 Boston  Under
 -7.5  199.0

The Celtics are on a B2B but let’s just say the roadtrip is just down the road from Detroit to Chicago. The Bulls are on a little streak of 2 straight wins after a lousy slump of 10 losses. No injury concerns although Boston may look at this game as an opportunity to rest some traveled legs. This is the first matchup of the season for these two and with 4 games in the series, expect Boston to be reaching for the broom.

Best Bet  = Boston ML

New Orleans @ Houston

H2H Trends –

  • Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Houston.
  • New Orleans are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Houston.
  • New Orleans are 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings

Picks against the spread

Spread O/U Points Result
 Houston  Over
 -12.5  226.5

The Rockets are yet to lose with Chris Paul in the lineup but with a record of 20-4, they rarely lose at all. It does get much easier than tonight with the Pelicans on a B2B. Although with the tall timber of Cousins and Davis, it could be a matchup nightmare or an opportunity to go small ball all the way!

Best Bet = Houston ML

Miami @ Memphis

H2H Trends –

  • Under is 7-1-1 in the last 9 meetings in Memphis.
  • Miami are 1-5-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
  • Miami are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Memphis

Win/Loss 

TEAM W L HOME ROAD
Miami 12 13 5-6 7-7
Memphis 8 18 5-10 3-8

Season Points +/-

Miami 100.2 103.6 -3.4
Memphis 98.2 101.6 -3.4

Picks against the spread

Spread O/U Points Result
 Memphis  Under
 -1.5  194.0

The Heat are one game under .500 and have been somewhat underachieving this season, even with the injurys to Whiteside. Memphis have had a terrible 4 weeks with a 1-14 record which aligns with the Mike Conley injury. The dependence on Gasol and Evans does wear thin with Miami’s attractive road record of 7-7.

Best Bet  = Under 194.0

Charlotte @ Oklahoma City

H2H Trends –

  • Charlotte are 1-8-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Oklahoma City.
  • Charlotte are 3-10 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
  • Under is 8-3-1 in the last 12 meetings in Oklahoma City

Win/Loss 

TEAM W L HOME ROAD
Charlotte 9 16 8-6 1-10
OKC 12 13 9-3 3-10

Season Points +/- 

TEAM PPG OPP PPG DIFF
Charlotte 104.6 106.8 -2.2
OKC 101.8 99.0 +2.8

Picks against the spread

Spread O/U Points Result
 Charlotte  Under
 +7.5  206.5

OKC are struggling on the road with a 3-10 record and just got past the injury riddled Grizzlies in Overtime. On the other hand, are the Hornets due for a home win? With Kidd-Gilchrist and Batum on the defensive end, it will be a Walker/Westbrook shootout.

Too much uncertainty here.

Best Bet  = NO BET

If you must – Charlotte +7.5

Portland @ Golden State

H2H Trends –

  • Under is 11-3 in the last 14 meetings in Los Angeles.
  • Toronto are 21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings.
  • Toronto are 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Los Angeles

Win/Loss

Portland 13 12 7-8 6-4

 Golden State
 -14.0

The Warriors lost Steph Curry to an ankle injury and still managed to go 6-0 on the road. Back at home and with a healthy 6 game streak against the Blazers sees the Champs having no issues tonight.

Best Bet = Golden State -14.0

Toronto @ LA Clippers

H2H Trends –

  • Atlanta are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
  • Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings

The Raptors are cruising which was sort of similar to last season before they fell into a heap after Xmas. Going for 7 straight wins, lets hope they didn’t have too much fun in LA the night prior. As for the Clippers, get well soon.

Best Bet = Toronto ML
