Steph Curry just keep dancing. As we’ve said, the GIF stops, when the Warriors streak stops, so stop reminding us it’s the same GIF! He will dance….for as long……as it takes.
The Warriors made it 21-0 in what was a close call against the Raptors (109-112), ad up against the Nets today, it should become 22-0.
Yesterday the Bulls let us down yet again, and they continue to be as streaky as Derrick Roses’ shot selection. If only they could pull themselves together, we’d be more likely to throw them into a parlay. Until they prove that consistency is part of their game, they are benched with the Mavericks.

Oklahoma -4.5 @1.39.
Memphis WIN @1.44.
Golden State -11 @1.92.
Phoenix at Memphis
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 16 | Phoenix | 106.3 | 106 | +0.3 |
| 21 | Memphis | 96.4 | 99.9 | -3.5 |
Phoenix Suns $2.88 | Memphis Grizzlies $1.44
The Say:
The Grizzlies are having a better season than what punters expected based on some big losses to the Cavs and Warriors. They still struggle against the elite teams, as seen against the Spurs on Friday, but with a Western Conference that is under achieving, the Grizzlies ground and pound game style is still worthy of home court advantage.
The Suns have fallen into a hole only winning 1 out of the last 8 and now see themselves only half a game ahead of the Nuggets. With Chandler going down, the lineups have been changing nightly but to no success and their defense remains non existent. This makes the 2nd last game of a 6 game long road-trip for the Suns, the Memphis talls will be too strong for the undermanned Suns.
The Best Bet: Memphis WIN @1.44.
Golden State at Brooklyn
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 1 | Golden State | 115.3 | 99.9 | +15.4 |
| 26 | Brooklyn | 95.4 | 102.3 | -6.9 |
Golden State Warriors $1.15 | Brooklyn Nets $5.80
The Say:
This matchup in Oakland earlier in the season was almost the streak buster with a Lopez tip-in missing by the smallest of smallest amounts. Will it be a similar rematch? I think when one team has a 21-0 record, it will be very one sided. The only thing the Nets could wish for is a fatigued Warriors unit coming off a close victory against the Raptors last night. This marks the 4th game out of 7 on the road for the Warriors.
In the previous matchup, ex-teammate Jarrett Jack was able to make the Warriors nervous at times with constant drives and very tight play on Curry. Bogut and Barnes are doubtful but it wont matter the end result.
The Best Bet: Golden State -11 @1.92.
LA Lakers at Detroit
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 29 | LA Lakers | 96.8 | 105.4 | -8.6 |
| 15 | Detroit | 98.4 | 97.8 | +0.6 |
Los Angeles Lakers $4.80 | Detroit Pistons $1.20
The Say:
The Kobe retirement tour makes its way to Auburn Hill today, a place where Bryant witnessed his first career Championship Series loss and the end of the 1-2 punch Shaq/Kobe era.
These two teams met a few weeks ago where the Lakers took the chocies and notched a 2nd win for the year. D’Angelo Russell is starting to have a bigger impact for the Lakers which is about time considering all the bench warming he has been doing in most 4th quarters. Russell had an impressive game against the Hawks notching up his first career double/double with 16 points & 10 boards.
The Pistons are currently on a 3 game winning streak and have had good success at home with a 7-2 record. SVG has stuck with his 3pt shooting lineup all year which has had mixed results on the defensive end. In a tough Central division, the Pistons need this win to stay ahead of Boston, New York and Orlando. The Drummond/Jackson combo is working wonders for Detroit and usually paves the way to a W when they both fire.
The Best Bet: LA Lakers +9 @1.91.
Dallas at Washington
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 17 | Dallas | 100.6 | 100.5 | +0.1 |
| 23 | Washington | 99.9 | 104.2 | -4.3 |
Dallas Mavericks $1.78 | Washington Wizards $2.09
The Say:
Both are 5 and 5 over the last 10. Washington will again be without leading rebounder Marcin Gortat (12.0ppg, 8.7 rpg) with a family emergency. The Wizards were also without big men Nene (calf), Drew Gooden (calf) and Kris Kardashian Humphries (ankle) over the last 2 games. With the tall timber on the sidelines, it’s been a small lineup for the Wizards, and they managed to pull off an impressive 109-106 win over the Suns last time out.
“We definitely miss our bigs, but when it’s a matchup of guards, it’s always fun,” guard Bradley Beal said. “Who’s going to get the most rebounds now? Who’s going to want it the most? Cause there’s no excuses about height or size or anything.
Dallas has lost 5 of the last 7 and are facing their own struggles. With one of the best 7 footers in NBA history in Dirk Nowitzki (17.4 ppg. 7.3 rpg) and new addition Zaza Pachulia (10.9 ppg, 10.2 rpg) bringing some authority to the paint, the Mavs will gobble up every rebound, and second shot opportunities will win this for them.
The Best Bet: Dallas WIN @1.78.
Sacramento at Oklahoma
Points +/- Rank
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 22 | Sacramento | 104.9 | 108.8 | -3.9 |
| 24 | Houston | 102.2 | 107.6 | -5.4 |
Sacramento Kings $8.75 | Oklahoma City Thunder $1.08
The Thunder are on a slide, but facing the Kings should put a halt to that. Durant and Westbrook have combined for 109 points over the last 2 games. The rest of the starters however have only managed to tally a lowly 42.
“We gotta put games together. We gotta put four or five games; good games together,” said Durant (28.2 ppg). “I think we’ve been too inconsistent and that starts with me. I gotta definitely up the level of my teammates every single time I’m on the court. I gotta do a way better job.”
The Kings are giving away points (144.1 pg) on the road like it’s going out of fashion, and will continue to do so in Oklahoma.
The Best Bet: Oklahoma -4.5 @1.39.
