RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
4 | Utah | 93.3 | 85 | +8.3 |
3 | Cleveland | 102.1 | 92.9 | +9.2 |
The Best Bet : Cleveland WIN @ $1.38
Feeling Lucky: Cleveland 1-10 (*no odds yet). Although we’d expect the Cavs to get it done relatively easily at home, the Utah defense is ranked #1 in the NBA, and it will be a tight one.
OKC at Washington

RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
8 | Oklahoma | 113.3 | 107.9 | +5.4 |
22 | Washington | 102.5 | 108 | -5.5 |
The Best Bet : OKC 1-10 points. Durant averaging 30.1 pts, Westbrook 26.3 pts there’s enough firepower in the Thunder for the win. With Washington on the wrong side of the +/- we will take OKC, but not by a streak.
Feeling Lucky: Nope.
LA Lakers at Miami

RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
26 | LA Lakers | 104.3 | 110.7 | -6.4 |
5 | Miami | 96.6 | 90.4 | +6.2 |
The Best Bet : Under 202 @ $1.91. Miami is ranked #2 for Points Against at 90.4, with Points For ranked at #25th at 96.6. With the Lakers a mediocre team, this game shouldn’t yield too many points.
Feeling Lucky: Miami Heat 11-15 @ $5.15
New York at Toronto

RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
10 | Toronto | 99 | 95.1 | +3.9 |
17 | New York | 100.1 | 100.4 | -0.3 |
The Best Bet : Toronto WIN @ $1.25. We will take the Toronto win here, but a 20 point loss to the Heat in their last outing doesn’t give us high hopes that they are firing on all cylinders.
Feeling Lucky: Nope.
Boston at Milwaukee
+ |
+/- 1 |
– |
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
20 | Milwaukee | 97.7 | 101 | -3.3 |
11 | Boston | 103.6 | 100.2 | +3.4 |
The Best Bet : Milwaukee WIN @ $1.89. Although the over under is close, we will stick with the Bucks, who are coming off 4 straight wins. The Celtics lost to the Wizards by 20 in their last outing, and we will stick with the team with the momentum, Bucks for the win.
Feeling Lucky: The Bucks may have confidence here but we don’t. Not feeling lucky.
Charlotte at Minnesota

+/- 2.5 |
+ |
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
15 | Charlotte | 102 | 101.3 | +0.7 |
12 | Minnesota | 98.8 | 96.8 | +2 |
The Best Bet : Minnesota WIN @ $2.18. Coming off wins over Atlanta and the Bulls puts the Timberwolves in our thoughts. Charlotte are at home though, and have the fresher legs with 2 extra days off, and wins over Dallas and the Bulls before a loss to the Spurs..
Feeling Lucky: Nope.
Dallas at New Orleans
