| -5-5 | 203.5 | Â 117-106 |
The Greek Freak leads the league with 35.0 ppg and the Bucks are in decent form having won 3 of 5, a loss coming against the Celtics at home last out 96-89.
Atlanta rank 4th in defensive efficiency and we like the Bucks to take this one in a low scoring affair against a Hawks team that runs plays very slowly and may struggle on the boards.
San Antonio @ Indiana

The Spurs were simply outrun against the Magic last out in a 114-87 blowout in Orlando, showing an uncharaterisic lack of defense, letting the Magic shoot 57% from the field.
The Spurs rank 1st in defensive efficiency and at the bottom end in pace. The Unders look great here.
Not willing to play the -7.0.

Denver’s 4-game road trip continues in Brooklyn. Not touching the line but like the Overs with a Denver team that ranks 2nd last in the league in defensive efficiency.
Go the Overs.
Orlando @ Charlotte

The Magic are in a nice vein of form, with a 5-1 record and wins against big boys Cleveland and a most recent blowout win at home over the Spurs 114-87.
The Hornets are finding it hard offensively, with 99.2 points per game, ranking 23rd in the league. Dwight has finally found a little heart in Charlotte, averaging 17.4 points and 12.7 rebounds.
We like a hot hand at this early stage, and we’ll run with the underdog Magic.
Like the Unders.
Washington @ Sacramento

- Washington are 0-3-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Sacramento.
- Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Sacramento.

The Kings have lost 3 straight with a 1-4 record but with a couple night’s rest should be at least fresh enough to put up a fight against a Wizards team that has been ‘oh so close’ in it’s last two games against the Warriors and Lakers.
The talent on the Wizards roster is levels above the rebuilding Kings.
New York @ Cleveland
H2H Trends –
- Under is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings in Cleveland.
- New York are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
- Under is 8-2-1 in the last 11 meetings.

The Knicks grabbed their first win of the seaon last out against cross-town rivals Brooklyn, but it will take more than that to give the punters any confidence of an upset tonight against the Cavs, who despite their own troubles, should get over the line.
The Cavs have gone just 1-4 ATS so far, and are struggling to find a line-up they like. The Cavs will win in an ugly affair, not touching this one.
Go the Unders if you must.
Detroit @ Golden State
H2H Trends –
- Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
- Detroit are 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Golden State.
Win/Loss

The Warriors have gone 1-5 ATS so far in 2017/18 and until they find the 5th gear they could switch to over the last few years, we’ll stay clear of any line around -15.0, especially against a Pistons team that is holding their own.
Not touching this one, we’ll wait for the O/U Points line.
