7 games, and the total points lines are very high.

February 22, 2016

Tonight’s 7 NBA Games:

Detroit @ Cleveland

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
13	Detroit	101.6	101.1	+0.5
4	Cleveland	103.2	96.8	+6.4

The Say

Detroit got royally pantsed in their own arena against Anthony Davis last night where he dropped 59 & 20. What’s next for them?… a Cleveland team who convincingly dropped the Thunder…away. Its looks like Love and LeBron have smoked the peace pipe for another day displaying their own handshake routine. The Cavs are rolling at the moment and will be too strong for the Pistons.

Best Bet: Cleveland WIN @1.23

Feeling Lucky: Cleveland -7.5 @1.91

Indiana @ Miami

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
9	Indiana	102.6	100.3	+2.3
14	Miami	96.7	96.6	+0.1

The Say

The Pacers continue their Florida road trip to take on the Heat, who still managed to get it done the other night without Bosh or Wade. Depending on who makes the court for Miami (its safe to say Bosh will remain out), an upset is looming. Otherwise, go the margin with this one staying close. The Heat have the days rest and will need another big Whiteside performance to get the win.

Best Bet: Waiting for odds…

Feeling Lucky: Miami WIN @1.89

Toronto @ New York

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
5	Toronto	101.8	97.5	+4.3
21	New York	99.2	101.3	-2.1

The Say

New York got on the winners list defeating the Wolves away. But you’d think that’s where it stops for them with Toronto coming to town. Although, the Raptors just dropped a game at Minnesota which shows this isn’t a sure thing. Toronto to win, just.

Best Bet: Toronto WIN @1.57

Feeling Lucky: Best Bet is as good as it gets

Golden State @ Atlanta

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
2	Golden State	115.3	103.8	+11.5
8	Atlanta	102.7	100.2	+2.5

The Say

Bogut missed the last game and could be doubtful tonight. This game last season was a marquee match-up, with both teams streaking ahead of the pack. A year later, the drop-off with the Hawks has been a confusing one. Warriors to win.

Best Bet: Golden State WIN @1.32

Feeling Lucky: Golden State -6.5 @1.80

LA Lakers @ Milwaukee

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
29	LA Lakers	97.1	106.7	-9.6
26	Milwaukee	98.4	102.9	-4.5

The Say

As Kobe continues his road-trip, copying the likes of Wayne’s World, it will be last time he gets to see the Cream City but may have time to sneak into an Alice Copper concert. The Lakers are playing the whole “we will try until the very end to make sure we stay in the top 3 lottery”. The Bucks had a big win away to the Hawks and have enough young talent to get past the Lakers.

Best Bet: LA Lakers +17.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Over 205.5 @1.88

Boston @ Minnesota

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
6	Boston	105.8	101.7	+4.1
25	Minnesota	100.4	104.1	-3.7

The Say

The Celtics had no troubles dismantling the Nuggets in high altitude (is that still a Denver advantage?) and made us look stupid. All positions on the court are well matched for Boston, with most lineups troubling oppositions. The Wolves are just going through the motions. With a very talented young core, the mature heads of Garnett, K-Mart and Prince just aren’t effective enough to steer them away from lackluster performances. The better drilled team in Boston to take the W.

Best Bet: Boston WIN @1.49

Feeling Lucky: Boston -6.5 @2.05

Phoenix @ LA Clippers

Points +/- Rank

RK	TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
27	Phoenix	100.7	107.1	-6.4
6	LA Clippers	104.8	100.7	+4.1

The Say

The team formally referred to as the Phoenix Suns stand no chance against the Clippers. With only winning two of their last 28 games, the Suns trip to Hollywood will be more meaningful outside of the arena. LA have been entrenched in 4^th position for the whole season, and will look to get newly acquired Jeff Green on the confidence bandwagon.
