GOLDEN STATE @ CHARLOTTE

Over/Under Prediction: Over 217.5 Total Points

The recent trend of the Hornets’ games going Over, with their last 4 games surpassing the total points line, suggests a propensity for higher-scoring outcomes. Although the Golden State Warriors have a trend towards hitting the Game Total Under in 20 of their last 29 games, the Hornets’ recent Overs, combined with their ability to score against the Warriors in their home games, points towards a potential for this game to exceed the total points line of 217.5.

ATS Prediction: Golden State Warriors -11.0

The Warriors’ strong performance as road favorites, winning their last 10 games in such situations, indicates their capability to cover the spread against a Hornets team that has struggled in the first half of their recent games.

Additionally, Golden State’s success in covering the Spread in 24 of their last 35 away games reinforces their potential to cover a -11.0 spread, despite the Hornets’ ability to cover their last 4 home games against the Warriors. The Warriors’ overall form and statistical backing as strong road performers lend confidence to them covering this spread.

Best Pick: Over 217.5 Total Points


LA LAKERS @ INDIANA

Over/Under Prediction: Under 244.5 Total Points

Given the Pacers’ recent trend towards the Under in 11 of their last 15 games, along with both teams’ significant performances in hitting the Game Total Under (Pacers in 26 of their last 38 games and Lakers in 60 of their last 93 games in the 4Q Game Total Under), the game is likely to lean towards an Under outcome.

The total set at 242.5 points appears high, especially with these Under trends and the defensive capabilities that both teams can bring to the game.

ATS Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers +3.5

The Lakers’ recent form, having won their last 5 games, indicates a strong momentum coming into this matchup. Combined with their success on the Moneyline in 17 of their last 24 games, the Lakers seem well-positioned to at least cover the spread, if not win outright.

On the other hand, the Pacers have struggled to cover the spread in their recent home games following a road loss (failing to cover 8 of their last 9 such games), which could be an indicator of challenges in bouncing back in this specific scenario.

Best Pick: Under 244.5 Total Points


LA CLIPPERS @ ORLANDO

Over/Under Prediction: Over 212.0 Total Points

Given the Clippers’ last 5 games have all gone Over, coupled with their recent trend of hitting the 4Q Game Total Over in 19 of their last 26 games, this matchup leans towards an Over outcome.

While both teams have shown capabilities in defense, the Clippers’ scoring momentum and the historical performance in games at the Kia Center suggest the potential for a high-scoring affair, especially with the total set at a relatively modest 210.0 points.

ATS Prediction: LA Clippers -1.5

The Clippers have demonstrated strong away game performance, having won the Moneyline in 23 of their last 31 away games, and have covered 5 of their last 6 games against the Magic at Kia Center.

This consistent ability to perform in away settings, combined with their recent winning streak on the road, supports the prediction that the Clippers can cover the -1.5 spread. The Magic have been formidable against the spread in their recent games, but the Clippers’ momentum and historical edge in matchups at Orlando provide a solid basis for expecting LA to cover.

Best Pick: Over 212.0 Total Points


DETROIT @ WASHINGTON

Over/Under Prediction: Under 228.0 Total Points

Given the Detroit Pistons’ recent trend towards the Under, with 22 of their last 31 games hitting the Game Total Under and 9 of their last 11 road games going Unders, a lower-scoring affair seems probable.

The Wizards’ ability to play strong defense at home, as evidenced by their trend of hitting the Team Total Under in 25 of their last 36 home games, further supports the likelihood of the total falling below 227.0 points. The combined defensive performances and the Pistons’ recent struggles in the first half of games suggest a game that might not reach the high total set.

ATS Prediction: Washington Wizards -3.5

The Washington Wizards’ dominance at home against the Pistons, winning 16 of their last 17 matchups, positions them as favorites to cover the -4.5 spread. This trend, combined with the Wizards’ recent performance covering the 4Q Spread in 31 of their last 46 games, suggests they have the late-game execution to cover the spread against a Pistons team that has struggled significantly in the first half of their recent games.

