Miami 13-13 10-17
Brooklyn 7-21 2-23

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Miami 100.8 101.9 -1.1
Brooklyn 105.3 114.1 -8.8

Last 5

31.01.17 – Brooklyn Nets 96 @ Miami Heat 104
26.01.17 – Miami Heat 109 @ Brooklyn Nets 106

27.01.16 – Miami Heat 102 @ Brooklyn Nets 98
29.12.15 – Brooklyn Nets 111 @ Miami Heat 105

Picks –

This will be the 3rd time the Heat will face the Nets during their 12 game win streak – lucky them. Although Brooklyn showed some fight against the Wizards at home on a B2B the other night, its hard to look past the streaking Heat who are currently 2 games behind the Pistons (who play the Spurs tonight) for the 8th seed.

Best Bet: Miami WIN @1.35 (-286)

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 213.5 @1.91 (-110)


San Antonio @ Detroit

12.02.15 – San Antonio Spurs 104 @ Detroit Pistons 87
07.01.15 – Detroit Pistons 105 @ San Antonio Spurs 104

Picks –

The last game between these two teams ended with a Spurs win with a combined points of 182 which has given us confidence in the Under, not-forgetting, the streak San Antonio hold over the Pistons with none of them topping 209.0 combined.

Best Bet: San Antonio WIN @1.51 (-196)

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 209.5 @1.91 (-110)


Denver @ New York

10.03.15 – New York Knicks 78 @ Denver Nuggets 106
17.11.14 – Denver Nuggets 93 @ New York Knicks 109

Picks –

The circus has well and truly setup shop at MSG where another loss could just about be the end. We have more hope of another Knicks legend getting ejected than to tip the home side tonight. The Nuggets have won the last 4 against New York, although, 3 of them were in Denver.

Best Bet: No Way

Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 228.0 @1.91 (-110)


Golden State @ Memphis

Win/Loss

Golden State 23-3 21-5

Golden State 118.3 105.1 +13.2

07.01.17 – Memphis Grizzlies 128 @ Golden State Warriors 119 – OT
11.12.16 – Golden State Warriors 89 @ Memphis Grizzlies 110
14.04.16 – Memphis Grizzlies 104 @ Golden State Warriors 125
10.04.16 – Golden State Warriors 100 @ Memphis Grizzlies 99
12.11.15 – Golden State Warriors 100 @ Memphis Grizzlies 84

Picks –

The Warriors couldn’t possibly lose for a 3rd time this season to the Grizzlies. The OT loss at home came after a 24 point lead at the break where the Warriors shot selection came under scrutiny by fellow team mate Draymond Green. The Warriors have already played their bad game of the week in Sacramento, cant see another one yet (sorry Grizzlies).

Best Bet: Golden State WIN @1.28 (-357)

Feeling Lucky: Golden State -7.0 @1.95 (-105)


LA Lakers @ Milwaukee

05.02.15 – Los Angeles Lakers 105 @ Milwaukee Bucks 113 – OT
28.03.14 – Los Angeles Lakers 105 @ Milwaukee Bucks 108

Picks –

The loss of Jabari Parker with a torn ACL against Miami on Wednesday is a massive blow to a Bucks team that is now firmly entrenched is Struggle Town.

The good news is that they get to face the Lakers, who’s awful road record gives us some confidence here. This one won’t go near the parlay however.

Best Bet: Nope.

Feeling Lucky: Milwaukee -3.5 @1.91 (-110) or Total Points Over 219.5 @1.91 (-110)


New Orleans @ Minnesota

09.02.16 – New Orleans Pelicans 116 @ Minnesota Timberwolves 102
20.01.16 – Minnesota Timberwolves 99 @ New Orleans Pelicans 114

Picks –

Neither team are worth risking your hard earned cash on. It’s the home team here, with not much other reason than home court.

Minnesota by single figures.

The home team is 12-3 ATS in the last 15 outings.

Best Bet: Nope.

Feeling Lucky: Minnesota WIN @


Indiana @ Washington

16.01.16 – Washington Wizards 118 @ Indiana Pacers 104
25.11.15 – Indiana Pacers 123 @ Washington Wizards 106

Picks –

Indiana broke a 7 game winning streak last out with a high scoring loss to the Cavs. The Wizards (31-21) are still in form with just 5 losses over their last 20.

We’ll go with the Wizards at home here, with Indiana showing over the season that they’d prefer not to travel.

Best Bet: Washington WIN @1.48 (-212)

Feeling Lucky: Washington -5.0 @1.91 (-110)

Feeling Very Lucky: Washington Wizards 1-10 @2.40 (+140)


Chicago @ Phoenix

Win/Loss

Chicago 15-11 11-16
Phoenix 8-17 8-20

Points +/-

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Chicago 102.4 102.5 -0.1
Phoenix 106.3 112.6 -6.3

Last 5

08.12.15 – Phoenix Suns 103 @ Chicago Bulls 101
19.11.15 – Chicago Bulls 103 @ Phoenix Suns 97
22.02.15 – Phoenix Suns 107 @ Chicago Bulls 112
31.01.15 – Chicago Bulls 93 @ Phoenix Suns 99
05.02.14 – Chicago Bulls 101 @ Phoenix Suns 92

Picks –

Phoenix are 2-8 over their last 10, while the Bulls have split their last 10.

Wade is questionable with illness while the return of Butler (heel) is a probability, but not a certainty after getting through a full practice after missing three.

This one is a coin toss, but we lean towards the Bulls here. Best to wait for the overs markets.

Best Bet: Nope.

Feeling Lucky: Chicago +1.5 @1.91 (-110)


Atlanta @ Sacramento

Win/Loss

TEAM HOME ROAD
Atlanta 16-11 15-11
Sacramento 10-15 11-17

01.11.16 – Sacramento Kings 95 @ Atlanta Hawks 106
22.01.16 – Atlanta Hawks 88 @ Sacramento Kings 91

17.03.15 – Atlanta Hawks 110 @ Sacramento Kings 103
10.03.15 – Sacramento Kings 105 @ Atlanta Hawks 130

Picks –

The Kings took out the Celtics without Boogie last out, and tonight the big man returns.

Atlanta have a solid road record, however still have a -0.3 points differential despite a 31-22 season record. Wins are big and losses are big for the Hawks this season. This one will be a win.

Atlanta are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Sacramento.

Best Bet: Atlanta WIN @1.82 (-120)

Feeling Lucky: Atlanta -1.5 @1.91 (-110)
