Detroit are starting to quieten down the doubters and their home court record is solid at 5-1. Ride them while they’re hot!

| Boston | Over | Boston |
| -5.5 | 204.0 | 90-87 |
Best Bet = Boston H2H
The Celtics have won 10 straight and get to keep the streak alive with a game at home tonight. Tatum and Horford are questionable but won’t derail the plan.
Indiana @ Chicago
H2H Trends –
- Under is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings.
Win/Loss
| TEAM | W | L | HOME | ROAD |
| Indiana | 5 | 7 | 3-2 | 2-5 |

| Indiana | 109.3 | 110.2 | -0.8 |

Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| Indiana | Over | Indiana |
| -2.0 | 202.0 | 105-87 |
Best Bet = Indiana H2H
Indiana have struggled of late with 4 straight losses against some teams in good current form. However, with Turner fully back in the rotation, they will fancy themselves against the lowly Bulls.
LA Clippers @ Oklahoma City
H2H Trends –
- Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Oklahoma City.
Win/Loss
| TEAM | W | L | HOME | ROAD |
| LA Clippers | 5 | 5 | 3-4 | 2-1 |
| OKC | 4 | 6 | 2-2 | 2-4 |
Season Points +/-
| TEAM | PPG | OPP PPG | DIFF |
| LA Clippers | 107.5 | 103.8 | +3.7 |
| OKC | 102.5 | 96.8 | +5.7 |
Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| OKC | Under | OKC |
| -7.0 | 209.5 | 120-111 |
Best Bet = OKC H2H
OKC failed to turn up in the 4th quarter last night and will have the chance to make it up at home against the Clippers. LA will be without Beverley and Gallinari which points to Griffin to provide the offensive load. The Thunder have lost 4 straight and need the win to silence the critics for another day.
Milwaukee @ San Antonio
H2H Trends
- Milwaukee are 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
- Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in San Antonio.
Win/Loss
| TEAM | W | L | HOME | ROAD |
| Milwaukee | 4 | 6 | 2-3 | 2-3 |
| San Antonio | 7 | 4 | 5-1 | 2-3 |
Season Points +/-
| TEAM | PPG | OPP PPG | DIFF |
| Milwaukee | 105.4 | 108.7 | -3.3 |
| San Antonio | 101.7 | 100.6 | +1.1 |
Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| San Antonio | Under | Milwaukee |
| -4.5 | 206.5 | 94-87 |
Best Bet = San Antonio H2H
Newly acquired Bledsoe may make his debut for the Bucks tonight who really need some spark having lost 4 straight games. Going to San Antonio isn’t easy for any team, especially now that the Spurs have regained some form and started their own streak.
Still looking forward to the return of Kawhi……..
Orlando @ Phoenix
H2H Trends –
- Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in Phoenix.
- Orlando are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Phoenix.
- Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
Win/Loss
| TEAM | W | L | HOME | ROAD |
| Orlando | 7 | 4 | 4-2 | 3-2 |
| Phoenix | 4 | 8 | 2-4 | 2-4 |
Season Points +/-
| TEAM | PPG | OPP PPG | DIFF |
| Orlando | 109.3 | 105.6 | +3.6 |
| Phoenix | 105.7 | 115.8 | -10.1 |
Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| Phoenix | Under | Orlando |
| +3.0 | 224.5 | 128-112 |
Best Bet = Total Points Under 224.5
Like Detroit, the Magic have jumped out of the blocks hot but still can’t be trusted just yet from a punters point of view. Although, nobody is sure which Phoenix team will be showing up tonight.
After a promising run since Earl Watson was fired, the Suns have fallen into a slump again. You are not silly to take Orlando here but this is likely one to leave out of any betting thought.
Miami @ Utah
H2h Trends –
- Miami are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
- Over is 8-3-1 in the last 12 meetings in Utah.
- Over is 18-8-1 in the last 27 meetings.
Win/Loss
| TEAM | W | L | HOME | ROAD |
| Miami | 5 | 6 | 3-3 | 2-3 |
| Utah | 5 | 6 | 5-2 | 0-4 |
Season Points +/-
| TEAM | PPG | OPP PPG | DIFF |
| Miami | 103.5 | 104.9 | -1.5 |
| Utah | 99.1 | 100.5 | -1.4 |
Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| Utah | Under | Miami |
| -3.0 | 196.5 | 84-74 |
Best Bet = Total Points Under 196.5
This will mark the 5th straight road game for the Heat who are split 2-2 on the current trip.
The Jazz have lowered their guard lately with some bad losses (including 2 at home – Raptors & 76ers) and will look to capitalize on a fatigued Miami unit who’ve been travelling.
Brooklyn @ Portland
H2h Trends –
- Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
- Brooklyn are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings
Win/Loss
| TEAM | W | L | HOME | ROAD |
| Brooklyn | 4 | 7 | 3-2 | 1-5 |
| Portland | 6 | 5 | 4-3 | 2-2 |
Season Points +/-
| TEAM | PPG | OPP PPG | DIFF |
| Brooklyn | 111.9 | 116.2 | -4.3 |
| Portland | 106.3 | 100.6 | +5.6 |
Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| Portland | Over | Brooklyn |
| -8.5 | 222.5 | 101-97 |
Best Bet = Portland -8.5
The Nets are travelling wounded with the Blazers looking to pounce. Crabbe gets a chance to give his old team some payback which will fall short of the Dame and CJ show. Portland are strong favourites but do let some of the inconsistencies of last season make an appearance from time to time.
Portland at the line.