The Pistons’ recent road game trends and difficulties in covering spreads add to the expectation that the Wizards can outperform the -4.5 spread in this matchup.

Best Pick: Under 228.0 Total Points


CHICAGO @ BROOKLYN

Over/Under Prediction: Under 214.5 Total Points

With 11 of the last 13 games between the Bulls and Nets going Unders, there’s a strong historical trend towards lower-scoring matchups between these teams. Both teams have shown trends towards the Under in their recent games, with the Nets hitting the 3Q Game Total Under in 18 of their last 23 games and the Bulls not particularly trending towards high-scoring outcomes.

The total set at 214.5 points seems optimistic, given the history of these matchups and the recent performance trends of both teams.

ATS Prediction: Brooklyn Nets +3.5

The Nets’ strong performance against Eastern opponents below .500 at home, covering 11 of their last 12 such games, suggests they are well-positioned to cover the spread in this matchup.

Despite the Bulls’ capability to cover the 2Q Spread in 26 of their last 38 games, the Nets’ home game strength and their historical ability to win the first half in their last 7 home games against the Bulls indicate a competitive edge that could see them covering the +4.5 spread.

Best Pick: Under 214.5 Total Points


PHILADELPHIA @ CLEVELAND

Over/Under Prediction: Over 212.5 Total Points

The trend of the Cavaliers’ last 6 games as favorites going Overs, coupled with the 76ers’ recent performance that does not strongly lean towards the Under in their overall matchups, suggests this game might lean towards an Over outcome.

While both teams have shown defensive prowess, the Cavs’ recent tendency in favoring higher-scoring games as favorites and the historical matchups not strongly favoring Unders provide a basis for expecting a total score that exceeds 212.5 points.

ATS Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers +8.5

Given the 76ers’ solid performance against the Cavs in their recent matchups, covering 4 of their last 5 games, and their ability to win the first half in the last 4 games between these teams, Philadelphia appears well-positioned to cover the spread at +7.5.

The 76ers’ success on the Moneyline in away games also supports their capability to keep the game closer than the 7.5-point spread, especially against a Cavaliers team that has struggled to cover as favorites in their last few outings.

Best Pick: Over 212.5 Total Points


PORTLAND @ MIAMI

Over/Under Prediction: Under 209.5 Total Points

The Miami Heat have been strong on the Under, hitting the Game Total Under in 54 of their last 81 games. Combined with their trend of hitting the 4Q Game Total Under in 31 of their last 42 games, and the Blazers’ own trend towards the 4Q Game Total Under in a significant number of their games, this matchup leans towards an Under outcome.

Despite the Blazers’ recent games trending Over, the Heat’s defensive capabilities and the total set at 209.5 points suggest a game that might not reach this total.

ATS Prediction: Miami Heat -14.0

Although the Heat have struggled to cover in their last 7 home games, the Blazers’ difficulty in competing against teams above .500, losing their last 15 matchups, positions Miami as likely to cover the -14.5 spread.

The Blazers’ extended losing streak against stronger teams and the Heat’s overall performance, despite recent ATS struggles, suggest Miami could overcome their covering issues in this matchup against a struggling Portland team.

Best Pick: Under 209.5 Total Points


PHOENIX @ OKLAHOMA CITY

Over/Under Prediction: Under 228.5 Total Points

Given the Suns’ recent trend towards the Under, with 14 of their last 19 games going Unders, and their overall trend of hitting the Game Total Under in 34 of their last 53 games, this matchup leans towards a lower-scoring affair than the total set at 226.5 points suggests.

The Thunder’s home game success doesn’t specifically highlight a tendency towards high-scoring games, and the Suns’ strong defensive performances further support the likelihood of the total falling below 226.5 points.

ATS Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder +1.5

The Thunder’s impressive record of winning 18 of their last 21 home games, along with their ability to cover the spread in a significant majority of their recent home games, suggests they are well-placed to cover or even win outright against a Suns team that has struggled to cover following a road win (failing to cover 11 of their last 13 such instances).

