Tonight’s 5 NBA Games Tips

Charlotte @ Cleveland

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Charlotte 105.9 98.8 +7.1
Cleveland 110.6 103.1 +7.5

The Say

The Cavs are rolling and have a clean bill of health. They were challenged at times by the Wizards last out but were able to take control after halftime. They will have a similar oppenent in the Hornets who have a superstar point guard in the making in Kemba Walker. Without MKG on the defensive end to help stop LeBron, it will be difficult for Charlotte to get a win away.

Best Bet: Cleveland WIN @1.26

Feeling Lucky: Over 208.5 @1.93


Orlando @ Oklahoma City

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Orlando 92.3 102.7 -10.4
Oklahoma City 103.2 100.8 +2.4

The Say

Serge and Russ get re-acquainted while Oladipo gets to thank his lucky stars he isn’t on this struggling Orlando team. The Magic have lost three in a row and we cant see them stopping Westbrook, even if Ibaka has to matchup against him. Thunder for win number seven.

Best Bet: Oklahoma WIN @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Over 203.5 @1.87


LA Lakers @ Minnesota

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
LA Lakers 109.6 105.8 +3.8
Minnesota 105.8 105.9 -0.1

The Say

Both teams are up and coming and also on the second leg of a back to back. Lucky for Minnesota, they remained at home and go into this contest as favourites on that basis. Although, without a legitimate point guard running the show, the likes of Russell, Clarkson and Lou could have their way on both ends. Julius Randle will have his hands full again with Towns after defending AD last night. The Lakers have their best start since before the Dwight Howard fiasco and will need some luck to steal this one.

Best Bet: Too close to call.

Feeling Lucky: Over 214.5 @1.91


Phoenix @ Golden State

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Phoenix 107.2 113.9 -6.7
Golden State 114.6 106.9 +7.7

The Say

Golden State are starting to look a little bit like the team that we thought they’d be this year. The Suns are playing the second of a back to back, and with Tyson Chandler looking to sit again, the Warriors will be alleviated of some of their rim protection worries. This game should be quick, with both teams ranking highly for pace of play, and a shootout is on the cards.

Golden State for the win all day, with a sprinkle of total points overs. Not touching that -16.0 line.

Best Bet: Golden State 11+ @1.38

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 230.0 @1.91


Denver @ Portland

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Denver 104.0 107.8 -3.8
Portland 108.4 111.7 -3.3

The Say

Denver head to Portland on the second of a back to back, and it’s a game that the young Blazers should be confident of winning. One glaring stat is that the Total Points Overs is 8-0 in Portland’s last 8 home games. The below par defensive prowess of either side so far this season makes us lean towards the total points line in this one, in what is likely a Blazers win.

Best Bet: Portland WIN @1.54

Feeling Lucky: Total Points over 216.0 @1.91, and Portland -5.5 @1.91. Either of those…
