Tonight’s 8 NBA Games:

Toronto @ Indiana

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
5 Toronto 103.0 98.4 +4.6
10 Indiana 101.9 100.5 +1.4

The Say

This match earlier in the year in Indiana ended with a convincing win to the Pacers. Now with Toronto with a firm hold on 2nd spot in the East, this should be a lot closer. However, Toronto have begun resting some of their stars to save them for the post season. Funny thing is Round 1 of the playoffs could very well be against Indiana. The Pacers had a good win against Boston last out.

Best Bet: Toronto +9.5 @1.22

Feeling Lucky: Flip a coin, either team to WIN @1.88


Washington @ Philadelphia

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
17 Washington 103.1 104.3 -1.2
30 Philadelphia 97.1 107.7 -10.6

The Say

The Wizards are now 1.5 games behind Detroit as they make the push for 8th spot. Coming off an easy win last night, the only thing holding them back is any sign of fatigue, however, the train to Philly shouldn’t kick off the cramps. The 76ers are still down a few players and might not have enough fire power to outscore the Wizards.

Best Bet: Washington -0.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Washington -5.5 @1.50


Charlotte @ Miami

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
9 Charlotte 103.2 100.9 +2.3
11 Miami 98.9 97.7 +1.2

The Say

One game separates 3rd to 6th in the East so a win for either team tonight helps their chances of gaining home court advantage for the post season. Charlotte will push Miami right to the end.

Best Bet: Under 224.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Charlotte +4.5 @1.89


Denver @ Atlanta

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
20 Denver 102.5 104.6 -2.1
8 Atlanta 102.3 98.9 +3.4

The Say

On the road still, Denver almost got blown out to Orlando, but were able to make it a lot closer in the second half. Still under-manned with injuries, the Nuggets will fall short again to the Hawks. Atlanta to win and notch up 4 in a row.

Best Bet: Atlanta -3.5 @1.47

Feeling Lucky: Go with the Best Bet


Brooklyn @ Chicago

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
27 Brooklyn 98.2 104.4 -6.2
19 Chicago 101.5 103.2 -1.7

The Say

The Bulls threw the towel in very early last night but will have to front up again tonight without Gibson and Gasol. This match-up ended in a big upset by the Nets last time and with the Bulls as shaky as Houston, it’s bet at your own risk. Extra incentive, they are currently 9th!

Best Bet: Chicago WIN @1.32

Feeling Lucky: Brook Lopez Over 22.5 points @1.88


Memphis @ Milwaukee

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
18 Memphis 99.1 100.6 -1.5
25 Milwaukee 99.4 103.1 -3.7

The Say

Lance is back. Almost triple doubling last night, Stephenson is carrying the team formally known as the Grizzlies. If you’re unsure about this contest, just check out who is being announced as starting these days for Memphis. The Bucks at home.

Best Bet: Milwaukee -6.5 @1.50

Feeling Lucky: Milwaukee -10.5 @1.96


Portland @ San Antonio

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
1 San Antonio 104.6 92.2 +12.4
13 Portland 104.0 103.4 +0.6

The Say

Portland’s run has taken a few bumps of late and heading to San Antonio and coming up against a team who is yet to lose at home this season doesn’t make it any easier. Like our rule with Golden State, until the Spurs lose at home, we will keep picking them.

Best Bet: San Antonio -2.5 @1.18

Feeling Lucky: San Antonio -7.5 @1.47


Phoenix @ Utah

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
28 Phoenix 100.8 108.0 -7.2
12 Utah 98.0 97.1 +0.9

The Say

With Brandon Knight back, the Suns have a bit more fight. Teaming up with Booker, the Phoenix perimeter game is hot. With Haywood’s status up in the air, the Jazz should still win but we don’t expect a blow out.

Best Bet: Phoenix +18.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Over 196.5 @1.48
