15 Miami 95.9 95.9 0

Picks against the spread

The Say

With the Spurs having a five game lead over the Thunder, and a matchup against them and the Warriors still to come, Coach Pop can’t afford to start pulling out the rest card just yet. The old timers in Duncan and Parker will get some rest over All-star break. Miami have their own old timers who will be going to Toronto, so it will be a big week for them. Spurs love to keep their opponents score down while the Heat don’t score much which is advantage San Antonio.

Best Bet: San Antonio -2.5 @1.47

Feeling Lucky: Under 193.5 @1.87


Washington @ New York

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
22 Washington 102.7 105.4 -2.7
21 New York 99 101.1 -2.1

Picks against the spread

The Say

Phil Jackson is playing job seeker for his Laker mates with Derek Fisher out the door and Rambis in. Apparently Walton and Shaw are next on his list. Both teams are pushing for that 7-8th position and Washington have had had the run of this matchup in recent years. Melo is still a little rusty with the Knicks falling to 1-9 in the last 10.

Best Bet: Washington +6.5 @1.48

Feeling Lucky: Washington WIN @2.00


Boston @ Milwaukee

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
6 Boston 105 100.7 +4.3
26 Milwaukee 97.8 102.9 -5.1

Picks against the spread

The Say

Boston have just taken over 3rd spot in the East which puts them in a good position to meet Cleveland in the ECF if all things pan out. After shocking us all with their buzzer beating win over the Cavs, its amazing to think… how the hell did they lose to the Lakers!? The Bucks have got one thing going for them, which is home court where they are 13-8. The Celtics are a good thing.

Best Bet: Boston WIN @1.53

Feeling Lucky: Boston 1-10 @2.72


Utah @ Dallas

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
10 Utah 97.4 95.9 +1.5
16 Dallas 100.5 101.3 -0.8

Picks against the spread

The Say

The strange thing here is that Utah are on a 6 game win streak, albeit against struggling teams and are within 2 games from Dallas. A win for either team will have impacts on the other. This will be too hard to tip.

Best Bet: Utah +12.5 @1.20

Feeling Lucky: Dallas 1-10 @2.75


Houston @ Golden State

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
18 Houston 104.9 106.3 -1.4
2 Golden State 115.4 102.8 +12.6

Picks against the spread

The Say

Golden State will win…

Best Bet: Golden State -6.5

Feeling Lucky: Golden State -12 @1.91
