17.03.16 – Orlando Magic 99 @ Charlotte Hornets 107
23.01.16 – Charlotte Hornets 120 @ Orlando Magic 116 – OT
Picks –
Both are 4-6 over the last 10, with the more impressive wins coming the way of the Hornets with W’s over Miami twice, Atlanta and Orlando (not so much).
This one belongs in the “Do Not Touch” basket, however Charlotte have been decent at home, while the Magic have been below par on the road. Like that line for the Magic at the line.
Toss the coin.

22.03.16 – Golden State Warriors 109 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 104
13.11.15 – Golden State Warriors 129 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 116
Picks –
Both are 6-4 over their last 10.
Golden State haven’t been the same since KD went down, and some of that could be due to the fact that Steph Curry currently couldn’t throw a basketball into the ocean without hitting the sand.
With KAT looking every bit the beast and Rubio and Wiggins doing they’re thing, this suits up as a danger game for a team trying to regather their ‘Splash Brothers’ persona.
The T-Wolves have had the best defensive rating since the All-Star break, however that -5.0 line for the Warriors is just too tempting.
Best Bet: Golden State WIN @1.48 (-212)
Feeling Lucky: Golden State -5.0 @1.91 (-110)

05.02.15 – Chicago Bulls 90 @ Houston Rockets 101
06.01.15 – Houston Rockets 105 @ Chicago Bulls 114
Picks –
The Bulls are 5-5, Rockets are 6-4 over their last 10.
Chicago have lost their last 3, and haven’t lost 4 in a row all season. Dwayne Wade should return which may help the Bulls stop a slide against a Rockets team that will be spurred on by the chance to give Mike D’Antoni his 500th career win (probably a reach).
Like the Rockets here, a solid road record gives us confidence.

11.03.16 – Atlanta Hawks 96 @ Toronto Raptors 104
Picks –
Atlanta are 4-6, Toronto 6-4 over their last 10.
The Hawks are in their 5th game of a home stand that has only yielded one win, and that was a 110-105 victory against the lowly Nets. During this time our man Dwight decided to spark another dust-up with a teammate, this time with Dennis Schroder. Where to next Dwight? The list grows…
Lowry continues to sit for the Raptors with a wrist injury, however we’ll roll with the away team at the line here. We just have that feeling.

Picks –
The Bucks have taken down the Pacers twice this season and look the goods again at home tonight. Out of the two teams, Milwaukee are in better recent form (7-3) and are a good price worthy a look.

24.01.15 – Boston Celtics 100 @ Denver Nuggets 99
Picks –
Danger game for the Celtics tonight being the last game of a West road trip. They were big favourites back in Boston earlier in the year against the Nuggets but got blown out of the water in the first letting their opposition score 42 points. The recent form of Denver of 1-2 on home court doesn’t make them the best choice not a sure thing for anyone here.
Best Bet: Nope.
Feeling Lucky: Denver +3.0 @1.95 (-105)

24.03.14 – Brooklyn Nets 107 @ Dallas Mavericks 104 – OT
Picks –
Dallas were looking at a high lottery pick in the first half of the season but with Dirk returning and some crafty trade moves, the Mavs a sneaky chance to make the playoffs being 1.5 games behind the 8 seed. Even though the Nets have won a few games of late, Dallas have won their last 5 on home court.

15.03.15 – Sacramento Kings 97 @ Washington Wizards 113
Picks –
The Kings have lost 6 straight where the last game against the Spurs was their best chance yet heading into the 2nd quarter with a 22 point lead. San Antonio being San Antonio showed that without Kawhi and LaMarcus, they still can fight back and get the W.
The Wizards are just a game behind the Celtics in the East and are 2-0 on their current West road trip. Bojan Bogdanovic is proving to have been a great trade deadline deal, averaging almost 20 points for the month of March off the bench.
Best Bet: Washington WIN @1.26 (-385)
