Detroit Pistons @ Indiana Pacers
Prediction +210.5
Detroit +6.5
Indiana has struggled in recent games and Detroit need to keep winning games to make the Playoffs. The 6 Point head start looks ok and Blake Griffen should suit up in this game. Indiana’s last 3 home games have averaged 221 and these two sides average 207 over their last 5 head to head games. The Over and a close game look likely.
Miami Heat @ Boston Celtics
Prediction -212
Miami +7.5
The Miami Heat have been playing well of late and much like the Pistons need to keep winning to make the Playoffs. They always look better when Goran Dragic is in the Lineup and play much better defense. This game should be close and Miami could just pinch this one.
Milwaukee Bucks @ Brooklyn Nets
Prediction -228
Brooklyn +3.5
The Bucks rested most of their stars last night and lost in a close matchup despite a dominating first period. If Giannis plays then the Bucks should win this. The Nets, just like a couple of other teams are a playoff chance and could help cement a spot with a win here. A lower scoring game and the Nets to cover the spread looks decent.
Orlando Magic @ Toronto Raptors
Prediction -214.5
Orlando +8.5
Orlando has been playing some ball of late and are a playoff hope if they keep winning. They have beaten the Raptors this season and the points spread looks ok for a team that is fighting to stay alive. This game should be low scoring and Orlando will have a crack at winning it.
Portland Trail Blazers @ Minnesota Timberwolves
Prediction +223.5
Portland -3.5
Without Nurkic and McCollum the Blazers may be vulnerable but Lillard has been playing solid basketball. Minnesota has a combined average of 240 Points in their last 3 home games and nothing to really play for so the defense may be a little slack. Id expect Portland to win in a high scoring contest.
Charlotte Hornets @ Utah Jazz
Prediction Utah -11.5
Charlotte got Smashed by the Warriors last Night and are on a back to back. The Jazz has been good at home this season and the Hornets season is all but over. They may rest some stars and play some bench warmers to see what they can provide. Jazz Easily.
Cleveland Cavs @ Phoenix Suns
Prediction +220.5
Cleveland +2.5
The Suns have a massive injury list so the Cavs may be the better bet here. Both sides have been losing lots and there is nothing to suggest there should be a clear favorite apart from injuries. The Cavs in a high scoring contest.
