Bucks @ Cavaliers
Line: CLE -10.5, O/U 203
Milwaukee has played better on the road than at home lately. When the Bucks have won they won big and when they lose they lose big, so stay away from the point spread in this game. Cleveland is coming off their best three-game performance at home and this will be their last game during their home stand.
Bet: Over 203 WIN
Celtics @ Hawks
Line: ATL -6.5, O/U 210
Both teams are averaging 103.4 points per game. Take the safe bet her with the point total.
Bet: Under 210 LOSS
Lakers @ Pistons
Line: DET -1.5, O/U 205.5
The Pistons are currently on a eight game losing streak and avergaing a paltry 91.9 ppg. The Lakers, after one day's rest, will be riding the high of beating the conference leading Raptors 129-122.
Bet: Lakers to Win WIN
Nets @ Knicks
Line: BKN -1.0, O/U 191.5
Carmelo Anthony returned after missing two games to score 31 points in a loss to Miami. J.R. Smith is currently listed as day-to-day on the injury report and they have been awful shooting from and guarding the three point line in their four game losing streak. The Nets have not much better offensively and have lost their last two games at home. That is why the point spread is so low. I would stay away from betting on this game.
Bet: No bet
Mavericks @ Bulls
Line: CHI -1.5, O/U 203
A match-up between two good offensive teams and mediocre defensive teams when playing good offensive teams.Take the easy bet here and get paid.
Bet: Over 203 WIN
Trailblazers @ Nuggets
Line: POR -3.5, O/U 210.5
There are a lot of day-to-day listed players on the injury report for both teams including Damian Lillard and Darrell Arthur. The Nuggets have lost six straight games to Portland, two this season by allowing an average of 123 points.The average combined score for both games was 229.5
Bet: Over 210.5 LOSS
