Even though the Rockets failed to beat the Jazz last night as I predicted they did manage to cover to lower my losses to $320 on a 75-72-2 record. There are a lot of matchups I like on tonight's 10 game schedule including my favorite scenario of teams on the road for the second half of a back to back game. As always, my picks are made using the betting lines from the Betonline.ag lines as listed on the Yahoo Sports page for entertainment purposes only with $110 wagered on each game taking $100 on my wins unless otherwise stated.
Philadelphia 76ers at Detroit Pistons
The 76ers lost to the Magic at home by 9 last night and now travel to Detroit to take on a Pistons team that is coming off an impressive win against the tired Cleveland Cavaliers. Detroit hasn't been playing very well but Philly is on another one of their long losing streaks and should be tired from the back to back games. I'll take the Pistons to ride the wave of their win over Cleveland and will give the 10½ points.
Oklahoma City Thunder at Dallas Mavericks
The Thunder have beaten the Mavs 3 times this year with two of the wins by 3 points. The Thunder are 4½ favorites tonight. The Thunder rebounded from their nationally televised loss to the Warriors earlier this month with 2 straight blowouts and I like their chances to follow Sunday's nationally televised loss to the Cavaliers with a big win tonight so give me the Thunder and lay the 4½ points.
Los Angeles Lakers at Memphis Grizzlies
The Kobe Bryant farewell tour heads to Memphis tonight for a game against the new-look Grizzlies. The Lakers are in the midst of another losing streak (6 games this time) while the Grizzlies are struggling to come to grips with the loss of center Marc Gasol for the season. I believe the Grizzlies will take the opportunity for an easy home win and will give the 8 points to the hapless Lakers.
Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers followed their miracle cover against the Warriors Saturday night with a 40 point blowout of the Suns. The Nuggets lost at home last night to the Kings and lost to the Clippers by 17 when the teams met back in November. I like the Clippers to get another blowout and will give the 10 points.
Minnesota Timberwolves at Toronto Raptors
The Timberwolves beat the Raptors earlier this month and Raptors coach Dwane Casey accused his team of giving a poor effort and taking the Wolves lightly. I expect a focused effort tonight and will take the Raptors giving the 9½ to the Wolves.
