Tonight’s 10 NBA Games:

Portland @ Houston

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
15 Portland 102.2 102.3 -0.1
17 Houston 105.4 106.5 -1.1

The Say

Houston like Chicago are choose at your own risk. If they were playing the Lakers then yes…. But against any other team, we’ll go the spread.

Best Bet: Portland +10.5 @1.44

Feeling Lucky: Portland WIN @2.65


Washington @ Charlotte

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
23 Washington 102.6 105.6 -3.0
12 Charlotte 101.7 101.2 +0.5

The Say

The Hornets are coming off a tough loss at home to Miami while Washington had the training drill against the 76ers. Both teams are making a push for that 8th position. Wizards looking good to make it close.

Best Bet: Washington +10.5 @1.38

Feeling Lucky: Either team by less than 7 @2.44


Detroit @ Indiana

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
10 Detroit 102.2 100.7 +1.5
8 Indiana 102.9 100.1 +2.8

The Say

Indiana are on the second half of a back to back while the Pistons are down KCP. Another hard one to split with both teams neck and neck in the standings. Pacers home record could be the decider.

Best Bet: Under 215.5 @1.31

Feeling Lucky: Indiana -3.5 @1.85


New Orleans @ Cleveland

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
22 New Orleans 102.4 105.1 -2.7
4 Cleveland 102.3 96.7 +5.6

The Say

New Orleans fell to the Lakers at home which pretty much puts them at rock bottom and blow up territory. Cleveland had one of the most unbelievable losses in recent time leading by 4 with 7 seconds left. They were a best bet for us yesterday, the Cavs would have to be a sure thing tonight.

Best Bet: Cleveland -6.5 @1.55

Feeling Lucky: Cleveland -9.5 @1.89


Brooklyn @ Philadelphia

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
28 Brooklyn 95.6 103.2 -7.6
30 Philadelphia 94.8 105.4 -10.6

The Say

Maybe Brooklyn, maybe Philly…. Flip a coin. With the Nets with no real incentive to tank, they have the advantage.

Best Bet: Over 193.5 @1.29

Feeling Lucky: Brooklyn WIN @2.02


Dallas @ Memphis

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
16 Dallas 100.4 100.9 -0.5
18 Memphis 97.7 99.0 -1.3

The Say

Memphis are 9-1 in their last 10 while the Mavs haven’t had the best luck on the road with some big losses of late.

Best Bet: Memphis WIN @1.37

Feeling Lucky: Memphis -5.5 @1.75


Chicago @ Minnesota

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
13 Chicago 101.4 101.1 +0.3
25 Minnesota 99.9 103.7 -3.8

The Say

With Jimmy Butler down, the Bulls are vulnerable. However, it’s against the Wolves who are probably one step on the plane to All-Star weekend. Wait, Minnesota just beat the Clippers, this will be close.

Best Bet: Under 210.5 @1.51

Feeling Lucky: Chicago WIN @1.83


LA Lakers @ San Antonio

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
29 LA Lakers 96.3 106.2 -9.9
1 San Antonio 104.6 91.3 +13.3

The Say

Kobe’s last visit to San Antonio. There will be a lot of love flowing in the air, would be awkward to show a highlight reel, maybe a message from Duncan holding 5 rings. Spurs will win.

Best Bet: San Antonio -8.5 @1.24

Feeling Lucky: San Antonio 11+ @1.50


Utah @ Phoenix

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
11 Utah 97.6 96.4 +1.2
27 Phoenix 100.6 106.5 -5.9

The Say

The incentive is there for Utah to win these types of games to secure a post season spot. Their lineup in terms of health is the polar opposite to Phoenix and should power on through.

Best Bet: Utah WIN @$1.44

Feeling Lucky: Utah 1-10 @$2.45


Oklahoma @ Golden State

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
3 Oklahoma 109.7 101.6 +8.1
2 Golden State 115.4 102.7 +12.7

The Say

Another test for the Warriors in which they are passing in flying colours. This could be the Western Conference Final rehearsal with the first of three bouts to be played. Rule of thumb is don’t go for the upset against the Warriors.

Best Bet: Golden State -2.5 @$1.37

Feeling Lucky: Over 242.5 @$3.65
