Tonight’s 5 NBA Predictions
Orlando @ Indiana
Points +/- Rank
TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
Orlando | 95.0 | 104.1 | -9.1 |
Indiana | 108.4 | 112.0 | -3.6 |
The Say
The Magic might of shown the league last night who won out of the Ibaka/Oladipo trade with a win against the Thunder away from home. Now coach Vogel, after getting his teams best win so far, heads to Indiana to face his old team. The issue for us is that Indiana give us no confidence whatsoever and could be the early candidates to blow up earaly in 2016/17. With Orlando on a B2B, it might be best to skip here.
Best Bet: None as yet
Feeling Lucky: As Above
Oklahoma City @ Detroit
Points +/- Rank
TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
Oklahoma City | 104.6 | 102.6 | +2.0 |
Detroit | 97.7 | 97.0 | +0.7 |
The Say
After a disappointing loss to the Magic, Westbrook and the Thunder travel all the way to Auburn Hills which is a hard task especially on a B2B. Detroit haven’t dropped a game at home yet and should have too many offensive options in Harris and Morris at the PF/SF spots that Oklahoma may find difficult to cover.
Best Bet: Detroit +5.0 @1.70
Feeling Lucky: Detroit WIN @1.64
Miami @ San Antonio
Points +/- Rank
TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
Miami | 95.5 | 98.5 | -3.0 |
San Antonio | 101.9 | 96.7 | 5.2 |
The Say
This isn’t the same Spurs team we accustomed to with a home record of 2-3, and it just shows the hole Tim Duncan has left in terms of leadership and defense. Gasol will have a fun time with Whiteside breathing down his neck. Could be a lot of wild screams from the Spaniard. Spurs to grab win number 3 at home.
Best Bet: San Antonio -8.5 @1.50
Feeling Lucky: San Antonio -11.5 @1.85
Memphis @ Utah
Points +/- Rank
TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
Memphis | 97.0 | 102.6 | -5.6 |
Utah | 97.6 | 93.1 | +4.5 |
The Say
The Grizzlies are yet to break through on the road this season, and against the ultra-defensive Jazz away this will be very tough for the Grizzlies who have managed to cover the spread in only 3 of their last 1o games.
Tipping a Jazz win here in what will be a very ugly game to watch.
Best Bet: Utah -6.5 @1.91
Feeling Lucky: Nope. Just be happy with the spread.
Brooklyn @ LA Clippers
Points +/- Rank
TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
Brooklyn | 106.3 | 107.6 | -1.3 |
LA | 107 | 91.9 | +15.1 |
The Say
The Clips are rolling with a 9-1 record and should have no trouble sending the Nets packing with a 4-6 record.
The Clippers have an impressive +15.1 points differential, and the fact that the Nets have generally managed to keep contests close (Nets are 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings) keeps us away from the large spread.
Best Bet: Nope.
