New York Knicks @ Portland Trail Blazers – Portland WIN @1.16 (-625)


Toronto @ Miami

Picks against the spread

Spread Pick O/U Points Result
Toronto  Under  Toronto
 +4.5 204.0 101-84

Win/Loss

TEAM HOME ROAD
Toronto 24-12 18-17
Miami 21-15 14-21

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Toronto 107.1 103.3 +3.8
Miami 103.0 102.0 +1.0

Picks –

Miami 3-7, Toronto 4-6 over 10, with wins in their last 3.

This is a possible 1st round playoff preview,  where last year the Raptors eliminated Miami in the Eastern Conference semifinals, 4-3.

Whiteside has been white-hot lately, but a hand injury suffered against the Suns last out may have him sit this one out.

The Heat are 2-3 when Whiteside has sat this year, and we’re feeling some good vibes from the Raptors here at the line.

Best Bet: Toronto +4.5 @1.91 (-110)

Feeling Lucky: Nope.


Phoenix @ Brooklyn

Picks against the spread

Spread Pick O/U Points Result
Brooklyn  Under  Brooklyn
-4.0 223.0  126-98

Win/Loss

TEAM HOME ROAD
Phoenix 13-23 9-26
Brooklyn 9-27 5-29

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Phoenix 107.1 112.5 -5.4
Brooklyn 105.7 113.6 -7.9

Picks –

Brooklyn are 4-6, Phoenix 3-7 including 5 straight losses, 3 of those at home.

Brooklyn come up favorites for one of the very few times this season, and following a scrappy win over the Pistons last out, it’s hard to look past them here against a Suns outfit missing Brandon Knight, Eric Bledsoe and Tyson Chandle, all shut down for the rest of the season.

Brooklyn here..gulp!

Best Bet: Nope.

Feeling Lucky: Under 223.0 @1.91 (-110)


LA Clippers @ Dallas

Picks against the spread

Spread Pick O/U Points Result
LA Clippers  Under  Dallas
-4.0 206.5 97-95

Win/Loss

TEAM HOME ROAD
LA Clippers 23-11 20-18
Dallas 20-16 10-24

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
LA Clippers 108.2 104.8 +3.4
Dallas 98.0 100.4 -2.4

Picks –

Both are 4-6 over 10 with the Clippers pulling together 3 straight wins, including a 108-78 thumping of the Champs.

With a win tonight the Clippers can give a judge to the Jazz and keep their sights on taking the 4th seed, a scene which could be played out on Saturday where they again match up in LA.

With an eye on the prize the Clips will get over a Mavs team that among other issues, struggle on the road.

Best Bet: LA Clippers WIN @1.57 (-175)

Feeling Lucky: LA Clippers -4.0 @1.91 (-110)


Memphis @ San Antonio

Picks against the spread

Spread Pick O/U Points Result
San Antonio  Under  San Antonio
-8.5 198.0 97-90
TEAM HOME ROAD
Memphis 21-14 19-17
San Antonio 26-7 28-9

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Memphis 101.1 100.3 +0.8
San Antonio 106.4 98.6 +7.8

Picks –

The Spurs just about have the 2nd seed all wrapped up in the West but are yet to defeat the Grizzlies this season out of 2 attempts. With both of those losses coming in Memphis, San Antonio have a chance to prove the difference with home court advantage (3rd best home court record in the league).

Including Playoff games, the Spurs had won the last 9 games prior to this season while Memphis have not won at the AT&T Center since December 2014.

Best Bet: San Antonio WIN @1.25 (-400)

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 198.0 @1.91 (-110)


New York @ Portland

Picks against the spread

Spread Pick O/U Points Result
Portland  Under  Portland
-11.5 217.0 110-95

Win/Loss

TEAM HOME ROAD
New York 16-18 11-26
Portland 17-15 15-23

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
New York 105.2 108.7 -3.5
Portland 108.0 109.7 -1.7

Picks –

The Knicks have the worst record out of Eastern Conference teams in the last 10 games with 2-8 and playing the Blazers on the road during a B2B doesn’t make it easier. Portland have their own pressures with the chase for the number 8 seed heating up. Denver has a 1.5 game advantage but have the tougher schedule compared to Portland.

Best Bet: Portland WIN @1.16 (-625)

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 217.0 @1.91 (-110)
