Small lean towards the Sixers in this one as I don't trust the Bobcats when giving up 3 possessions. Injuries will obviously play a huge role in this one and will probably just stay away. If the game can get into overtime...the Sixers will love it as that's the only way they can win.
Milwaukee vs Washington -
No real leans in this one either...both teams are pretty inconsistent and there are injuries all over the place. If anything in this one I might lean towards a Wizards TT OVER as they are much more efficient at home.
Cleveland vs Atlanta -
Good sized lean towards the Hawks in this one. The Cavaliers on the road are terrible...-12.9 point differential. Past two games for the Cavs forced this line to be a little bit lower than what it should be. However, those two games were trap games and scheduling gems for Cleveland. Hawks are very good on Friday's, refs are home friendly, Cavs are in a tough scheduling spot coming off two home games, this random road game, then back home for a few.
Denver vs Boston -
Small lean towards the OVER in this one. I might have to ride the OVER in Celtics home games for a while. Crawford, Sullinger, Bradley and the younger players are stepping their games up nicely. Both teams should get into the 100's
Orlando vs NY Knicks -
Might have to lean towards the Knicks in this one as now that they broke their losing streak they have a chance to go on a little winning streak with the teams they have coming up. Might have to stay away however as the Knicks are 0-8 ATS at home and Nelson is returning for the Magic. I would want to see how Nelson is running around first though.
Golden State vs Houston -
Lean towards the Rockets to get back on track after two tough losses. They are very good ATS at home this year...the refs are home friendly as well...and the Warriors have another tough game against the Grizzlies coming up. Possibly a stronger lean would be for the Rockets 1st quarter...they have a +6 point differential in the 1st at home this year and the Warriors schedule has been a lot more strenuous recently.
Oklahoma City vs New Orleans -
Dangerous trap game for the Thunder here...and the line is set enticingly low to generate lots of action. Thunder just lost a battle against the Blazers and have the Pacers up on Sunday. Westbrook is a little banged up and it wouldn't surprise me if he just sat out tonight. Will wait to see what the lines do as well.
Toronto vs Phoenix -
Small lean towards the UNDER. Not so much for what the Suns can do, but more of the Raptors offensive inconsistency. Probably just stay away from this one...both the line and total seem to be set about right.
Utah vs Portland -
Lean towards the UNDER in this game. Portland should be able to get over 100 points without much of an issue...but they are coming off a battle against the Thunder and they have a tough matchup against the Mavericks tomorrow night. Jazz only put up 88 points per game on the road this year...and I see that as a good place for them to finish tonight. Question then becomes will the Blazers put up 115.
LA Lakers vs Sacramento -
Good size lean towards the OVER tonight in this one. Lakers give up 108 points on the road...Cousins is going tonight...Lakers well rested coming into this one and should be able to be solid on the offensive side themselves...pretty close competition as well so OT is always a possibility as well.

About your okc@nop. Yes westbrook is banged up but okc plays the pacers on SUNDAY. and the game is tom is FRIDAY. They are not amateurs to need to rest for 2 days if they are not even injured or what. Thats all.

Houston not the same team without Parsons and Lin. Lose scoring. Look mediocre here lately. Boston doesn't score consistently enough for me. 200 is a high number I believe. Laker game should be a track meet but can't trust either team. Last game went way under BOL

The Hawks are a solid play tonight for me. The Cavaliers are terrible on the road, and this should be a double digit win for the Hawks. Prediction: Hawks 102 Cavaliers 93

LA Lakers vs Sacramento Kings OVER 203 ($220 to win $200)
Going with a 2 unit play on this one. Kings at home have a lot more energy...Boogie Cousins is going to play tonight and should be able to go big with the Lakers interior defense. Lakers allow 108 points on the road...and I wouldn't be surprised if the Kings get up to that number. Prediction: Kings 107 Lakers 105
