Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
New York 98.5 101.1 -2.6
Indiana 102.2 100.7 +1.5

Best Bet: Indiana WIN @1.20 – The Pacers with a win will help their chances of avoiding the Cavs in Round 1 for the post season.

Feeling Lucky: Over 200.5 @1.92 – Indiana aren’t planning on resting anyone for tonight’s game, in the hope of carrying the good form into the playoffs.


Miami @ Detroit

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Miami 100.2 98.5 +1.7
Detroit 102.0 101.3 +0.7

Best Bet: Detroit +8.5 @1.22 – The Pistons are in the playoffs (take a bow SVG) and could really ruin Miami’s chances of a home court seed.

Feeling Lucky: Detroit WIN @1.68 – The Pistons are in the same boat as the Pacers in hoping to avoid LeBron in round 1, so winning is the only cure.


Philadelphia @ Toronto

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Philadelphia 97.3 107.4 -10.1
Toronto 102.5 98.2 +4.3

Best Bet: Over 191.5 @1.20 – With the Raptors not moving out of 2nd spot and the 76ers guaranteed the most balls in the lottery, neither team is a clear choice. Go with points markets or move onto the next game.

Feeling Lucky: Toronto -7.5 @1.45 – Even if the Raptors do rest their stars, they have shown in the past that they can still pull out a win with the second unit running the show.


Oklahoma @ San Antonio

Points +/

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Oklahoma 110.4 103.0 +7.4
San Antonio 103.7 92.9 +10.8

Best Bet: Over 191.5 @1.20 – The unknown of who will be playing gives us the only option to choose the over.

Feeling Lucky: Oklahoma WIN @4.00 – We’re banking on Coach Pop to pull the lineup pregame as nothing else matters until playoffs.


Memphis @ LA Clippers

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Memphis 99.2 100.9 -1.7
LA Clippers 104.4 100.3 +4.1

Best Bet: LA Clippers WIN @1.29 – LA aren’t looking to rest anyone, while also getting some plays into Blake for a playoff attack.

Feeling Lucky: Over 197.5 @1.88 – Even though the Clippers are favourites, there is still a rivalry between these teams that always ends in a tight tussle.
