Very close. CLE wins the PPG and FG% battles, but Charlotte's rebounding (+1.0) keeps it tight.

The system hates Brooklyn's league-worst offense (109.0 PPG). NYK sweeps almost every category.

A toss-up. Atlanta has better shooting, but Memphis gets the Home (+1.5) and Defense (+3.0) points.

The "Upset" Watch

Cleveland vs Charlotte: Vegas has Cleveland as a 3-point favorite, but your system sees it much closer (-1.7). If Charlotte wins the rebounding battle by more than 6, they would actually flip to the favorite in your model.

Use commen sense, this dose not injury adjustments. 

Be carful on the NYK they are slumping big time. Almost want to try BK money line. Never the less they have to save face after that crazy DAL loss. 

@AmAcorX

 Nice analysis but what are your picks 

I hate it but RN it looks like BK (ml) Knicks can't win a Game to save a life, play it small. If CHAR keeps going up I'm taking them +4 to 4.5. Very interesting ?? the MIL - OKC over I see a lot of value with good shooting in MIL. And a big swing here in TOR -6 I have then @ 9.5 on the AI system. 

2-1 tonight. Got lucky with 223.5 in the mil game. Lost char and tor big second half helped the cover.
