NBA game tips for tonight
A slow day today after yesterday’s 11 game schedule.
Golden State @ Orlando
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Golden State | 118.0 | 105.0 | +13.0 |
| Orlando | 100.0 | 104.7 | -4.7 |
Last 5
08.03.16 – Orlando Magic 113 @ Golden State Warriors 119
26.02.16 – Golden State Warriors 130 @ Orlando Magic 114
03.12.14 – Orlando Magic 97 @ Golden State Warriors 98
27.11.14 – Golden State Warriors 111 @ Orlando Magic 96
19.03.14 – Orlando Magic 89 @ Golden State Warriors 103
Picks –
Best Bet: Total Points Over 224.0 @-110 – The last 2 matchups between these two suggest that the total line is a good take. The scorers table to be busy.
Feeling Lucky: Golden State -13.0 @-110 – They’re back to the Warriors of old lately, and the -13.0 line is nice here. Orlando has won 3 of their last 10, and the Warriors 17-3 away record, and recent form gives us confidence here. Klay to explode. We know the Warriors offense, however Golden State is 1st in the league in defensive rating, giving up just 101.1 points per 100 possessions.
LA Lakers @ Dallas
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| LA Lakers | 104.7 | 110.2 | -5.5 |
| Dallas | 96.0 | 100.7 | -4.7 |
Last 5
30.12.16 – Dallas Mavericks 101 @ Los Angeles Lakers 89
09.11.16 – Dallas Mavericks 109 @ Los Angeles Lakers 97
27.01.16 – Dallas Mavericks 92 @ Los Angeles Lakers 90
14.11.15 – Los Angeles Lakers 82 @ Dallas Mavericks 90
02.11.15 – Dallas Mavericks 103 @ Los Angeles Lakers 93
Picks –
Best Bet: Dallas WIN @-243 – Dallas has won the last 12 in this matchup, and the way the Lakers are rolling with 6 wins over their last 20, we’ll take the home team here at the line. Deng and Russell will sit for the Lakers, while JJ Barrea and Bogut (injured and hanging by a thread) will sit for the Mavs.
Feeling Lucky: Dallas -5.5 @-110 – As above. Both are 4-6 over their last 10, much more faith in the improved Mavs however. Sidenote, last time the Lakers defeated the Mavs, Dwight Howard and Kobe were in the Purple and Gold.
Phoenix @ Toronto
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Phoenix | 105.8 | 111.8 | -6.0 |
| Toronto | 110.2 | 104.6 | +5.6 |
Last 5
30.12.16 – Toronto Raptors 91 @ Phoenix Suns 99
03.02.16 – Toronto Raptors 104 @ Phoenix Suns 97
30.11.15 – Phoenix Suns 107 @ Toronto Raptors 102
05.01.15 – Toronto Raptors 109 @ Phoenix Suns 125
25.11.14 – Phoenix Suns 100 @ Toronto Raptors 104
Picks –
Best Bet: Toronto WIN @-909 – This is more a multiplier on your parlay as singles are too short. With Toronto being shaky at best recently and we weren’t confident in anything else. Being the best offensive team in the East, the Raptors have struggled to break 90 points in their last 2.
Feeling Lucky: Considering the Suns took the last matchup, no!
Denver @ Minnesota
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Denver | 109.6 | 111.6 | -2.0 |
| Minnesota | 103.1 | 104.3 | -1.2 |
Last 5
29.12.16 – Minnesota Timberwolves 103 @ Denver Nuggets 105
04.11.16 – Denver Nuggets 102 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 99
13.10.16 – Denver Nuggets 88 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 105
07.01.16 – Denver Nuggets 78 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 74
16.12.15 – Denver Nuggets 112 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 100
Picks –
Best Bet: Total Points Under 221.0 @-110 – The form line for combined points for the two teams has been well under 221.0. Highest combined score was 212 in 2015. With Denver on a B2B, could be low again.
Feeling Lucky: Denver WIN @+158 – Denver have won the last 5 out of 6 against Minnesota. Worth a go.
