Chicago have lost the last 4, and 4-6 over 10, Charlotte have split their last 1o.

Charlotte at home with a day’s rest will get it done, but that lines too high for us.

23.01.14 – Dallas Mavericks 85 @ Toronto Raptors 93

Picks –

Both are 4-6 over their last 10.

Noel could return for the Mavs, but a rusty Nerlens will do nothing to help an 8-22 road record.

Toronto at home with the skinny line.

Best Bet: Toronto WIN @1.56 (-174)

15.03.15 – Milwaukee Bucks 83 @ Memphis Grizzlies 96
09.11.14 – Memphis Grizzlies 92 @ Milwaukee Bucks 93

Picks –

Milwaukee have won their last 6, while the Grizzlies have lost their last 5 (and losing big).

At home Memphis used to be a sure thing, however a drop off in their trademark defense has led coach Fizdale to throw the lineup around ad nauseam.

Well take the home team to turn it around by the slightest of margins, but not at the line.

Toss a coin.

Best Bet: Nope.

Feeling Lucky: Milwaukee +4.0 @1.91 (-110)

26.02.15 – Washington Wizards 77 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 97
17.12.14 – Minnesota Timberwolves 95 @ Washington Wizards 109

Picks –

We’ve won a lot of money on the Wizards of late, so this one raises the eyebrows.

Washington has won 5 straight and 7-3 over 10, Minnesota are in their own decent form with 6-4 over 10 including their 2 most recent wins over the Warriors and Clippers.

A level .500 road record for the Wizards here, and we’ll roll with our boys once more.

Best Bet: Washington +2.0 @1.91 (-110)

Feeling Lucky: Nope.

23.03.15 – San Antonio Spurs 114 @ Atlanta Hawks 95
06.11.14 – Atlanta Hawks 92 @ San Antonio Spurs 94

Picks –

The game of the day here, and at the AT&T Center Pop’s boys usually know what’s up.

San Antonio are 9-1 over 10, while the Hawks have split their last 10, winning their last 3.

Who the Spurs actually put on the court could determine this one, with Kawhi Leonard (concussion protocol), LaMarcus Aldridge (minor heart arrhythmia) and guard Tony Parker (back stiffness).

Parker is likely to play, but this one could be a no go zone for punters.

Best Bet: Nope.

Feeling Lucky: Atlanta +6.0 @1.91 (-110)

26.11.15 – Utah Jazz 102 @ Los Angeles Clippers 91

Picks –

In what is shaping to be a first round playoff matchup, the Jazz hold the home court advantage for now but really struggle against the Clippers. LA have won both games this season pretty easily and have won the contest between the two sides 9 out of the last 10.

Best Bet: Total Points Under @TBC (-110)

Feeling Lucky: LA Clippers WIN @2.09 (+109)

23.12.15 – Los Angeles Lakers 111 @ Denver Nuggets 107

Picks –

This is simple. The Nuggets want to win while the Lakers don’t. If anyone watched a healthy LA at home last night against a very injury depleted 76ers, you can see they have no intentions to win.

Best Bet: Total Points Under 231.0 @1.91 (-110)

Feeling Lucky: Denver -12.5 @1.95 (-105)

07.03.15 – Sacramento Kings 114 @ Orlando Magic 119
07.12.14 – Orlando Magic 105 @ Sacramento Kings 96

Picks –

When you get two teams like this matching up, the best way is to go the home team, especially when its cross-conference.

The Kings have lost 8 straight and the Magic aren’t that much better. Take Brooklyn out of the equation and they are the worst team in the East. However, Orlando have a good road record which funnily enough is better than their home record.

Best Bet: Nope

Feeling Lucky: Sacramento +1.0 @1.95 (-105)
