| Charlotte | Over | Charlotte |
| -4.0 | 206.5 | 99-88 |
A 4-17 road record for the Jazz gives little confidence against a Charlotte team looking to get a much needed win at home.
Best Bet = Charlotte ML
Cleveland @ Indiana
H2H Trends –
- Cleveland are 4-12-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings.
- Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

| -1.5 | 222.0 | 97-95 |
The Cavs were dismal last night in a 133-99 loss away in Toronto (before that a 127-99 loss to Minnesota), at times looking like traffic cones while the Raptors made their way to the rim at will.
These two teams rank in the top eight in offensive efficiency and the Cavaliers rank second worst in defensive efficiency, take the overs.
No faith in either at the moneyline, with the Cavs desperate for a showing tonight.
Best Bet = Indiana -6.5
Orlando @ Washington
H2H Trends –
- Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Washington.
- Orlando are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

| Washington | Over | Washington |
| -10.5 | 218.5 | 125-119 |
Washington are ahead in every statistical category. Against the Magic who’ve dropped their last six we can’t see anything other than a comfortable Wizards win.
Take the overs, with the Magic ranking 17th defensively in the league.
Best Bet = Over 218.5
Brooklyn @ Atlanta
H2H Trends –
- Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in Atlanta.
- Brooklyn are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

| Brooklyn | Over | Brooklyn |
| +3.5 | 211.0 | 110-105 |
The Hawks own the worst record in the league, rank 26th on rebounds and 24th in scoring. The Nets are only slightly better, and the best bet in this one is to stay away. Go the overs if you must.
Nets are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
Best Bet = Over 211.0
Golden State @ Milwaukee
H2H Trends –
- Golden State are 3-10-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings.
- Over is 11-5 in the last 16 meetings in Milwaukee.

Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| Golden State | Over | Golden State |
| -6.0 | 223.0 | 108-94 |
Klay Thompson is rested and ready while Curry remains questionable (ankle), but most likely will miss.
The Warriors have the best road record in the league, and that will improve tonight against the Bucks with the -6.0 for the Warriors looking tempting.
Best Bet = Golden State ML or Golden State -6.0
New York @ Minnesota
H2H Trends –
- New York are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
- New York are 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Minnesota.
Win/Loss

Picks against the spread

| Minnesota | Minnesota | |
| -9.0 | TBC | 118-108 |
The T-Wolves have been on fire lately while the Knicks have returned the the awful team that we’ve been used to in recent years.
The Knicks swept the two meetings last season and won 7 of the last 9 matchups. That trend will buck tonight, with the T-Wolves winning, that -9.0 line is a little big for us though.
Under is 7-1 in Timberwolves last 8 games.
Best Bet = Minnesota -9.0
Portland @ New Orleans
H2H Trends –
- Under is 9-4-1 in the last 14 meetings.
Win/Loss
| TEAM | W | L | HOME | ROAD |
| New Orleans | 20 | 20 | 10-9 | 10-11 |
| Portland | 22 | 19 | 10-10 | 12-9 |

| TEAM | PPG | OPP PPG | DIFF |
| New Orleans | 110.6 | 110.8 | -0.2 |

| New Orleans | New Orleans | |
| -2.0 | TBC | 119-113 |
Portland and New Orleans split two games in Portland earlier in the season. Both have been bouncing between wins and losses lately and this one is dangerous for the bettors.
Still waiting on the overs line, that may be best, otherwise go the home team.
Best Bet = New Orleans ML
Memphis @ Denver
H2H Trends –
- Under is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Denver.
- Under is 14-6 in the last 20 meetings.
Win/Loss
| TEAM | W | L | HOME | ROAD |
| Denver | 21 | 20 | 14-5 | 7-15 |

Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| Memphis | Under | Denver |
| +7.5 | 207.5 | 87-78 |
Denver will try to avoid a 2nd straight loss to a team at the bottom of the standings after falling to Atlanta, the leagues worst.
Like the Nuggets for the ML, that lines too big though. Unders best.
Best Bet = Under 207.5
Houston @ Phoenix
H2H Trends –
- Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Phoenix.
- Over is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings.
- Houston are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
Win/Loss
| TEAM | W | L | HOME | ROAD |
| Phoenix | 16 | 26 | 8-14 | 8-12 |
| Houston | 29 | 11 | 15-6 | 14-5 |
Season Points +/-
| TEAM | PPG | OPP PPG | DIFF |
| Phoenix | 105.7 | 112.1 | -6.4 |

Picks against the spread

| Houston | Over | Houston |
| -7.0 | 227.0 | 112-95 |
Houston are still banged up, with Harden and Nene sitting. Probably best to stay away from this one with the -7.0 for the Rockets pretty risky.
Houston ML probably best if you just need some cream on the parlay.
Best Bet =Houston ML or Houston -7.0
