19 | Orlando | 100.9 | 102.4 | -1.5 |

Chicago are officially 9th in the East as their season continues to spiral since Butler’s injury. Orlando at home have a chance here, although both teams are coming off blow out last night.

The Say
The two biggest surprises of the season get to face off in Beantown. Couldn’t possibly pick a winner here. Boston being at home have the advantage.

RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
22 | New Orleans | 102.9 | 105.7 | -2.8 |
19 | Houston | 105.7 | 107.1 | -1.4 |
The Say
With a big calendar of games tonight, this is the one you skip, as Houston aren’t worth the risk.

Feeling Lucky: TBA
Sacramento @ Memphis
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
21 | Sacramento | 107.2 | 109.6 | -2.4 |
16 | Memphis | 99.1 | 99.5 | -0.4 |
The Say
Don’t let other tipsters convince you otherwise, the Kings are still below average. Despite Boogie playing a stellar season and Rondo doing his thing, they just don’t have the cattle in the shed to get over the .500. With the Kings winning 4 out of the last 15 games and still playing All-Star game defence, there is no reason to think that the Grizzlies will be worried out of this one at home.
Best Bet: Memphis WIN @1.62
Feeling Lucky: Memphis 1-12
Indiana @ Milwaukee
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
9 | Indiana | 102.3 | 100.5 | +1.8 |
26 | Milwaukee | 99.1 | 103.3 | -4.2 |
The Say
Indiana have lost 4 of the last 5, but those losses were all to quality teams (Cavs, Hornets, Blazers, Heat). The Bucks are playing some pretty good ball, defending their home court well. Not really confident of W either way, but are leaning towards the Pacers in this one.
Best Bet: Indiana WIN @1.76
Feeling Lucky: Indiana 1-10 @2.53
Washington @ Minnesota
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
18 | Washington | 103.0 | 104.4 | -1.4 |
25 | Minnesota | 101.1 | 105.1 | -4.0 |
The Say
The Wizards are still just below the .500 borderline, but are just 2 games out of 8th spot in the East and still a “playoff contender”. Minnesota are without their spiritual leader, Kevin Garnett, and if this was 10 years ago, that might make an actual difference. Washington struggle on the road, with a 14-4 record, but that’s OK, because the T-Wolves stink it up at home with a 10-20 record. John Wall and his crew should have enough to beat a Minnesota side that is young and improving, but not winning this one.
Best Bet: Washington WIN @1.62
Feeling Lucky: Washington -3.5 @1.91
Detroit @ San Antonio
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
12 | Detroit | 101.9 | 100.5 | +1.4 |
1 | San Antonio | 105.0 | 92.5 | +12.5 |
The Say
The veteran Spurs cemented their place as the league’s oldest team by picking up 39 year old Andre Miller. They’re going for their 38th win in a row at home and a chance to clinch a playoff spot. Good luck Detroit.
Best Bet: Spurs/Spurs @$1.35
Feeling Lucky: Spurs 1-10 @$2.65
LA Lakers @ Denver
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
29 | LA Lakers | 97.7 | 107.1 | -9.4 |
24 | Denver | 100.8 | 104.0 | -3.2 |
The Say
Kobe looking to soak up the Colorado love one last time as he returns from a sore shoulder. D’Angelo Russell was finally made a full time starter by Coach Scott and lit up the Nets for 39 points (8 three pointers).
Best Bet: Denver WIN @$1.34
Feeling Lucky:Denver WIN / Under 212.5 @$2.62
