The Wolves are streaking and are racing away with the North West division. The Magic have lost their last 7 games and have hit rock bottom, currently 30th in the league (That’s last folks). It was a very high scoring contest back on home court against the Magic last out, and expect the Wolves to win again.
Best Bet = Orlando +8.0

Boston have held their own at home and are only 1.5 games behind the rampaging Warriors. However, their opponents in the Pelicans have a very unique lineup that is troubling some teams. When the two man combo clicks, they are unstoppable at both ends which will give coach Stevens a minor headache.
Best Bet = Over 214.0

The Nuggets are in a mini slump dropping 4 out of 5 games. Facing the Mavs on home court is exactly what the doctor ordered. Denver’s 15-5 home record is enough for us.
Best Bet = Denver ML

The Blazers return home after a 4 game road trip against some tough opposition. Portland lead the season series 2-0, very likely to make that 3-0 as the Suns are just about to go down tank alley.
Best Bet = Over 216.5
