Tonight’s 3 NBA Games:

Utah @ Washington

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
10 Utah 97.8 96.4 +1.4
22 Washington 102.7 105.4 -2.7

The Say

Washington went to Toronto a day early with their disappointing effort against the Bucks. With trades in the air, both teams are in the market to improve. Looking at both options, Utah could be without a point guard while Washington are among rumors of landing a big fish…. With the deadline approaching, the safe option is the home side.

Best Bet: Washington +8.5 @1.23

Feeling Lucky: Washington 1-10 @3.00


Chicago @ Cleveland

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
4 Cleveland 102.9 96.9 +6
15 Chicago 101.2 101.9 -0.7

The Say

Chicago are another team who could be looking very different come deadline. Have been rumored to be shopping Pau and Taj, while Jimmy is still recovering from injury. The Cavs have the upper hand….. and LeBron.

Best Bet: Cleveland -8.5 @1.51

Feeling Lucky: Cleveland 11+ @1.80


San Antonio @ LA Clippers

Points +/- Rank

RK TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
7 LA Clippers 104.7 100.8 +3.9
1 San Antonio 105 91.8 +13.2

The Say

Apart from all the negative press over the Blake fisty cuffs, LA have been travelling OK, but have got their biggest test during non-Griffin period, taking on the Spurs at home. These two teams historically have close contests at Staples, with LA stealing the %. Both teams will be missing keys players and likely some depth, depending on the deadline deals…

Best Bet: San Antonio WIN @1.53

Feeling Lucky: San Antonio 1-10 @2.80
