14.03.15 – Sacramento Kings 107 @ Philadelphia 76ers 114

Picks –

Best Bet: Total Points Over 206.0 @-110 – The 76ers have averaged 111 points per game in their last 5 which has us licking our lips on the Overs tonight. Previous encounters prove this matchup will be a close one.

Feeling Lucky: Philadelphia WIN @-105 – The Process Embiid sat out last night’s loss to the Bulls so he could be ready for a home court showdown against a Top 3 Center. It’s about time we started to believe.


Brooklyn @ Miami

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Brooklyn 106.0 115.2 -9.2
Miami 99.5 102.3 -2.8

Last 5

26.01.17 – Miami Heat 109 @ Brooklyn Nets 106
12.10.16 – Brooklyn Nets 100 @ Miami Heat 121
29.03.16 – Brooklyn Nets 99 @ Miami Heat 110
27.01.16 – Miami Heat 102 @ Brooklyn Nets 98
29.12.15 – Brooklyn Nets 111 @ Miami Heat 105

Picks –

Best Bet: Miami WIN @-500 – Very short but the Heat have won 7 straight and should have no issue in reaching number 8 against a team they recently defeated on the road. However, if you like more value, take the Feeling Lucky suggestion.

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 217.0 @-110 – The Heat have averaged 107 points during their 7 game steak and were able to keep the Warriors to 102 points.


Orlando @ Minnesota

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Orlando 99.7 105.4 -5.7
Minnesota 104.0 104.7 -0.7

10.11.16 – Minnesota Timberwolves 123 @ Orlando Magic 107
02.12.15 – Orlando Magic 96 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 93
19.11.15 – Minnesota Timberwolves 101 @ Orlando Magic 104 – OT
04.04.15 – Orlando Magic 97 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 84
08.11.14 – Minnesota Timberwolves 103 @ Orlando Magic 112 – OT

Picks –

Best Bet: Leave this one alone – The Magic were able to match the best offensive team in their Conference and came home with the road win. They have had their blowouts at home but seem to galvanise on the road with a 11-15 record (Best outside of top 4).

Feeling Lucky: Minnesota -7 @-110 – If you fancy a home win against a team on a B2B, take this.


Detroit @ Boston

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Boston 108.1 105.7 +2.4
Detroit 100.6 101.6 -1.0

Last 5

01.12.16 – Detroit Pistons 121 @ Boston Celtics 114
20.11.16 – Boston Celtics 94 @ Detroit Pistons 92
04.02.16 – Detroit Pistons 95 @ Boston Celtics 102
07.01.16 – Detroit Pistons 99 @ Boston Celtics 94
27.12.15 – Boston Celtics 99 @ Detroit Pistons 93

Picks –

Best Bet: Boston WIN @-270 – Boston are in some nice form, while the Pistons have lost their last two, breaking a streak of 3 wins before that.

Horford is unlikely with a strained groin, however if he suits up jump aboard the Celtics at the line. Watch for the final line-ups. Celts win either way.

Feeling Lucky: Boston -5.5@-110 or the total points overs line, which is 10-2 in Celtics last 12 home games


Cleveland @ Dallas

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Cleveland 110.0 105.4 +4.6
Dallas 96.7 100.1 -3.4

Last 5

26.11.16 – Dallas Mavericks 90 @ Cleveland Cavaliers 128
17.03.16 – Dallas Mavericks 98 @ Cleveland Cavaliers 99
13.01.16 – Cleveland Cavaliers 110 @ Dallas Mavericks 107 – OT
20.10.15 – Dallas Mavericks 97 @ Cleveland Cavaliers 103
11.03.15 – Cleveland Cavaliers 127 @ Dallas Mavericks 94

Picks –

Best Bet: Cleveland -6.0 @-110 – The Mavs have won 6 of their last 10, with the Cavs 5/5 over the same stretch. The Cavs taking the last 5 wins in this matchup.

Lebron is leading the league in minutes per game, and his recent comments regarding management not being dedicated to winning could either help or harm the team n the short run. We’ll go with it helping, the King knows how to play the management fiddle.

Love will sit with back spasms, while Irving and the King will play despite speculations of a scheduled rest for the big 3.

Feeling Lucky: It won’t bet a blowout. Look for Cleveland WIN 1-10 @+178


Memphis @ Phoenix

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Memphis 99.9 99.6 +0.3
Phoenix 106.6 112.0 -5.4

Last 5

22.03.16 – Memphis Grizzlies 103 @ Phoenix Suns 97
07.03.16 – Phoenix Suns 109 @ Memphis Grizzlies 100
28.02.16 – Memphis Grizzlies 106 @ Phoenix Suns 111
07.12.15 – Phoenix Suns 93 @ Memphis Grizzlies 95
03.02.15 – Memphis Grizzlies 102 @ Phoenix Suns 101

Picks –

Best Bet: Memphis WIN @ -172 – The Grizzlies are finding it tough to pull some kind of run together, with seemingly every win followed by a loss. There no such thing as a winning streak for the Grizzlies, and tonight they have a good chance for another two win streak while facing a Phoenix team that’s lost their last 3.

Grizzlies have won 5 of the last 7 games in Phoenix, and after tonight it will be 6 of 8 in a tight one. The under is 9-2 over the last 11 in Phoenix. Still waiting on the lines though, stay tuned…

Feeling Lucky: Memphis -3.5 @-110
