 Utah  Over  Cleveland
 +11.5  210.5  109-100

The Cavs rank better in 5 of the main 8 statistical categories, and have won their last 10 at home in the midst of a 16-1 stretch.

The Cavaliers rank 3rd in the league in offensive efficiency and although we back them for the W, that line’s too high for us.

Best Bet = Over 210.5

Oklahoma City @ New York

H2H Trends – 

  • OKC are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings in New York.
  • Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings

Win/Loss

OKC 13 14 9-4 4-10

New York 104.6 104.0 +0.6

Picks against the spread

Spread O/U Points Result
 OKC  Over  New York
 -2.0  203.0  111-96

Last night OKC needed 3 OT’s to finally escape with a 119-117 road victory at Philadelphia (Westbrook with 27 points, 18 rebounds, and 15 assists), and that should surely play into some fatigue tonight.

Porzingis (knee) is questionnable, so stay away until lineups are confirmed.

Best Bet  = OKC ML

 Dallas  Over  San Antonio
 +8.0  197.5  98-96

The battle of the Texans, and with the Spurs at home with a 6-1 advantage in statistical categories we can back against them. That line’s just too high though.

Dallas at the line and overs. Kawhi  looking sharp in limited minutes since his return.

Best Bet  =  Dallas +8.0

Boston @ Memphis

Picks against the spread

Spread O/U Points Result
 Boston  Under  Boston
 -5.0  193.5  102-93

The Grizzlies are tied for the worst record in the West at 8-20.

Boston are elite on defensvely, holding opponents to 98 points per game (2nd in the league) which could be damaging against a team like Memphis, who has struggled a lot with the offense, next to last in points per game at 97.2.

Boston to get the job done, and take the line.

Best Bet = Boston ML
