Tonight’s games below…
LA Clippers at Brooklyn
The Preview
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
11 | LA Clippers | 102.3 | 100.8 | +1.5 |
26 | Brooklyn | 96.4 | 102.4 | -6 |
The Say
Clippers would be looking to make amends from their close defeat to the Bulls where Blake Griffin was ejected for taking out Taj. Meanwhile in Brooklyn, the Nets are currently on a mini streak and if they could steal a win at home it would be 3 in a row. Take that Boston.
Best Bet: LA Clippers WIN @1.48.
Boston at Charlotte
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
6 | Boston | 103.9 | 99 | +4.9 |
5 | Charlotte | 103.1 | 98 | +5.1 |
The Say
The Celtics would have to be weary after their double overtime loss to the Warriors, and lucky them, they get to face the other inform team of the league. Right now, we cant pick against the Hornets. Yes they are surprising us all, and getting contributions from all players. With an impeccable home record and fresher legs, we are thinking the Hornets.
Best Bet: Could be a survival of the fittest, go the under.
Indiana at Detroit
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
6 | Indiana | 103.9 | 99 | +4.9 |
13 | Detroit | 98.4 | 97.5 | +0.9 |
Last Time Around
The Say
Both teams are coming off good wins, the Pacers silenced the Heat again at home while the Pistons put the cue in the rack very early against the 76ers. Indy are flowing offensively and could have too many scoring answers, not forgetting Paul George.
Feeling Lucky: Indiana 1-10 @2.62
San Antonio at Atlanta
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
2 | San Antonio | 100.3 | 88.6 | +11.7 |
11 | Atlanta | 101 | 99.6 | +1.4 |
The Say
LaMarcus had a big game boosting the confidence against the Lakers and now he gets to show it to Horford and Millsap tonight. The Hawks haven’t been able to capture the brilliance of last year and will have their hands full against Kawhi, Aldridge, Duncan and co…… I could just name the whole roster. The Spurs are only 5 games behind the Warriors. Put that into perspective, they aren’t doing that bad either.
Best Bet: San Antonio WIN @1.67.
New Orleans at Chicago
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
28 | New Orleans | 102 | 108.9 | -6.9 |
16 | Chicago | 98.1 | 97.7 | +0.4 |
The Say
It’s a different story every night for the Bulls depending which version of themselves take the court. They were able to just take care of the Clippers with Griffin getting ejected and will need a focussed Gasol and Noah to keep AD quiet. The Pelicans missed Ryan Anderson last night who is being thrown around in some trade rumours, but still got the job done against the Wizards. Expect this to be close with Rose and Tyreke going head to head.
Feeling Lucky: Chicago 1-10 @2.32.
LA Lakers at Houston
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
29 | LA Lakers | 97 | 106.4 | -9.4 |
23 | Houston | 103.3 | 107.2 | -3.9 |
The Say
The best thing about this game is hopefully getting more D’Angelo Russell and less of anything else the Lakers are putting out. Since Kobe told coach to let the kids get their feet dirty, Russell has been putting up career highs. And then we have Houston. It’s more likely they will come out and destroy the Lakers only because they know there won’t spend much effort to do that. And also, the other best thing is seeing Dwight and Kobe interact, they really hate each other.
Best Bet: Houston -11.5 @1.91
Washington at Dallas
Points +/- Rank
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
22 | Washington | 101.2 | 105 | -3.8 |
14 | Dallas | 101.1 | 100.3 | +0.8 |
The Say
After a tough loss to the Pelicans, the Wizards head further west to take on the Mavs with or without Beal. Dirk and co are getting by but can’t get the most out of Wes Matthews and Chandler Parsons. The two are coming of major off-season surgeries and we won’t be able to get a clear gauge on the Mavs until they are up and running 100%
Best Bet: Dallas WIN @1.35
Golden State at Milwaukee
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
1 | Golden State | 116.1 | 102 | +14.1 |
27 | Milwaukee | 95 | 101.4 | -6.4 |
The Say
Golden State have won 24 in a row, undefeated. That’s all.
Best Bet: Golden State WIN @1.25.
New York at Portland
RK | TEAM | OWN | OPP | DIFF |
20 | New York | 96.7 | 98.8 | -2.1 |
17 | Portland | 101.6 | 101.6 | 0 |
Last Time Out
The Say
New York are starting to fall completely off now where the early season surprises are starting to be forgotten, but not Porzingis. The Knicks look to push teams with their 3 point game and will need them and more as the Blazers are tough to beat at home. Portland have big last quarter on the defensive end against the Suns to steal the game. McCollum continues his break out season, averaging almost 20 ppg.
Best Bet: Portland WIN @1.67.
