The Say

Now that Anthony Davis (knee) has been shut down for 2016, this should be a formality for the Pacers, who may be in pretty average form, but will still be able to get over the Pelicans, who are 3/12 over the last 15. Paul George with 23.5 ppg, 7.0rpg, 4apg and 1.9spg could be an MVP candidate in any other year.

The Pacers will win this by a streak, and give themselves a running start into the playoffs.

The Say

Brooklyn have shown little interest in winning, with a 2/8 record over the last 10. The Cavs are 7/3 over the last 10,and although they haven’t been the dominant sensation that the Warriors have, they are still in the Championship conversation along with the Thunder, Warriors and Spurs.

Won’t fluff around here too much, the Cavs will get in done in less than exciting fashion, resting Lebron and Kyrie just enough for the W.

The Say

The Unpredicta-Bulls take on the Knicks at MSG in what is basically a toss your coin in the air and walk away kind of game. The Bulls are basically impossible to bet on this year, with a starting lineup that changes daily, and a medical room that is employing half of the city of Chicago’s physiotherapists.

The Knicks are cringe-worthy at best when it comes to tipping, however they won the first of this H2H 115-107 yesterday. Aside from that, there really is no form of any regard that would be worth getting your interest pricked, aside from the fact that the Bulls may still be pushing for a first round playoff exit.

The Say

The bible belt heads to OKC to build on their impressive 7-3 record over the last 10. Their only problem being that the Thunder (28-9 at home) are in a similar vein of form, are at home, and have the day’s break.

Gordon Hayward with 20ppg and 4apg is having a nice year, but nice doesn’t cut it against a man who scowls at his own mother for mixing up his socks, in Russell Westbrook. The ‘Westwolf’ and Durant are one of the top 3 offensive duos in the league (#2 if your’e not a Cavs fan) and will have too much in reserve to let a Jazz team upset them at home.

The Say

The Clippers have won 3 of their last 10, which for a team that’s 43-27 and heading to the Finals is not a great running start. This is not a total right-off though, as these losses over the last 10 have all come against teams above .500, of which will also be there at the pointy end. If the Clippers are to push deep into the playoffs, they need to start beating some fellow contenders.

The Blazers are 4-6 over the last 10, and like the Clips cannot seem to get over the line against the teams that will battle for the trophy in a few weeks time. Their horrible defense, ranking 20th in the league is doing them no favours, especially over the last 4 games, giving away points like it’s going out of fashion.

At home, the Clippers should get over the line. With CP3 having the best offensive efficiency in the NBA this season with 3.7 ast per turnover, they will get the W, they damn well need to.

Best Bet: Clippers +1.5 @1.44

Feeling Lucky: Clippers 1-10 @2.40
