Tonight’s 5 NBA Games:
New Orleans @ Detroit
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 23 | New Orleans | 102.5 | 105.2 | -2.7 |
| 13 | Detroit | 101.5 | 100.9 | +0.6 |
The Say
Can’t go past Detroit at home. Although they are slumping a little, the new roster moves after the deadline should bring some new energy.
Best Bet: Detroit WIN @1.47
Feeling Lucky: Detroit -6.5 @2.05
Cleveland @ Oklahoma
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 4 | Cleveland | 102.9 | 96.9 | +6 |
| 3 | Oklahoma City | 109.9 | 101.9 | +8 |
The Say
These games usually go the way of the home team, not always the one in form.
Best Bet: Oklahoma +3.5 @1.41
Feeling Lucky: Under 215.0 @1.86
Boston @ Denver
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 7 | Boston | 105.5 | 101.7 | +3.8 |
| 24 | Denver | 100.7 | 103.7 | -3 |
The Say
Denver at home is always a close game, Boston may win but there wont be much in it.
Best Bet: Denver -14.5 @1.20
Feeling Lucky: Either Team by Less Than 7 @2.56
San Antonio @ Phoenix
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 1 | San Antonio | 104.9 | 92.4 | +12.5 |
| 27 | Phoenix | 100.5 | 106.9 | -6.4 |
The Say
San Antonio lost to the Clippers and were pushed by the Lakers, with Phoenix a bit unpredictable here. Pop shouldn’t risk it and won’t let this game be closer than it should be.
Best Bet: San Antonio -8.5
Feeling Lucky: San Antonio 11+
Charlotte @ Brooklyn
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 11 | Charlotte | 102 | 100.8 | +1.2 |
| 28 | Brooklyn | 96.5 | 103.5 | -7 |
The Say
Charlotte keep winning and have Big Al back to try and break down Brook Lopez who is on a tear. The Hornets are playing fit now and have newly traded Courtney Lee for some offense, they will be too strong.
Best Bet: Charlotte WIN @1.34
Feeling Lucky: Charlotte -6.5 @1.88
Indiana @ Orlando
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 9 | Indiana | 102.5 | 100.3 | +2.2 |
| 18 | Orlando | 99.6 | 100.9 | -1.3 |
The Say
Orlando are the favorites, just… but for Indiana who are coming off a miracle win against the Thunder, they would have to be a good thing here. Worth the risk? Plus we haven’t forgiven Orlando for their losses to Philly and Charlotte.
Best Bet: Indiana +6.5 @1.47
Feeling Lucky: Indiana 1-10 @2.82
Memphis @ Toronto
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 5 | Toronto | 101.9 | 97.7 | +4.2 |
| 16 | Memphis | 98.4 | 99.1 | -0.7 |
The Say
Without Gasol and Green, and with Lee traded, the Grizzlies just don’t have enough to stop the Raptors at home.
Best Bet: Toronto WIN @1.26
Feeling Lucky: Toronto -6.5 @1.70
Philadelphia @ Dallas
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 30 | Philadelphia | 95.5 | 105.6 | -10.1 |
| 17 | Dallas | 100.9 | 101.8 | -0.9 |
The Say
Still waiting for odds and spreads – Dallas either way.
Best Bet: Dallas -5.5 @1.49
Feeling Lucky: Dallas -10.0 @1.91
LA Lakers @ Chicago
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 29 | LA Lakers | 96.8 | 106.4 | -9.6 |
| 15 | Chicago | 101.4 | 102.1 | -0.7 |
The Say
Both teams are on the up, with some exciting young talent. Which also means that they are up and down, and will cause problems for the tipsters. Put them both on the court together, and you may as well toss a coin.
With Gordon and Evans out for the Pelicans, and the Wolves with their own injury worries, flip that coin and walk away, don’t even bother looking at it.
Best Bet: Under 213.5 @1.48
Feeling Lucky: Chicago -6.5 @1.80
Utah @ Portland
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 10 | Utah | 97.9 | 96.5 | +1.4 |
| 12 | Portland | 103.1 | 102 | +1.1 |
The Say
Both teams are coming off impressive wins, non-more than the Blazers smashing the Warriors and Lillard posting 51. Portland at home with a 9-1 record in the last 10.
Best Bet: Under 204.5 @1.41
Feeling Lucky: Portland -3.5 @1.92
