Picks –

The Knicks have lost 4 straight while they face the SPurs who have the second best (behind the Warriors) road record in the league at 22-6. No word on anyone resting yet as San Antonio are still on the Rodeo Roadtrip, but should see tonight as ‘kick them while they’re down’ game.

Best Bet: San Antonio WIN @1.27 (-370)

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 213.0 @1.91 (-110)


Chicago @ Minnesota

14.12.16 – Minnesota Timberwolves 99 @ Chicago Bulls 94
07.02.16 – Chicago Bulls 105 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 112
08.11.15 – Minnesota Timberwolves 102 @ Chicago Bulls 93 – OT
28.02.15 – Minnesota Timberwolves 89 @ Chicago Bulls 96
02.11.14 – Chicago Bulls 106 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 105

Picks –

Both teams are reeling with injuries with LaVine out for the year and the routine uncertainty with Wade and Butlers status. Tom Thibodeau was able to coach his Wolves to a win earlier in the year against his old side with the Bulls playing their 6th straight game on the road. Although Chicago had an embarrassing loss in Phoenix last out, they cant still win the odd game against the flow that has this game a little shaky.

Best Bet: Nothing here

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under @1.91 (-110)


Detroit @ Toronto

Win/Loss

TEAM HOME ROAD
Detroit 16-11 9-18
Toronto 18-9 14-13

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Detroit 101.5 101.9 -0.4
Toronto 109.2 104.7 +4.5

29.02.16 – Toronto Raptors 101 @ Detroit Pistons 114
09.02.16 – Toronto Raptors 103 @ Detroit Pistons 89
31.01.16 – Detroit Pistons 107 @ Toronto Raptors 111
25.03.15 – Toronto Raptors 104 @ Detroit Pistons 108
26.01.15 – Detroit Pistons 110 @ Toronto Raptors 114

Picks –

Toronto have taken 4/5 in this matchup since early last year, and although we aren’t really ones to look at the past H2H matchups, we are here in what is essentially a coin-toss.

With a couple of day’s rest and the home court advantage the swing lies with the Raptors, with home and away records the straw on the camel’s back.

Overs are 4-1 in Toronto’s last 5 home games.

Best Bet: Toronto WIN @1.37 (-276) – Perhaps a little short. Perhaps go Total Points Over 213.0 @1.91 (-110)

Feeling Lucky: Toronto 1-10 @2.40 (+140)


New Orleans @ Sacramento

Win/Loss

TEAM HOME ROAD
New Orleans 14-15 7-18
Sacramento 11-15 11-17

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
New Orleans 103.5 106.8 -3.3
Sacramento 103.4 105.9 -2.5

Last 5

09.11.16 – New Orleans Pelicans 94 @ Sacramento Kings 102
17.03.16 – New Orleans Pelicans 123 @ Sacramento Kings 108
08.03.16 – Sacramento Kings 112 @ New Orleans Pelicans 115
29.01.16 – Sacramento Kings 105 @ New Orleans Pelicans 114
14.01.16 – New Orleans Pelicans 109 @ Sacramento Kings 97

Picks –

It’s the battle of the bigs tonight at Sleep Train Arena with Boogie vs AD.

The Kings are 2 games behind Denver for 8th spot in the West and have a little more light at the end of the 2016/17 tunnel than the Pelicans.

Boogie is fighting some inner demons on the court at the moment –

“I’m fighting my demons right now,” he said after the game, before later adding, “I don’t know how to be myself anymore. It’s something I’m going to have to figure out.”

We love that emotion Boogie, it’s very 90’s NBA,.

Over is 9-3 in New Orlean’s last 12 overall, so expecting some point tonight, with the Kings to get over the line, just.

Best Bet: Sacramento Kings @1.59 (-166)

Feeling Lucky: Sacramento Kings 1-10 @2.44 (+144)
