Tonight’s 5 NBA Betting Tips

Atlanta @ Charlotte

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Atlanta 107.8 98.2 +9.6
Charlotte 105.5 99.8 +5.7

The Say

Atlanta are equal on top of the East with the Cavs by the help of a 6 game streak mostly done with big man Dwight Howard on the sidelines. The concerns for them is that they are due for a loss and their opponent in Charlotte have been playing solid ball themselves. With no certainty in Howard playing, along with Sefolosha also a doubt, the Hornets may be able to break the streak.

Best Bet: Atlanta +12.5 @1.22

Feeling Lucky: Under 206.5 @1.91


Phoenix @ Indiana

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Phoenix 108.0 116.0 -8.0
Indiana 106.3 106.8 -0.5

The Say

Indiana got their best win of the season defeating the Cavs last out but they got a little help with LeBron sitting with the crowd. Again at home against a Suns team who have a 1-6 record on the road thies result should be no different.

The Pacers offense has been down in the past two games but against a high scoring Phoenix should change that.

Best Bet: Indiana WIN @1.29

Feeling Lucky: Over 219.0 @ 1.91


Detroit @ Cleveland

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Detroit 98.6 96.9 +1.7
Cleveland 109.0 103.5 +5.5

 

The Say

Cleveland dropped their last game without LeBron to no surprise. Love and Kyrie were still able to keep the contest close but you cant cover the dominance of a player averaging 23ppg/9rpg/10apg this season.

The Cavs home record is solid at 6-1 while the Pistons are the complete opposite on the road at 1-6.

Cleveland are averaging almost 5 points more per game and with LeBron back in the lineup, the points over will be achievable. Hopefully JR Smith can return to make that official.

Best Bet: Cleveland WIN @1.23

Feeling Lucky: Over 205.0 @1.91


Portland @ New Orleans

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Portland 107 111.3 -4.3
New Orleans 100.1 107.4 -7.3

The Say

The Blazers are on the second of a back-to-back here, and they’ll be tired after being run off the court by Houston last night in a 126-109 loss away with McCollum having 26 and Lillard having 18 points.

With Davis still questionable with a quadricep injury, its the Blazers to win and cover the spread.

Best Bet: Portland WIN @1.49

Feeling Lucky: Portland -4.5 @1.91


Golden State @ Boston

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Golden State 117.4 109.4 +8.0
Boston 106.3 105.8 +0.5

The Say

The Warriors have won five straight and are seriously good value at -7.0 here, not even gonna hesitate to take that. Last out in Toronto Steph Curry hit up 35, while low key signing Kevin Durant snuck in with a cheeky 30 points of his own.

Durant and Curry are both averaging 27.9ppg, and against a Celtics team that has been missing Crowder and Horford with injury over the last few games, we’ll take the line all day. Both Crowder and Horford may return, but they will be missing that extra 10% that is needed to push their team past the Warriors.

Best Bet: Golden State -7.0 @1.91

Feeling Lucky: Golden State 11+ @2.68
