The Knicks are a completely different team when playing on home court, and their record shows (10-4). They have won the same amount of home games as Boston, San Antonio and Golden State. Porzingis is doubtful to play which gives Orlando some hope.
The Magic have won 1 out of their last 10 where their struggles are all over the defensive end, letting in an average 111.8 points pg (2nd worst in league).
Best Bet = New York ML

This will be the replay of the Dion Waiters game winner that took down the Warriors last season. Now without Whiteside, Miami will need more from their role players to keep up. The Warriors may look to nurse some of their superstars so check back for correct lineups.
Best Bet = Golden State -10.5
LA Clippers @ Minnesota

- LA Clippers are 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Minnesota.

The Clippers are finding life tough without Griffin and their first two games without their star have been disappointing, especially considering the level of opponent (Jazz @ home and Mavs on the road). Not exactly West seeds. On a B2B, the Wolves will look to capitalize.
Best Bet = Minnesota ML
San Antonio @ Oklahoma City
H2H Trends –
- San Antonio are 4-14 ATS in the last 18 meetings in Oklahoma City.
- Under is 11-4 in the last 15 meetings in Oklahoma City.

There are rumours of a possible Kawhi return tonight where the Spurs hold a lead on the season series against the Thunder 1-0. The last game was on the back of a massive comeback for the Spurs where they were down by 24 points at one stage. The Thunder are still working on chemistry issues but no doubt will put on a show tonight.
Possible Overs in front of the home crowd.
Best Bet = Over 198.5
Houston @ LA Lakers
H2H Trends –
- Over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings.
- Houston are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Los Angeles.
- Houston are 20-8 ATS in the last 28 meetings
Win/Loss
| TEAM | W | L | HOME | ROAD |
| Houston | 17 | 4 | 8-3 | 9-1 |
| LA Lakers | 8 | 14 | 6-6 | 2-8 |

| Houston | Over | Houston |
| -11.5 | 225.0 | 118-95 |
The Lakers are on a B2B after a bad loss in high altitude in Denver who were without their two Superstars in Nokic and Millsap. Coming back home does help their chances but against the West leader in Houston is a tough break. The Rockets have won 12 of their last 13 games, make it another tonight.
Best Bet = Over 225.0 or Houston -11.5
