Our best bet of the day is Atlanta at home against a strong Utah defense. We love the defense from the Jazz (ranking #1), but just start scoring some points! Then we will happily make you our bet of the day next week…
$$$$$$ Today’s BEST 3 BETS $$$$$
Atlanta WIN @$1.37
Oklahoma WIN @$1.44
Detroit WIN @$1.57
New Orleans at New York
+4 |
+/- |
-4 |
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 20 | New York | 98.9 | 99.7 | -0.8 |
| 29 | New Orleans | 101.7 | 111 | -9.3 |
The Best Bet : Knicks -5 @$1.91. The Knicks are losing more than they are winning, but at no point have they been blown out, and are only losing by 1-5. The Pelicans on the other hand haven’t even looked like winning, and are frequently losing by 10+. The Knicks will cruise through this one at Madison Square Garden.
Feeling Lucky: Nope.
Memphis at Minnesota
– 2.5 |
+/- |
+ 2.5 |
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 28 | Memphis | 91.3 | 100.6 | -9.3 |
| 19 | Minnesota | 102.8 | 103.4 | -0.6 |
The Best Bet : Minnesota +2.5 @$1.91. Memphis are just not playing well enough to warrant a bet here. At home the Twolves should pull through in a tight one. Andrew Wiggins in his second year is averaging 20.5 ppg, he is starting to look like the star he was projected to be.
Feeling Lucky : Minnesota WIN @$2.23
Portland at Charlotte
+ 4.5 |
+/- |
– 4.5 |
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 18 | Portland | 103.1 | 103.6 | -0.5 |
| 13 | Charlotte | 100.9 | 99.8 | +1.1 |
The Best Bet : Under 204.0 @$1.91. Portland just don’t look the same without Lamarcus Aldridge. Damian Lillard is averaging 25.3 ppg and 7.4 apg, but that’ about as impressive as the roster gets. I can’t see this game being high scoring.
Feeling Lucky : Portland WIN @$2.68. The Hornets aren’t that good.
Utah at Atlanta
+ 3 |
+/- |
– 3 |
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 8 | Utah | 95.3 | 91.3 | +4 |
| 9 | Atlanta | 103.4 | 100.6 | +2.8 |
The Best Bet : Atlanta WIN @$1.37. Being pretty conservative here. The Jazz are a very solid defensive team, ranking #1, but relying on that to win night in and night out is draining. Love to see a little more offense from them before I’m convinced. At home against a solid Hawks outfit will be too much.
Feeling Lucky : Not with this one. Just stick with the Atlanta WIN.
Boston at Oklahoma
+ 5.5 |
+/- |
– 5.5 |
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 7 | Boston | 101.8 | 97.4 | +4.4 |
| 3 | Oklahoma | 113.3 | 104.6 | +8.7 |
The Best Bet : Oklahoma WIN @$1.44. Pretty happy with this value. With Westbrook and on the court at home, we can’t see any value in the $2.88 the Celtics are offering. Durant is still out with a hamstring injury, but still, OKC thanks.
Feeling Lucky : Oklahoma 6-10 @$4.4o.
Toronto at Sacramento
– 3 |
+/- |
+ 3 |
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 6 | Toronto | 102.1 | 96.1 | +6 |
| 23 | Sacramento | 103.5 | 108.6 | -5.1 |
The Best Bet : Toronto WIN @$1.67. The average points difference for this sways us.
Feeling Lucky : Not with this one. This could reaally go either way. With the Raptors as a little streaky, we’ll stick with the best bet.
Detroit at LA Lakers
– 4 |
+/- |
+ 4 |
| RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
| 12 | Detroit | 98.1 | 96.8 | +1.3 |
| 25 | LA Lakers | 99.4 | 106.2 | -6.8 |
The Best Bet : Detroit WIN @$1.57. We love the way they play, but not enough to cover the line.
Feeling Lucky: Kobe Bryant 1st Basket @$13.00. Because if anybody is going to take a shot, it’s this guy. We just need it to drop.
