Can I make it 2 perfect days in a row?
76ers vs. Pacers
My call is the 76ers at +1, and then pushing it up to +4. This is going to be a close game, however the 76ers have been playing far better basketball then the Pacers as of late and are fighting to maintain their 6 seed. When in a close game situation, always take the points.
Warriors vs. Cavaliers
Bet on the Warriors on the (-175) money line and expect them to end their 2 game skid against a Cleveland team that is dealing with major injuries. This is a great line to bet on, as the Warriors have been fighting good teams down to the wire, and should have no problem repeating their 116-98 win over Cleveland on January 7.
Lakers vs. Hawks
This is a tough call. The Lakers have been the hottest team in basketball recently and it looks like they can repeat a 104-80 win over Atlanta here tonight. The Hawks are tired as they play their 8th game in 13 days and look for them to struggle out of the gate and let the Lakers build up a lead that they cannot overcome. My pick is the Lakers at (-210).
Blazers vs. Heat
The Blazers have been playing great basketball recently, and the Heat are in a four game losing stretch. Look for the Heat to end that tonight against a Blazers team that they beat in overtime earlier in the season. However, it is going to be a close game, so I'm picking the Blazers at +8.5 and then 3 points to make it +11.5. When in doubt, go with the points.
Rockets vs. Suns
Both the Rockets and the Suns have been playing great basketball lately and both are trying to make a playoff push. However, the Suns will be without Channing Frye and the Rockets are playing in the second night of a back-to-back. Therefore, expect a close game and take the Rockets at +5 with 3 points of insurance.
Bucks vs. Wizards
I'm not touching this one. Both teams have been playing horrendous basketball lately. One of them has to win, but I'm not sure who.
