Tonight’s 10 NBA Betting Picks
Toronto @ Washington
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Toronto | 101.7 | 95.7 | +6.0 |
| Washington | 101.0 | 113.0 | -12.0 |
The Say
Already over a week into the season and the Wizards have only suited up for two games for two loses. Their first game at home may be the lucky charm but the Raptors are showing last year’s second place in the East was not a fluke. Too tough to split as we still aren’t sure what Washington has to offer.
Best Bet: Toronto +5.5 @1.44
Feeling Lucky: Toronto WIN @1.86
Philadelphia @ Charlotte
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Philadelphia | 90.0 | 103.3 | -13.3 |
| Charlotte | 100.7 | 97.0 | +3.7 |
The Say
The 76ers are playing the rotation game with their big men with Embiid having a rest for Okafor for tonight’s game. After coming short against Orlando last night, the tired legs of Philly wont have the zip to keep it close away to Charlotte.
Best Bet: Charlotte -5.5 @1.22
Feeling Lucky: Charlotte -12.5 @1.86
Detroit @ Brooklyn
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Detroit | 99.8 | 90.8 | +9.0 |
| Brooklyn | 104.0 | 111.0 | -7.0 |
The Say
Are the Nets a genuine threat at home in Brooklyn? Against the Pistons whom are coming off a nice win at home to the Knicks, this could be another win for the team no-one rated to have a win this early into the year. For Detroit, this will be a good chance to be 4-1 and off to a great start while missing PG Reggie Jackson. Can’t ignore those odds for the Pistons, even if its on a back to back.
Best Bet: Detroit WIN @1.50
Feeling Lucky: Detroit -4.5 @1.89
Houston @ New York
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Houston | 108.3 | 109.5 | -1.2 |
| New York | 96.0 | 107.7 | -11.7 |
The Say
Both teams are coming off tough losses last night. The Rockets may be undermanned with Trevor Ariza 50/50 to take the court after receiving stitches last night. We are sure that would be a big relief for Melo. Out of the two, the Knicks were the most disappointing last night, pretty much not even showing up in the last quarter when the game was on the line. At home, they should be better.
Best Bet: Over 210.5 @1.49
Feeling Lucky: Houston WIN @2.95
LA Lakers @ Atlanta
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| LA Lakers | 103.3 | 109.5 | -6.2 |
| Atlanta | 108.0 | 88.7 | +19.3 |
The Say
The Lakers are still on the road and are on three game slide, and it doesn’t get easier for them tonight against the undefeated Hawks. Young team and tired legs wont hold up tonight – Hawks to cruise.
Best Bet: Atlanta -3.5 @1.20
Feeling Lucky: Atlanta -11.5 @1.92
New Orleans @ Memphis
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| New Orleans | 102.0 | 111.0 | -9.0 |
| Memphis | 99.5 | 107.0 | -7.5 |
The Say
Memphis basically took the evening off last night by resting Gasol and Conley against the Wolves, and the game was done by half time. The duo will be back tonight and will send the Pelicans 0-5.
Best Bet: Memphis WIN @1.44
Feeling Lucky: Memphis -5.5 @1.92
Chicago @ Boston
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Chicago | 113.7 | 96.0 | +17.7 |
| Boston | 108.3 | 106.7 | +1.6 |
The Say
Do you hear that? That’s the sound of the bandwagon coming past your house, and there are plenty crammed inside. Whether you want to get on the Bulls train this early is up to you, but one thing is for sure, they are great to watch at the moment. With Rondo running the floor, D-Wade (16 ppg) bringing back some vintage slashing form and Jimmy Butler (20.7 ppg) playing all-round ball the Bulls are unbeaten.
This may be the one that breaks the Bulls “streak”, with the Celtic depth a little longer than Chicago’s with Horford, Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley and Crowder proving a handful. Should be a lot of scoring here.
Best Bet: Total points over 211.5
Feeling Lucky: Nope.
Dallas @ Utah
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Utah | 95.3 | 95.3 | 0.0 |
| Dallas | 103.7 | 109.7 | -6.0 |
The Say
The Jazz shook the world last night in a 106-91 win over the Spurs in San Antonio, and the sound of thousands of parlays could be heard dying the world over. Dallas are still yet to have their maiden win, and it may be the same here tonight against a Jazz team that is younger and full of confidence.
George Hill is leading the Jazz with 20 ppg, and the new look supporting cast is doing just that. Defense wins here in what will be an ugly game to watch.
Best Bet: Utah WIN @1.51
Feeling Lucky: Utah 1-10 @2.39.
Portland @ Phoenix
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Portland | 109.5 | 114.5 | -5.0 |
| Phoenix | 100.5 | 112.0 | -11.5 |
The Say
Portland threw up a fight in a 127-104 loss to the Warriors last night, and our certainty tip of -5.0 for the Warriors was money for jam. Tonight the Blazers take on Phoenix, who have been equally leaky defensively. Should be plenty of points here, so go for the total points overs.
Best Bet: Total points over 213.0
Feeling Lucky: Nope.
Oklahoma City @ LA Clippers
Points +/- Rank
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Oklahoma City | 109.7 | 101.0 | +8.7 |
| LA Clippers | 106.0 | 93.0 | +13.0 |
The Say
Things are a little different over in OKC now that KD has left for the enemy, but one thing remains the same, Russell Westbrook is a freak, and has single handedly taken the Thunder to 3-0. In LA tonight it may be a little different however, with the Clippers depth being just a little too much for the Thunder. Westbrook may keep it to single figures for the Thunder.
As said previously, Westbrook for MVP @3.80 is still handy.
Best Bet: LA Clippers WIN @1.33
Feeling Lucky: LA Clippers 1-10 @ 2.39
