All-Star game defense on display in Phoenix

Tonight’s NBA betting tips

Milwaukee @ Cleveland

Picks –

Best Bet: Cleveland WIN @1.25 – Love will return but we saw what the Bucks can do on a B2B when they had the Bulls twice last week. Stay away.

Feeling Lucky: The Under when available


Memphis @ Detroit

Picks –

Best Bet: Detroit WIN @1.42 – Memphis are on a B2B where they went into OT. Home court for the Pistons is strong.

Feeling Lucky: Under 188.5 @1.70 – Both teams are defense first.


Minnesota @ Atlanta

Picks –

Best Bet: Atlanta WIN @1.44 – With or without Dwight Howard won’t make a difference against the disappointing Wolves.

Feeling Lucky: Atlanta -5.5 @1.91.


Washington @ Chicago

Picks –

Best Bet: Over 203.5 @1.48 – The Wizards have scored over 100 points per game in their last 6.

Feeling Lucky: Over 209.5 @1.91


Oklahoma @ New Orleans

Picks –

Best Bet: Oklahoma City WIN @1.81 – A day’s break and a rested Russ should get the Thunder over the line against a Pelicans team that disposed of the 76ers last night.

Feeling Lucky: Oklahoma City -2.0 @1.91 – Not that confident with anything else here.


Houston @ Phoenix

Picks –

Best Bet: Houston WIN @1.44 – The Spurs handed the Rockets a loss last night, which broke their 10 game winning streak. They may be a little tired, however the Suns are a very average NBA basketball team with a 4-8 home record.

Feeling Lucky: Over 222.0 @1.91 – The Suns have no defense and despite a great season record, the Rockets stink it up defensively also. The scoreboard operators will be busy tonight.


Sacramento @ Utah

Picks –

Best Bet: Utah -8.0 @1.91 – Utah have won 7 of their last 10, and have a 10-5 home record. The Kings are 5-11 on the road and are likely still without Rudy Gay. No reason to tip the Kings here.

Feeling Lucky: Utah 11+ @2.46 – The last time these two met earlier this month, Utah walked away with a 20 point win. History may repeat.


Dallas @ Portland

Picks –

Best Bet: Nope. – Dallas are dead last in the West, however both have been in pretty awful form. No confident tip here whatsoever.

Feeling Lucky: Portland -7.5 @1.91 – The healthy and available talent that the Blazers has has the ability to get the job done.
