Tonight’s 4 NBA Previews
Portland @ New York
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Portland | 108.2 | 112.2 | -4.0 |
| New York | 102.4 | 106.2 | -3.8 |
The Say
Portland are just 1-7 ATS in their last 8, and being away at MSG that poor record may stretch with their poor depth.
The reliance of McCollum and Lillard may be starting to show on Portland, and a deeper attack will be necessary going forward if they are to be any kind of threat this year.
Porzingis is averaging over 20ppg with over 7 boards, and along with sidekicks Melo and Rose, they should get the job done at MSG.
If Porzingis can get some more plays set his way tonight, the Knicks will take the line.
Best Bet: New York WIN @1.83
Feeling Lucky: New York 1-10 @2.58
New Orleans @ Atlanta
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| New Orleans | 102.5 | 107.6 | -5.1 |
| Atlanta | 105.8 | 98.8 | +7.0 |
The Say
This one should be a forgone conclusion, and it is.
Best Bet: Atlanta WIN @1.28
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 210.0 @1.91 and Atlanta -8.0 @1.91. Either or both.
Chicago @ Denver
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Chicago | 105.2 | 98.9 | +6.3 |
| Denver | 105.9 | 106.9 | -1.0 |
The Say
We’ve been tossing this one up over a few drinks, and still have no real answers. A few more drinks might get one, nope.
The Bulls are playing some quality ball, however their woeful record in Denver, having not won since 2005 has us concerned. The Nuggets have beaten the Bulls nine straight times in Denver, and that right there is a hoodoo folks.
Wade comes back in after his scheduled day off to help his mates, but the deeper bench of the Nuggets puts them in prime position for the W. That and the high altitude.
Take the Total Points Overs and have a beer while doing so, you’ll need it.
Best Bet: Nope.
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 207.5 @1.91
Oklahoma City @ LA Lakers
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Oklahoma City | 105.3 | 103.8 | +1.5 |
| LA Lakers | 109.8 | 109.6 | +0.2 |
The Say
The Thunder are going for 10 straight over the Lakers, sure most of those were with KD, but it stands for something right? Nah…
The Lakers are 5-0 in the total points overs due to their All-Star basketball style of defense, and up against OKC, who play a similar style of turnstyle defense, this one should be a busy night for the boys at the scorers table.
Russell Westbrook is averaging 31.6ppg, 10.4apg and 9.4rpg. Those are the kinds of numbers I used to put up while giving the ball to Tracy McGrady 95% of the time in NBA Live 2005.
It’s the Total Points Overs here.
Best Bet: Total Points Over 221.0
Feeling Lucky: Los Angeles Lakers 1-10 @2.95
