San Antonio | 104.1 | 97.9 | +6.2 |
Picks –
Best Bet: Nope – Although the Bulls are out of form with a 3-7 record over the last 10, that line is just too big for us, and the H2H odds too slim. Spurs are 8-2 of their last 10.
Feeling Lucky: Chicago +9.0 @1.91 – The Spurs are winning like nobody’s business, however they very rarely break the double figures win. Bulls to keep it close-ish.
Minnesota @ Oklahoma City

Minnesota | 103.9 | 106.2 | -2.3 |
Oklahoma City | 106.8 | 105.3 | +1.5 |
Picks –
Best Bet: Oklahoma City WIN @1.49 – Russ loves Christmas Day, and we’ve fallen off the TWolves train after a 9-20 start to the year. Wolves are 5-9 on the road, Oklahoma 11-6 at home
Feeling Lucky: Oklahoma City -5.0 @1.91 – As above with a little more fire.
LA Clippers @ LA Lakers
TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
LA Clippers | 109.1 | 101.2 | +7.9 |
LA Lakers | 106.8 | 105.3 | +1.5 |
Picks –
Best Bet: Nope. – No confident bet here with the Clippers likely without Paul and Griffin with an arthroscope on his knee. Nance will sit for the Lakers following a knee bruise.
Feeling Lucky: LA Lakers +6.0 @1.91 – The Lakers have lost 9 of the last 10, so this is definitely a reach. If there were ever to beat their court rivals, tonight is the night.
