Tonight’s 9 Expert NBA Tips:

Charlotte @ Washington

Points +/-

TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
Charlotte	103.2	100.5	+2.7
Washington	103.7	104.7	-1.0

Best Bet: Charlotte WIN @1.48 – The Wizards are officially out of the running for the post season while the Hornets still have home court up for grabs.

Feeling Lucky: HT/FT – Charlotte/Charlotte – The Hornets have a lot to gain tonight, should be full speed ahead.

LA Lakers @ Houston

Points +/-

TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
LA Lakers	97.4	106.7	-9.3
Houston	105.8	106.6	-0.8

Best Bet: HT/FT – Houston/Houston @1.22 – The Rockets have been terrible this season but one thing they have done consistently is beat down Kobe and the Lakers.

Feeling Lucky: Over 205.5 @1.48 – Neither side can play defense, Kobe says goodbye to Dwight.

Dallas @ LA Clippers

Points +/-

TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
Dallas	102.6	102.9	-0.3
LA Clippers	104.5	100.4	+4.1

Best Bet: Dallas +16.5 @1.20 – The Clippers have been locked in the 4^th seed all year and can pretty much play the rest card until the post season.

Feeling Lucky: Dallas WIN @3.10 – A win tonight helps their hopes even more for playoffs while LA will be hoping for no sudden injuries.

Milwaukee @ Philadelphia

Points +/-

TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
Milwaukee	99.0	103.2	-4.2
Philadelphia	97.2	107.4	-10.2

Best Bet: Milwaukee WIN @1.43 – Not sure who will be lining up for either team but hope the Greek Freak and Jabari take care of business.

Feeling Lucky: Over 204.5 @1.88 – Swing for the fences here, we have no idea.

Utah @ Denver

Points +/-

TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
Utah	97.7	95.9	+1.8
Denver	102.2	105.0	-2.8

Best Bet: Utah WIN @1.38 – With Houston bound to beat the Lakers, the Jazz need to keep the foot on the pedal.

Feeling Lucky: Utah 1-10 @2.60 – The Nuggets are stubborn at home and the Jazz will need to grind this one out for the win.

Brooklyn @ Indiana

Points +/-

TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
Brooklyn	98.4	105.6	-7.2
Indiana	101.9	100.6	+1.3

Best Bet: Indiana -6.5 @1.25 – Paul George is doubtful with an ankle but states he will play. At Indiana, the Pacers should get over the line, the Nets have been eyeing the lottery since Feb.

Feeling Lucky: Monta Ellis 13+ points @1.88 – We got it last time, and with George likely to be sitting extra minutes, Monta could jack up plenty of FG.

Orlando @ Miami

Points +/-

TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
Orlando	102.1	103.4	-1.3
Miami	100.0	98.5	+1.5

Best Bet: Orlando +17.5 @1.22 – Orlando have won 5 of their last 7, and are looking good at the wrong time of the year. The Heat have secured a playoff run at 5th spot in the East. An Orlando line here is nice, with the Heat now settled.

Feeling Lucky: Miami 1-10 @2.55 – The Heat lineup will get it done if the starters play extended minutes, but we aren’t thinking it will be by much. A lot of starter’s minutes may be off the court.

Golden State @ San Antonio

Points +/-

TEAM	OWN	OPP	DIFF
San Antonio	103.9	92.9	+11.0
Golden State	115.2	104.4	+10.8

Best Bet: Golden State +10.5 @1.46 – This is for the season record hopes. The Warriors won’t be letting it go easily, and with a nice win at home a couple of days ago, we are confident with the line here.

Feeling Lucky: Golden State WIN @2.76 – Won’t see too many lines like this for the Warriors often. Feeling lucky? Take it…
