Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 216.5 @-110 – Their last matchup was just over a week ago where both sides scored over 110 points. The Knicks have scored over 100 points in 9 out of the last 10 games.

20.03.14 – Toronto Raptors 107 @ New Orleans Pelicans 100
Picks –
Best Bet: Dont go here – The Raptors used to be money at home but have severely fallen off the rails with a 1-6 record in their last 7 games. During that slide, Toronto have averaged 99 points per game (10 below their season average). Stay away.
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Under 215.0 @-110 – The lack of scoring for the Raptors is a concern and are ripe for the picking (again).

Picks –
Best Bet: Too short – The Kings are on a B2B and travelling across the country after a close loss to the 76ers.
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 224.5 @-110 – Houston love to score and so have the Kings on their 7 game long road trip averaging 108 points per game.

11.05.16 – Oklahoma City Thunder 95 @ San Antonio Spurs 91
09.05.16 – San Antonio Spurs 97 @ Oklahoma City Thunder 111
07.05.16 – San Antonio Spurs 100 @ Oklahoma City Thunder 96
03.05.16 – Oklahoma City Thunder 98 @ San Antonio Spurs 97
Picks –
Best Bet: San Antonio WIN – OKC has won 4 of the last 5 in this matchup, with this being the first matchup this season. The last two losses the Spurs would rather forget, having been wiped out by OKC in last years Western Conference Semi Finals.
Westbrook currently still walks the triple double line with 30.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game.
Last time out the Thunder churned out a stinker against the Cavs, with 16 turnovers and 37 from the field. We’d expect some improvement on that here, but not enough to beat the deeper Spurs at AT&T.
Feeling Lucky: OKC +9.0 @-110 – May be within single digits.
Charlotte @ Portland
Win/Loss
| TEAM | HOME | ROAD |
| Charlotte | 15-10 | 8-15 |
| Portland | 13-10 | 8-18 |
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Charlotte | 105.2 | 103.6 | +1.6 |
| Portland | 107.6 | 110.2 | -2.6 |
Last 5
19.01.17 – Portland Trail Blazers 85 @ Charlotte Hornets 107
30.01.16 – Charlotte Hornets 91 @ Portland Trail Blazers 109
16.11.15 – Portland Trail Blazers 94 @ Charlotte Hornets 106
27.11.14 – Portland Trail Blazers 105 @ Charlotte Hornets 97
12.11.14 – Charlotte Hornets 100 @ Portland Trail Blazers 102
Picks –
Best Bet: Charlotte -3.0 @-110 – The Hornets have lost their last 4, with 3 of those to quality opposition, while the Blazers have split their last 10. No dominant form leaning to either side here.
Kemba Walker has been doing work for the Hornets with 23.3 ppg and 5.5 apg, while Nicolas Batum has provided a very handy 14.9 ppg, 7.4 rpg and 6.0 apg. For the Blazers, Damian Lillard has 26.2 ppg, 5.8 apg and 4.7 rpg.
We lean towards the line on Charlotte here, with plenty of points expected due to the ability of both teams to catch fire, and Portland’s awful, turnstile defense.
Feeling Lucky: Total Points Over 214.0 – See above.
Denver @ LA Lakers
Win/Loss
| TEAM | HOME | ROAD |
| Denver | 12-11 | 9-14 |
| LA Lakers | 11-13 | 5-21 |
Points +/-
| TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| Denver | 110.3 | 111.1 | -0.8 |
| LA Lakers | 103.6 | 110 | -6.4 |
Last 5
18.01.17 – Denver Nuggets 127 @ Los Angeles Lakers 121
10.10.16 – Denver Nuggets 115 @ Los Angeles Lakers 124
08.10.16 – Denver Nuggets 101 @ Los Angeles Lakers 97
26.03.16 – Denver Nuggets 116 @ Los Angeles Lakers 105
03.03.16 – Los Angeles Lakers 107 @ Denver Nuggets 117
Picks –
Best Bet: Denver -2.0 @-110 – The Lakers have been as bad lately as the Nuggets have been good. This one will go to Denver, even with the loss of Jokic. The Lakers are still without Russell to an MCL strain, and they will fall to 9 losses from their last 10 after tonight.
Lakers no chance. We’ll take the straight win for the Nuggets in the parlay however.
Feeling Lucky: Denver Nuggets 11+ @3.78
