| New York | 105.5 | 108.1 | -2.6 |
| Atlanta | 103.0 | 103.2 | -0.2 |
Picks –
Best Bet: Atlanta WIN @-270 – Rose hurt his ankle in the last outing, so you can almost guarantee he will will sit for the next, and/or be ineffective. Knicks are 13-5 ATS in the last 18 outings against the Hawks, and although we tip the Hawks will win, it will be within the line.
Feeling Lucky: Atlanta 1-10 @2.41 – Hawks to win in a whisper.
Oklahoma City @ Cleveland

12.12.14 – Cleveland Cavaliers 94 @ Oklahoma City Thunder 103
21.03.14 – Oklahoma City Thunder 102 @ Cleveland Cavaliers 95
Picks –
Best Bet: Stay away – Not really ready to make a claim on a line bet either way here, as the Cavs are in struggle town having won just 6 over their last 10, with the Thunder 3-7 over the same stretch. No go Joe.
Feeling Lucky: Nope – If ever we expected an overs at home it would be Cleveland against OKC, however the stats prove otherwise, stay away.
Houston @ Indiana

08.03.14 – Indiana Pacers 86 @ Houston Rockets 112
Picks –
Best Bet: Nope. Nope all the way to the bank.
Feeling Lucky: Houston -3.0 @-110 – Eric Gordon is questionable, stay away either way.
Washington @ New Orleans
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Washington | 106.7 | 105.3 | +1.4 |
| New Orleans | 103.7 | 106.2 | -2.5 |

30.11.14 – New Orleans Pelicans 80 @ Washington Wizards 83
21.10.14 – New Orleans Pelicans 88 @ Washington Wizards 84
Picks –
Best Bet: Washington -1.0 @-110 –The Wizards dare we say it, may be the the form team of the competition (shhhh Warriors). The problem here however though, is the fact that they are facing an up and coming young team in the NBA, and that’s dangerous.
The Wizards won 7 of their last 8 games and are 10-4 in January.
“We’re a totally different team,” Beal said. “In every way. Our confidence, our swag as a team. Everything is a lot better.”
Washington to have the swag tonight.
Feeling Lucky: Washington 1-10 @2.62 (+162)
Orlando @ Toronto
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Orlando | 99.7 | 105.4 | -5.7 |
| Toronto | 109.6 | 104.4 | +5.2 |
Last 5
19.12.16 – Toronto Raptors 109 @ Orlando Magic 79
21.03.16 – Orlando Magic 100 @ Toronto Raptors 105
15.01.16 – Toronto Raptors 106 @ Orlando Magic 103 – OT
07.11.15 – Toronto Raptors 87 @ Orlando Magic 92
11.04.15 – Toronto Raptors 101 @ Orlando Magic 99
Picks –
Best Bet: Toronto WIN @ -714 – The Raptors have won 14 out of the last 15 games against the Magic. Even if they are coming out of a slump, that’s enough intel for us.
Feeling Lucky: Toronto -11.0 @ -110 – DeRozan is 50/50 to return and with the Raptors in trouble of losing the 2nd seed, a big win tonight is a must to steer them back on track.
Philadelphia @ Chicago
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Chicago | 101.2 | 101.5 | -0.3 |
| Philadelphia | 100.3 | 105.4 | -5.1 |
Last 5
26.11.16 – Chicago Bulls 105 @ Philadelphia 76ers 89
14.04.16 – Philadelphia 76ers 105 @ Chicago Bulls 115
15.01.16 – Chicago Bulls 115 @ Philadelphia 76ers 111 – OT
15.12.15 – Philadelphia 76ers 96 @ Chicago Bulls 115
10.11.15 – Chicago Bulls 111 @ Philadelphia 76ers 88
Picks –
Best Bet: Chicago WIN @-256 – The 76ers are a team where you cant look back at form from even 3 weeks ago as they are a completely different unit since then. However with Joel Embiid sitting tonight, the Bulls with all their locker room troubles have to take this one or Coach Hoiberg will just about be looking for a new job Monday morning.
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 205.5 – Without Embiid pushing the Bulls in a shootout, it will be difficult to see a high scoring encounter tonight.
Dallas Mavericks @ San Antonio Spurs
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Dallas | 96.7 | 100.1 | -3.4 |
| San Antonio | 107.6 | 99.2 | +8.4 |
Last 5
01.12.16 – San Antonio Spurs 94 @ Dallas Mavericks 87
22.11.16 – Dallas Mavericks 91 @ San Antonio Spurs 96
14.04.16 – San Antonio Spurs 96 @ Dallas Mavericks 91
06.02.16 – San Antonio Spurs 116 @ Dallas Mavericks 90
18.01.16 – Dallas Mavericks 83 @ San Antonio Spurs 112
Picks –
Best Bet: Total Points Under 196.5 @ -110 – The Spurs have won the last 7 games against the Mavericks but are way too short to go H2H and havent been in the best form themselves to be tipping a blowout win against their Texas neighbors. Like the Under with this one where the Spurs can strangle a poor offense.
Feeling Lucky: Take the above
Golden State @ Portland
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Golden State | 118.1 | 104.7 | +13.4 |
| Portland | 107.5 | 110.2 | -2.7 |
Last 5
05.01.17 – Portland Trail Blazers 117 @ Golden State Warriors 125
18.12.16 – Portland Trail Blazers 90 @ Golden State Warriors 135
02.11.16 – Golden State Warriors 127 @ Portland Trail Blazers 104
22.10.16 – Portland Trail Blazers 96 @ Golden State Warriors 107
12.05.16 – Portland Trail Blazers 121 @ Golden State Warriors 125
Picks –
Best Bet: Golden State WIN @ -562 – Including Playoffs, the Warriors have won the last 6 games against the Blazers three of which have come in season 16/17. The teams do have similar game plans by living and dying by the three but its tough to pick against a team at 40-7.
Feeling Lucky: Golden State -9.5 @ -110 – The Warriors put on a show last night destroying the Clippers by 46 points. Scoring 72 of their 144 total points in the second half where none of their starters played more than 29 minutes. Fresh legs tonight.