Oklahoma City’s home court advantage and their strong performance in late-game situations give them the edge to potentially cover the +2.5 spread.

Best Pick: Under 228.5 Total Points


NEW YORK @ SAN ANTONIO

Over/Under Prediction: Under 213.5 Total Points

Seeing the strong trend towards the Under in Spurs’ home games, with 13 of their last 16 at home going Unders, and the Knicks’ recent performance favoring the Under in 34 of their last 47 games, this matchup leans towards a lower scoring outcome.

Both teams have shown defensive capabilities that contribute to games not reaching high total scores, aligning with the set total of 210.5 points for this game.

ATS Prediction: New York Knicks -9.0

The Knicks’ impressive record against teams below .500, winning 23 of their last 26, suggests they have the capability to cover a -9.0 spread against a struggling Spurs team.

While the Spurs have shown resilience by covering 9 of their last 12 games against teams above .500, the Knicks’ strong performance in similar matchups provides a solid foundation for expecting New York to cover the spread, given their recent form and the historical difficulty the Spurs have faced in such games.

Best Pick: Under 213.5 Total Points


MINNESOTA @ DENVER

Over/Under Prediction: Under 211.5 Total Points

Given the Timberwolves’ trend of hitting the 2Q Game Total Under in 32 of their last 46 games and the Nuggets’ tendency to hit the Game Total Under in 50 of their last 84 games, this matchup leans towards an Under outcome.

Despite the Timberwolves’ last 4 games as underdogs going Overs, the defensive capabilities and recent performance trends of both teams suggest a game that might not reach the total set at 211.5 points.

ATS Prediction: Denver Nuggets +6.5

The Nuggets’ strong performance in covering their last 8 games following a home loss, combined with their success in winning their last 5 home games against the Timberwolves, positions them well to cover the +6.5 spread.

Even as underdogs, the Nuggets have shown resilience and capability against higher-performing teams, especially in rebounding from losses.

Best Pick: Under 211.5 Total Points


HOUSTON @ UTAH

Over/Under Prediction: Over 229.5 Total Points

With the Rockets’ recent trend with 6 of their last 7 games going Overs and their dynamic scoring capabilities, this game leans towards an Over outcome. Both teams have shown a propensity to contribute to high-scoring games, with the Rockets on a notable winning and covering streak, indicating their games have been offensively productive.

The Jazz’s trends, such as hitting the Team Total Over in 24 of their last 36 home games, further support the potential for a high-scoring matchup.

ATS Prediction: Houston Rockets -7.5

The Rockets’ exceptional performance recently, covering 13 of their last 14 games and winning their last 10, suggests they have the momentum and capability to cover the -7.5 spread against the Jazz.

Houston’s ability to close out games strongly, as seen in their away game performances covering the 4Q Spread, alongside their overall success in the Moneyline, underscores their potential to cover in this matchup.

Best Pick: Over 229.5 Total Points


DALLAS @ SACRAMENTO

Over/Under Prediction: Under 232.5 Total Points

With the Kings’ recent trend of hitting the Game Total Under in 9 of their last 10 games and both teams showing a strong propensity towards Unders in their respective trends, this matchup leans towards an Under outcome.

The Mavericks have also been contributing to this trend, with the Game Total Under hitting in 31 of their last 47 games. The consistent performance of both teams in low-scoring games, especially with the Kings’ defensive efforts in the first half, supports the likelihood of the total falling below 229.5 points.

ATS Prediction: Sacramento Kings -1.5

Given the road team’s success in both covering the spread and winning the first half in recent matchups between these teams, and the Kings’ ability to cover the 1H Spread in 17 of their last 26 home games,

Sacramento is well-positioned to cover the -1.5 spread against Dallas. Despite the Mavericks’ recent winning streak, the Kings have shown resilience and capability to perform against strong opponents, making them favorites to cover in this close spread.

Best Pick: Under 232.5 Total Points
