Golden State @ Washington
Win/Loss
TEAM | HOME | ROAD |
Golden State | 26-3 | 24-6 |
Washington | 24-8 | 10-15 |
Points +/-
TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
Golden State | 118.2 | 105.4 | +12.8 |
Washington | 107.9 | 105.5 | +2.4 |
Picks –
The Wizards haven’t begun the final leg of the season that well with 2 straight losses which begs the question, did they think the playoffs started at All Star Break? The Warriors are on a B2B and got through the 76ers with ease, pending which Washington turns up tonight, could make it a 3rd straight loss for the Wizards.
Best Bet: Golden State WIN @1.36 (-278)
Feeling Lucky: Washington +6.5 @1.95 (-105)
Portland @ Detroit
Win/Loss
TEAM | HOME | ROAD |
Portland | 14-13 | 10-21 |
Detroit | 18-12 | 10-19 |
Points +/-
TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
Portland | 107.3 | 110 | -2.7 |
Detroit | 101.4 | 101.8 | -0.4 |
Picks –
The Pistons have the wood over their cross conference opponents in Portland with 3 straight wins and could sweep the series again playing on home court. The Blazers are on a 4 game road trip with 1 win so far.
Best Bet: Detroit WIN @1.49 (-204)
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 214.5 @1.91 (-110)
Denver @ Chicago
Win/Loss
TEAM | HOME | ROAD |
Denver | 16-14 | 10-19 |
Chicago | 18-11 | 12-18 |
Points +/-
TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
Denver | 110.6 | 111.7 | -1.1 |
Chicago | 102.8 | 103.1 | -0.3 |
Picks –
The Bulls are going for 5 straight wins tonight and are looking good on the offensive end after their trade deadline deals. Big wins against the top 3 teams in the East has them in good stead to return to the post season again. Denver haven’t had the same success since the deadline with a 1-2 record with the win coming against the last placed Nets. The form of Butler and Wade have the fans up and about again.
Best Bet: Chicago WIN @1.61 (-164)
Feeling Lucky: Chicago -3.5 @1.95 (-105)
Phoenix @ Memphis
TEAM | HOME | ROAD |
Phoenix | 10-18 | 8-23 |
Memphis | 18-11 | 17-14 |
Points +/-
TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
Phoenix | 107 | 112.5 | -5.5 |
Memphis | 100.8 | 99.6 | +1.2 |
Picks –
Liking the Grizzlies here, and although we aren’t generally fans of going anywhere near a lone in double figures, the Grizzlies love a blowout this year.
Phoenix are 3-7 over their last 10, and not in a great vein of form.
These two have met twice this season. In the first hit-out Mike Conley put up 38 points, including 7 3-pointers which brought about a 115-96 thumping the Grizzlies way. In the second he scored 23 in a 110-91 win in a game which included 6 ejections.
Memphis here, in another double figured salute to the judge.
Best Bet: Nope.
Feeling Lucky: Memphis -10.0 @1.91 (-110)
Utah @ Oklahoma City
Win/Loss
TEAM | HOME | ROAD |
Utah | 20-11 | 17-11 |
OKC | 22-8 | 12-17 |
Points +/-
TEAM | HOME | ROAD |
Utah | 20-11 | 17-11 |
OKC | 22-8 | 12-17 |
Picks –
Both have won their last 3, and this one could be coin toss, certainly one to leave off the parlay.
Utah and Oklahoma City have faced off twice this season and have split the two games, and the acquisition of Gibson and Doug Mc from the Bulls only improves the home team here, especially on the glass.
The Jazz to keep it close, but without the necessary firepower to lead at the most important point.
Best Bet: Oklahoma -1.0 @1.91 (-110)
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 204.0 @1.91 (-110)
Charlotte @ LA Lakers
Win/Loss
TEAM | HOME | ROAD |
Charlotte | 16-13 | 9-21 |
Los Angeles | 12-15 | 7-26 |
Points +/-
TEAM | HOME | ROAD |
Charlotte | 16-13 | 9-21 |
Los Angeles | 12-15 | 7-26 |
Picks –
Both teams are playing some garbage basketball of late, with the Lakers 4-11, and the 2-13 over their last 15. Two of those wins for the Hornets were against the Nets and a Boogie-less Kings, while the Lakers snuck past Denver, Milwaukee and New York.
Going with the Lakers her, just can’t look at the form of the Hornets and put the hard earned there, especially with that road record. Lakers at the line at home.
Best Bet: Nope.
Feeling Lucky: LA Lakers +4.0 @1.91 (-110)
