucks aren’t a push over at home lately either and could make it difficult for the Raps. Although, expect Toronto to bounce back.

Best Bet: Toronto +9.5 @1.20 

Feeling Lucky: Toronto WIN @1.69


LA Clippers @ San Antonio

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
1 San Antonio 104.6 92.3 +12.3
7 LA Clippers 104.6 100.6 +4.0

The Say

Clippers were lucky enough to silence the Spurs just over a week ago at Staples, although it will be a different story tonight. Still yet to lose at home, expect San Antonio to keep the 2nd most talked about streak alive.

Best Bet: San Antonio WIN @1.20

Feeling Lucky: San Antonio -5.5 @1.51


Sacramento @ LA Lakers

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
23 Sacramento 106.7 109.5 -2.8
29 LA Lakers 97.9 106.8 -8.9

The Say

Things are imploding in Sac town. Even though Cousins is having a huge year there is still question marks over his future. Not to mention, Coach Karl has no future with the team. Rondo has been under and injury cloud so look for some game time decisions, also Kobe will be in that bucket. He already said goodbye to the Kings, he may sit for tonight.

Best Bet: Over 204.5 @1.22

Feeling Lucky: Sacramento WIN @1.68
