12.01.14 – Boston Celtics 104 @ Portland Trail Blazers 112
Picks –
Best Bet: Boston WIN @-416 – Blazers dropped their 4th in a row at the hands of the 76ers and will struggle to get up on a B2B against the Celtics, with a fired up Thomas who was snubbed as an All-Star starter.
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 218.5 @-110 – The Blazers have failed to get over 101 points on their current Eastern roadtrip. On a B2B tonight, could slow them down even more.

22.11.15 – Washington Wizards 97 @ Detroit Pistons 95
Picks –
Best Bet: Washington are hot at the moment and will be tested against the Pistons on the road. Trade talk circulating around Reggie Jackson could be a distraction.

23.03.16 – Charlotte Hornets 105 @ Brooklyn Nets 100
22.02.16 – Charlotte Hornets 104 @ Brooklyn Nets 96
Picks –
Best Bet: Too short. Previous to their last loss to the Nets on a buzzer beater, the Hornets have owned the series winning the previous 7.
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 220.0 @-110 – Both teams are coming off big wins to everyone’s surprise. The Nets scored 77 points in the second half of last nights game against the Pelicans.

17.12.15 – Philadelphia 76ers 106 @ Atlanta Hawks 127
Picks –
Best Bet: Atlanta WIN @-526 – Embiid on a B2B sounds like a rest is coming. Atlanta are 8-2 in their last 10 (same as Philly) and have owned the 76ers with some big scoring nights.
Feeling Lucky: Atlanta -10.0 @-105 – Home court with an under the radar Dwight Howard putting up some great numbers this season.
Milwaukee @ Miami

30.01.16 – Miami Heat 107 @ Milwaukee Bucks 103
20.01.16 – Milwaukee Bucks 91 @ Miami Heat 79
Picks –
Best Bet: Milwaukee WIN @-106 –The Bucks are in a slump having lost their last 4. With a day’s break and at home it’s no wonder the Heat head in as favourite. However we’re rolling with the underdog Bucks with an 8-12 away record, Miami 7-13 at home. Bucks are 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 206.0
Phoenix @ New York

16.03.15 – New York Knicks 89 @ Phoenix Suns 102
21.12.14 – Phoenix Suns 99 @ New York Knicks 90
Picks –
Best Bet: New York WIN @-227 – The Suns are in a slump, however neither team are anything to write home about. We’ll go with the Knicks with the 12-10 home record. A 5-17 away record for the Suns is just not happening.
Feeling Lucky: New York -5.5 @-110 – As above. Porzingis is back following an achilles injury, and should be better from his first run out.
Houston @ Memphis

15.03.16 – Memphis Grizzlies 81 @ Houston Rockets 130
13.01.16 – Houston Rockets 107 @ Memphis Grizzlies 91
Picks –
Best Bet: Memphis WIN @-106 – We’ll take the home team here, but it’s a toss of the coin. Houston lost last out in a taxing loss to the Warriors, while the Grizzlies owned Sac in Memphis. Keep this one out of your parlays.
Feeling Lucky: Nope.

Picks –
Best Bet: Cleveland WIN @-156 – Pau is out with a thumb for the Spurs, while we wait on the availability of Love for the Cavs with back soreness. If Love plays, take Cleveland at the line. Cavs for the win either way.
Feeling Lucky: Cleveland WIN @-110 – Wait on the Love call…
Sacramento @ Chicago

21.11.14 – Chicago Bulls 88 @ Sacramento Kings 103
20.07.14 – Sacramento Kings 80 @ Chicago Bulls 61
Picks –
Best Bet: Chicago WIN @-243 – The Kings have bee in some bad form lately, having lost 8 of their last 10. The Bulls haven’t been a whole lot better, however with the loss of Rudy Gay with a torn achilles, we’ll go with the home team.
Feeling Lucky: Chicago -6.0 @-110 – No injuries for the Bulls, hoping for some more supreme front-running from Chicago.
Indiana @ Utah
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Indiana | 105.8 | 106.6 | -0.8 |
| Utah | 99.2 | 94.9 | +4.3 |

01.11.15 – Utah Jazz 97 @ Indiana Pacers 76
06.01.15 – Indiana Pacers 105 @ Utah Jazz 101
11.11.14 – Utah Jazz 86 @ Indiana Pacers 97
03.03.14 – Utah Jazz 91 @ Indiana Pacers 94
Picks –
Best Bet: Utah -6.5 @-110 – Both are in some good form, forgiving the loss that the Pacers took the Lakers last tie out. Jazz at home will get the job done however, with an awful Indiana away record the sealer. The overs are the interesting choice here.
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 203.0 – That line’s a little skinny for us.
LA Clippers @ Denver
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| LA Clippers | 108.1 | 102.1 | +6.0 |

25.02.16 – Denver Nuggets 87 @ Los Angeles Clippers 81
25.11.15 – Los Angeles Clippers 111 @ Denver Nuggets 94
Picks –
Best Bet: Denver -8.0 @-110 – Griffin may return, but if anything having a rusty PF out there will at even more leverage to the home side. Denver to win here. The loss of CP3 will have over the Clippers for a while here.
Feeling Lucky: Nope.
