Tonight’s 10 NBA Games:
Atlanta @ Indiana
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
8 | Atlanta | 102.5 | 100.0 | +2.5 |
9 | Indiana | 102.3 | 100.0 | +2.3 |
The Say
In terms of +/- these teams can’t be separated. Hawks had a close loss last night to the Clippers and the Pacers have lost the last 6 out of 7. However, Indiana won this matchup last outing at home.
Best Bet: Atlanta +8.5 @1.43.
Feeling Lucky: Atlanta 1-10 @3.00.
Denver @ Washington
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
25 | Denver | 99.7 | 103.8 | -4.1 |
22 | Washington | 101.6 | 104.1 | -2.5 |
The Say
The Wizards will be without Beal who is recovering from a concussion while the Nuggets will be licking their wounds from another honourable loss to Boston last night. Will be tough to back it up again.
Best Bet: Denver +12.5 @1.39.
Feeling Lucky: Under 205.5 @2.44.
New York @ Toronto
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
20 | New York | 99.6 | 101.2 | -1.6 |
5 | Toronto | 101.3 | 96.6 | +4.7 |
The Say
Toronto are going for 10 straight but both teams may be missing their All-Stars with Lowry and Melo game-time decisions. If either one misses, the other team will severely benefit. If both play, we’ll stick with the home team.
Best Bet: Toronto -3.5 (Pending Lowry & Melo status)
Feeling Lucky: New York +8.5 (Pending Lowry & Melo status)
Milwaukee @ Memphis
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
26 | Milwaukee | 98.3 | 103.0 | -4.7 |
21 | Memphis | 96.8 | 99.0 | -2.2 |
The Say
Milwaukee’s have lost 3 out of their last 4 on the road by 10+ points and haven’t had much luck at the FedEx Forum in recent times. Memphis like it physical and maybe be too much for the young Bucks.
Best Bet: Memphis WIN @1.47.
Feeling Lucky: Memphis 1-10 @2.65.
Sacramento @ New Orleans
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
19 | Sacramento | 106.4 | 107.8 | -1.4 |
23 | New Orleans | 102.5 | 105.1 | -2.6 |
The Say
Anthony Davis is recovering from a concussion and is doubtful to matchup against the form big man of the competition. With AD missing, the Kings could do a lot of damage. Jrue Holiday has turned back the clock with some strong play recently, will need more of that to win this one at home.
Best Bet: Sacramento WIN @1.80.
Feeling Lucky: Go with the Best Bet!
Chicago @ LA Lakers
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
12 | Chicago | 101.3 | 100.8 | +0.5 |
29 | LA Lakers | 96.3 | 106.2 | -9.9 |
The Say
Kobe and Pau are reunited for the last time in LA but the Mamba could be on the sidelines, in Larry Nance’s seat. While Byron Scott is playing 1st grade teacher, the Bulls did the usual and lost a very winnable game at home to Miami. Shouldn’t be any troubles at Staples.
Best Bet: Chicago WIN @1.29.
Feeling Lucky: Chicago 11+ @2.19.
