| Memphis | 97.6 | 97.8 | -0.2 |
Picks –

Feeling Lucky: Memphis 11+ @2.68 – The Grizzlies are in some rare form, and will overrun a thin Cavs lineup. Unless of course Dunleavy, Frye and Felder fill the shoes of the big 3…… nah.

| Sacramento | 102.8 | 103.5 | -0.7 |
| Houston | 112.0 | 106.2 | +5.8 |
Picks –
Best Bet: Houston -9.0 @1.91 – Sacramento are playing like the ultimate bottom feeders, give them a team over .500 and it’s lights out for them. Houston are so hot right now.

Best Bet: Detroit WIN @1.50 – Confident with this one. Dirk and Barea continue to sit, and until they return, no outlays on the Mavs from our end.
Feeling Lucky: Detroit -4.5 @1.91 – Despite an impressive win over the Nuggets last out, the Mavs will succumb to a rested Detroit.
Oklahoma City @ Utah
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Oklahoma City | 106.2 | 104.7 | +1.5 |
| Utah | 100.5 | 95.5 | +5.0 |
Picks –
Best Bet: Utah WIN @1.46 – It been 4 days since the Jazz last took to the court, and they should take care of a Thunder team that went down the Blazes in Portland last night by 19.
Feeling Lucky: Utah -5.5 @1.91 – Favors to return for the Jazz. If Oladipo sits again take this. Watch the health meters.
Boston @ San Antonio
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Boston | 104.5 | 103.0 | +1.5 |
| San Antonio | 103.4 | 97.8 | +5.6 |
Picks –

Feeling Lucky: Take the Best Bet
