Tonight’s 10 NBA Games:
Minnesota @ Cleveland
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 24 | Minnesota | 99 | 102.8 | -3.8 |
| 4 | Cleveland | 101 | 95.7 | +5.3 |
The Say
Tyrone Lue is looking for his first win as a NBA coach….. he is lucky they face the Wolves after the crap sandwich they dished up against the Bulls.
Best Bet: Cleveland -7.5 @1.30
Feeling Lucky: Under 202.0 @1.91.
Boston @ Washington
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 7 | Boston | 103.8 | 100.8 | +3 |
| 20 | Washington | 102.2 | 103.8 | -1.6 |
The Say
Two weeks ago the Celtics won the same matchup by 2 in a high scoring affair. Not forgetting, they have a 3-0 advantage over the Wizards this season already. Will be close as Washington pushes for the playoffs.
Best Bet: Boston +7.5 @1.45
Feeling Lucky: Washington -4.5 @2.18.
Miami @ Chicago
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 15 | Miami | 95.5 | 95.8 | -0.3 |
| 12 | Chicago | 101.7 | 101 | +0.7 |
The Say
The Bulls pulled out their usual eye opening game where everyone starts to think they be a contender. Not us! Although playing the banged up Heat tonight, it should be a walk in the park… but it’s the Bulls we are talking about here. Will wait for further news on line-ups etc.
Best Bet: Probably leave this one out – Chicago if line-ups stay the same.
Feeling Lucky: Jimmy Butler over 22.5 @1.87.
Orlando @ Memphis
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 16 | Orlando | 98.7 | 99.2 | -0.5 |
| 22 | Memphis | 96.5 | 98.9 | -2.4 |
The Say
Orlando killed us twice last week with loses to the 76ers and Hornets at home back to back. Memphis back on home court will have the advantage winning the last 7 times at home against the Magic. Let’s hope Oladipo doesn’t get any buzzer beater attempts.
Best Bet: Memphis WIN @1.42.
Feeling Lucky: Memphis 1-10 @2.35.
Houston @ New Orleans
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 17 | Houston | 104.5 | 105.5 | -1 |
| 23 | New Orleans | 102.3 | 104.9 | -2.6 |
The Say
Houston now get to do the trip others have failed before them. With Dwight doubtful, Harden will need to put up another show as he did last night against the Mavericks. The Pelicans have won 5 out of the last 6.
Best Bet: Houston +10.5 @1.43.
Feeling Lucky: Houston +3.5 @1.91.
Atlanta @ Denver
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 9 | Atlanta | 102.1 | 99.8 | +2.3 |
| 25 | Denver | 99.5 | 103.5 | -4 |
The Say
Denver are almost a good thing these days with the spread. Their last 13 games have been decided by no more than 7 points. Atlanta embarrassed us all with their loss to Phoenix.
Best Bet: Denver +11.5 @1.41.
Feeling Lucky: Either team by less than 7 @2.70.
Detroit @ Utah
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 10 | Detroit | 101.9 | 100.3 | +1.6 |
| 13 | Utah | 97.7 | 97.4 | +0.3 |
The Say
190 combined has been the lowest score for both these teams in the last 6 and that was the Jazz against the Lakers who even keep the Warriors below par. The Total Points Over will prevail. Couldn’t tell you who’d win though.
Best Bet: Over 188.5 @1.60.
Feeling Lucky: Detroit WIN @2.06.
Charlotte @ Sacramento
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 11 | Charlotte | 101.8 | 101 | +0.8 |
| 19 | Sacramento | 106.1 | 107.2 | -1.1 |
The Say
The Hornets and Kings have proven most punters wrong lately while Sacramento are on a 5 game winning streak. We are going with form here and defeating the Clippers, Hawks and Pacers is pretty impressive. Go Boogie!
Best Bet: Sacramento WIN @1.44.
Feeling Lucky: Sacramento -5.5 @1.91.
San Antonio @ Golden State
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 1 | San Antonio | 104.3 | 89.8 | +14.5 |
| 2 | Golden State | 114.7 | 102.6 | +12.1 |
The Say
We get the game that we wanted, as we are all treated to the matchup of the season between the Warriors and Spurs. Its amazing to think this will be the first game of 4 between these two, not forgetting, the Warriors haven’t even encountered the Thunder yet. The Big Fundamental has been ruled out so we are going for the home team, still undefeated there.
Best Bet: Golden State WIN @1.46.
Feeling Lucky: Over 209.0 @1.91.
