NBA 75 DIME GAME

HORNETS +8

The Hornets are an above average team offensively, ranking 11th in the league with 112.1 points per game. Charlotte is tied for 19th in rebounding with 44.6 boards per game and 18th by dishing out 23.8 assists per contest. The Hornets come in ranked 17thin scoring defense by allowing 111.4 points per game. 

The Pacers are playing good ball, but they average just 108 points. Take the Hornets here.

SUNS +13

The Suns are 25th in the league in scoring with an average of 106 points per game. The Suns are 29th on the glass by collecting 40.6 boards per game. Phoenix stands 17th in the league in assists with 24 per contest. Phoenix is 24th in the league in scoring defense as they allow 114.5 points a night.

Minnesota dropped their second straight and third in their last four games as they were upended by the Spurs at home Friday night. The Timberwolves entered Saturday’s action 11th in the Western Conference, 3.5 games behind the Lakers for the final playoff spot. 

I like the Suns within 6 points.

CLIPPERS +9.5

Clippers are better offensively, scoring 116.6 ppg to Spurs’ 107.7 ppg, while Spurs are better defensively, allowing 108.2 ppg to Clippers’ 112. Clippers have better percentages both in field goals (47.3% to 44.6%) and in 3-pointers (38.7% to 37.8%). Spurs on the other hand are better both in turnovers committed (12.6 to 14.6) and in dimes made (23.2 to 22.4), while Clippers are better in boards grabbed (46.8 to 45.3). Spurs are struggling, and taking the 9.5 points is good.

UTAH -3.5

Utah leads the Pac-12 in field-goal percentage (46.8) and three-point percentage (36.9). Colorado, on the other hand, is reeling right now and banged up. The Utes have won eight of the last nine meetings and have won six straight in Salt Lake City. Colorado is 17-43-1 ATS in its last 61 on the road against opponents with winning home records and 1-6 ATS in its last seven trips to Utah. The Utes are 11-3 ATS in the last 14 meetings between the two teams.

CHIEFS -145

The Patriots and Tom Brady are a different team this year. They are only 3-5 on the road. Brady continues to make plays with what he has, but the defense is a concern. The Chiefs have a great passing and run game. I just don't see the Patriots keeping up with momentum.

Chiefs 34-28.

KANSAS -5

This will not be an easy game for the Jayhawks, who have not lost back-to-back games since December 2017 and not lost consecutive Big 12 games since a three-game slide from Feb. 2-9, 2013. But there are few places as daunting as Allen Fieldhouse, and the hedge is Kansas will come out aggressive early to set the tone and get their perimeter shooting back in the groove.

This line has moved one point in Kansas’ favor to 5.5, which makes it slightly dicey, but the Jayhawks should still have enough to cover.

213 OVER

 The Heat are hanging in the playoff picture at 22-22, while Boston has won three straight to improve to 28-18. The Celts are currently in fifth place in the East, while Miami is seventh. The Heat beat the Celtics on Jan. 10, 115-99 at home. They’ve won three straight in this series.

With the Heat coming in has a under dog, I like the Heat and the Over here. The Heat should put up around 113 points. Over is a strong play here.

ROCKETS +4.5

I am taking the points with the Rockets in this one. The Rockets have drilled a combined 48 three-pointers in their last two games, and James Harden has single-handedly won his teams games. Harden is averaging a remarkable 44.4 points on the month, and I am confident he can keep his team in the game.
