Charlotte @ Orlando----Here's the deal. Oladipo looks like he will miss his third straight game. For Charlotte, Batum who is their second leading scorer and their best player in my opinion, is out for this game. Cody Zeller is also out for Charlotte and Jeremy Lamb is questionable. Charlotte hasn't won a road game since December 11th. They are 0-10 SU and 2-8 ATS their last ten road games. Orlando already waxed them at home this season, 113-98. The Magic are coming off a loss against the 76ers. I see them getting their face back tonight.
Chicago @ Boston---The Bulls are coming off a pitiful shooting game against the Warriors. The Bulls were 1-for-20 from the 3 point line. They should have success here as the Celtics have been letting everyone score on them. The OVER is 6-1 in Boston's last seven games as the average final score in these seven games has been 220 points. For the Bulls, they have scored 100+ points in 14 of their last 16 games. When they scored 77 against Dallas last week, they responded with 111 points at Detroit. Now they only scored 94 vs. Golden State and I expect another bounce back game offensively. The OVER is 18-5 the last 23 meetings in Boston. The OVER is 6-0 in the Bulls last six road games. *OVER, OVER, OVER*
Miami @ Toronto---The Raptors are
on a seven game winning streak. The Heat are struggling like really bad right
now. Injuries are killing them. At the point, Dragic and Udrih are out. Now
Whiteside is out for this game and McRoberts and Birdman have been out. To make
it worse, Wade and Deng are listed as questionable. Miami is going to have to
play small ball without Whiteside but not really sure who is going to do the
scoring. Toronto has scored 106+ in their last four games. The Heat have scored
90 points or less in six of their last ten games. The line is big in this game,
but the only way to play is to lay the lumber and hope the Raptors mash the
gas. *Toronto*
Milwaukee @ Houston----The Bucks
have covered their last five games now. They have won four of their last five.
The Rockets are 1-4 ATS their last five games. Dwight Howard is out for this
game and Beverly might not play. Ty Lawson has been pushing the rock when
starting lately. * 2 pick--Bucks + OVER*
Oklahoma City @ Dallas---The Thunder are 0-4 ATS their last four road games. Dallas wants this game because when they played Oklahoma City last week, Carlisle rested all five starters. So the game was not fair. Dallas last four home games have ALL went into overtime. Now, that's crazy but this tells me this should be another close game. *Dallas*
San Antonio @ Lakers----The Spurs play Golden State next and they played last night. This is a flat spot for them. The Lakers beat the Spurs at home last year 112-110 in overtime. The Lakers gave the Thunder a run for their money two Friday's ago only losing by four points. Maybe it's Friday night magic in LA. Double digits at home are always worth a second look. The public is heavy on the Spurs. Not me. I am going the other way. *Lakers*
