Game: Milwaukee at Boston (7:30 PM Eastern) Pick: 2 units on Game Total UNDER 196.5 -110
Both of these teams have several key injured players and the shooting may be suspect in this one. They have played to the UNDER in 3 of their last 4 meetings. Boston has been an on-going UNDER team at home where they have logged a 70-51 UNDER mark over the last three seasons. Boston has also been 49-27 to the UNDER when the game total is posted from 195-199.5 points.
Game: San Antonio at Minnesota (8:00 PM Eastern) Pick: 2 units on First Half UNDER 94.5 -110
Looks like Garnett is done for the year which means Minnesota is going to have to try and make a defensive statement early to stay in this game. They have been 45-21 to the first-half UNDER against teams with a .700+ winning percentage in the second half of the season over the past 10 years. San Antonio seems to get defensively inspired when they are winning. They have been 31-14 to the first-half UNDER, when they are playing after winning two or more consecutive games over the last two seasons.
Game: Denver at New Orleans (8:00 PM Eastern) Pick: 2 units on New Orleans -1 Pick: 2 units on Game Total UNDER 205 -110
Both of these teams have been hot down the stretch as Denver has now won seven straight and New Orleans has now covered seven straight, and 10 of 12. New Orleans will be playing to revenge a 15-point loss at Denver which is a great spot for New Orleans. New Orleans has been 51-34 ATS when revenging a road loss. New Orleans has also been good at slowing down high-octane teams at home. They have played 14-3 to the UNDER against teams that average 103+-points per game over the last two seasons.
Game: Charlotte at Chicago (8:30 PM Eastern) Pick: 2 units on Game Total OVER 194 -110
Charlotte has suddenly become an up-tempo team. They were averaging 95+ points a game, but in their last 18 have upped that total by over eight points to 103.2-ppg. They have also done well scoring after a game in which they have covered the point spread as they have played 25-14 to the OVER. When they are off a big defensive game Chicago seems to relax in their next game. They have been 18-7 to the OVER, after allowing 85 points or less.
