Atlanta @ Charlotte

Picks against the spread

Charlotte  Under  Charlotte
 -5.5 203.5 105-90

Win/Loss

TEAM HOME ROAD
Atlanta 19-17 18-15
Charlotte 19-15 11-24

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Atlanta 103.6 104.5 -0.9
Charlotte 104.8 104.2 +0.6

Picks –

Charlotte burnt us last out with a 98-93 win over the Wizards at home and tonight they take on an Atlanta team that’s lost their last 3, and 6 of their last 10.

The Hornets are a different team at home, and with the Hawks without Millsap and super-sub Bazemore, the Hornets gain favoritism with the bookies, and us.

Best Bet: Charlotte WIN @1.43 (-232)

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 203.5 @1.91 (-110)


Philadelphia @ Orlando

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Philadelphia 102.3 107.5 -5.2
Orlando 100.0 106.5 -6.5

Picks –

Over 10 the Magic have spluttered to 3-7, with the 76ers 4-6.

Philly has won their last 2 against Dallas and Boston, and look the form side of the two. Neither of these two are in full tank mode just yet, and this really is a toss up. Awful records all-round and no real gauge to go off.

Best Bet: Nope.

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 211.0 @1.91 (-110)


Utah @ Indiana

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Utah 100.3 96.3 +4.0
Indiana 104.1 105.1 -1.0

Picks –

The Pacers are just flat out a torch to our pockets, and with a form line of LWLWLWLWLWLW over their last 12, they really are not worth putting any coin on in any circumstance.

We’ll take Utah on the road with a decent 20-15 record and a day’s break with the return of George Hill to his old home-court. They will be looking to regain some form having lost their last 2. It won’t be 3 in a row.

Best Bet:  Utah WIN @1.73 (-136)

Feeling Lucky: Utah -2.5 @1.91 (-110)


Washington @ Boston

Picks against the spread

Boston 23-9 21-17

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Washington 108.9 106.8 +2.1
Boston 107.4 105.0 +2.4

Picks –

Boston lost to the 76ers  last out in Philly, while the Wizards fell to the Hornets in Charlotte.

Both are 6-4 over their last 10, and with a history of fisticuffs in recent times this one could be interesting with a TF or two probable. The Wizards have beaten the Celtics twice this season at home, however the Celtics have won 10 of their last 11 at TD Garden.

Isaiah Thomas is probable to sit again with a knee bruise, so watch for lineups closer to the tip. Take the Celts at the line if he suits.

Best Bet: Boston WIN @1.64  (-156)

Feeling Lucky: Boston -3.5 @1.91 (-110) – If Thomas suits


Golden State @ Oklahoma

Golden State 116.2 104.9 +11.3
OKC 106.9 106.0 +0.9

Picks –

The Warriors have got their groove back and get to face the Westbrook train for a 4th time this season where they own the series 3-0. Mind you, these wins were all with Kevin Durant in the lineup where the average winning margin was 21 points. Without KD could be a different story, and the Warriors will need the Splash Brothers to keep up the pace.

Best Bet: Golden State WIN @1.80 (-125)

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 221.0 @1.91 (-110)

Picks –

The second leg of a double header sees Houston go back home to sweep the Nuggets in the season series. Winning by 4 in Denver the other day, the Rockets will continue to live and die by the three ball.

Best Bet: Houston WIN @1.24 (-417)

Feeling Lucky: Houston -8.5 @1.91 (-110)

New York 105.3 108.6 -3.3
LA Clippers 107.7 104.7 +3.0

Picks –

The Clippers were trying to find themselves over the last week and it didn’t help when the Cavs basically handed a win by resting all their players. Melo gets another chance to see how life is on the West Coast where he was rumored to be moved before the deadline. Porzingis is back but this isn’t the best matchup for him first up taking on DeAndre and Blake. Clippers at home.

Best Bet: LA Clippers WIN @1.16 (-625)

Feeling Lucky: LA Clippers -10.5 @1.91 (-110)
