Indiana 104.3 105.2 -0.9

Minnesota have lost their last , and with the Pacers at home, trying to bolster a nice playoff spot (tied 3 ways for 5th) we can’t see Indiana losing this one.

Milwaukee @ Charlotte

Picks against the spread

Spread Pick O/U Points Result
Milwaukee  Over  Milwaukee
+5.0 203.0 118-108

Win/Loss

Milwaukee 21-17 16-19
Charlotte 21-16 12-24

Milwaukee 104.4 104.2 +0.2
Charlotte 105.1 104.2 +0.9

Picks –

Milwaukee 7-3, Charlotte 5-5 over 10.

The Bucks had won 11 of 13 before falling to the Bulls at home last out, and now on the road to Charlotte, who’ve won 4 of their last 5, this one’s a toss-up, but the Bucks at the line is nice.

We’ll take the overs.

Best Bet: Nope.

Miami @ Detroit

Picks against the spread

Miami 102.8 102.1 +0.7
Detroit 101.2 102.5 -1.3

Picks –

The Pistons have lost 7 of their last 8, including recent losses to Chicago, Orlando and Brooklyn. We wouldn’t touch them with a 10 foot pole at this time. Van Gundy’s voice must just about have left for the season.

Miami have dropped their last 2, however with a day’s break we’ll take them to get the W on the road here.

Best Bet: Total Points Over 202.0 @1.91 (-110)

Feeling Lucky: Nope.

Brooklyn 106.0 113.3 -7.3

Picks –

Brooklyn have come to life over the last 10, going 5-5. The 76ers have gone 4-6.

The Nets entered March on a 16 game losing streak, however should chalk up another at home tonight, with Okafor looking to sit for the 76ers.

Feeling Lucky: Brooklyn -3.0 @1.91 (-110)


Golden State @ Houston

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Golden State 115.9 104.3 +11.6
Houston 115.8 108.8 +7.0

Picks –

The Warriors are due for a loss after being on a 7 game streak and could be the defining season moment for James Harden and the MVP race if the Rockets can get the win. Golden State might just not have enough without Durant on the court.

Best Bet: Houston WIN @1.87 (-115)

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 234.0 @1.91 (-110)


Denver @ Portland

Picks against the spread

-2.0 226.0 122-113

Win/Loss

Denver 21-18 14-20
Portland 19-15 16-23

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Denver 111.4 111.1 +0.3
Portland 108.0 109.0 -1.0

Picks –

With 9 games remaining, this is the most important for both teams as the winner is well on their way to secure the final playoff spot in the West. The Blazers currently own the tie breaker 2-1, at home and being the most inform side for the month of March, they are definitely in the box seat.

Best Bet: Portland WIN @1.76 (-132)

Feeling Lucky: Portland -2.0 @1.91 (-110)


Washington @ LA Lakers

Picks against the spread

Spread Pick O/U Points Result
Washington  Over  Washington
-9.0 226.0 119-108

Win/Loss

TEAM HOME ROAD
Washington 29-10 16-18
LA Lakers 13-23 8-29

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Washington 109.2 106.8 +2.4
LA Lakers 104.6 112.1 -7.5

Picks –

With the Celtics able to overthrow the Cavs for the 1st seed, the Wizards smell blood in the water and with an easy opponent tonight in the Lakers, the pressure is surely on. LA have to work on their tanking technique with the Suns only half a game ahead.

Best Bet: Washington WIN @1.18 (-556)

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 226.0 @1.91 (-110)
