Tonight’s 5 NBA Games:

New York @ Detroit

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
21 New York 99.2 101.1 -1.9
10 Detroit 102.1 100.6 +1.5

The Say

The Knicks won this corresponding matchup at MSG earlier this season. However, the Pistons at home are a different team. Detroit are a little banged up and could be with KCP and with the Knicks having the extra days rest, it could be too close to call.

Best Bet: New York +11.5 @$1.41

Feeling Lucky: Carmelo Anthony Over 22.5 @$1.94


Houston @ Phoenix

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
17 Houston 105.3 106.5 -1.2
27 Phoenix 100.5 106.5 -6

The Say

The Suns are basically throwing out their D-League team nowadays and could be ready to trade disgruntled forward Morris. The Rockets leave so much to be desired on the defensive end and with the Phoenix kids running around, expect a high scoring affair.

Best Bet: Houston -3.5 @$1.46

Feeling Lucky: Over 214.5 @$2.00


LA Lakers @ New Orleans

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
29 LA Lakers 96.3 106.4 -10.1
22 New Orleans 102.6 105.1 -2.5

The Say

The Lakers have another trip planned to New Orleans later in the season so its highly likely Kobe will sit this one out. Then again after his performance the other night, he might as well make it down to Bourbon Street. The Pelicans are down Gordon and Evans but anything is possible when AD is on the court.

Best Bet: LA Lakers+16.5 @1.34

Feeling Lucky: New Orleans 1-10 @2.45


Toronto @ Portland

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
5 Toronto 101.4 97 +4.4
15 Portland 102.1 102.1 0

The Say

This is a hard one to split as both teams are in good form. The Blazers have won the past 7 against the Raptors at home, although, those losses would have occurred in an era of Aldridge and Matthews in the line up. Both teams have got 1-2 punches at the guard positions, will be too hard to pick a clear favourite.

Best Bet: Portland +4.5 @1.51

Feeling Lucky: Portland WIN @1.88
