Today the best bet has to be the Clippers for the W in Houston. How they started betting as favourites is beyond me.
The Bucks nearly handed the Warriors their second loss, which would have been embarrassing after bringing in those 18-10 t-shirts.
20 years go today the Bulls moved to 21-2 on their way to the NBA seasons win record of 72-10.

The Say
Not much to add in terms of where this game will go. The Thunder will demolish the Lakers and there will no doubt be the hugs and kisses at the end to farewell Kobe. Durant was pretty vocal in his opinion of Kobe and how the media treat him so look out for them to ham it up for the cameras. Thunder at any line you think.
Best Bet: Oklahoma -12.5 @1.50

The Say
Washington cant seem to put it together consistently. They do cause the odd upset but they are too risky to pick in any game, home or away. Their season is slipping away game by game while the Hornets will be looking to build on the win against the Raptors at home. I think the Hornets could take this but maybe play the handicap with this matchup.
Best Bet: Charlotte at the line within 12 should be sufficient.

The Say
After 4 overtimes against the Pistons at home, the Bulls are on a flight to New York for the Knicks tonight. No doubt they will be on the Gatorades, IV and Lamar’s candy stash to get the energy up. They baiscally played another half of basketball while the Knicks had their game sawn up by half time. Chicago are favourites but the fatigue would have to play a major factor here. Will the Knicks go 4 in a row?
Best Bet: New York +10 @1.91.

Geez the Rockets are regarded favourites here. LA might be a little under done with their tough loss to the Spurs last night but are talented enough to back it up against another Texas matchup. Our last memory of these two was in the Western Semis where Houston made “the comeback” but that feels like a lifetime ago looking at each teams form this season. Clippers within 6 or the WIN.
Best Bet: LA Clippers +6 @1.91.

The Say
The Grizzlies have been putting out their small ball lineup for the last 4 games and not much has improved. They don’t have the game plan or players to match it with the best and will be tested tonight. For the Pacers to put the pressure on the Cavs, a win tonight will indeed do so. The team with the best player (PG13) should have enough to get within 6 or WIN.
Best Bet: Indiana +6.5 @1.49
