Knicks def. Nets
The Knicks are on a four game winning streak (at publish), while the Nets are staring down the barrel of five straight defeats. New York are 2-0 against Brooklyn this season and should see off their neighbours at MSG.

Suns def. Spurs
The Spurs are actually 2-0 against the Suns this season, but Phoenix have all three of their stars fit and available to play. Suns should win comfortably.

Nuggets def. Trail Blazers
Denver are gunning hard for top seed in the West, the reigning champs are 8-2 across their last ten games and should wipe the floor with Portland how are 2-8 across the same trip.

The best team in the league takes on one of the worst, as the Celtics travel to Detroit.

Boston have won eight straight games against Detroit, covering the line in five of the pairs last six meetings.

The Celts bettered the Pistons by 25 points last time out, and I’m backing the league leaders to cruise to another convincing victory here.

The Sixers are out to claim their eighth straight victory over the Lakers when the pair meet in LA.

They’ll be hard strapped in doing so without the services of Joel Embiid, who remains sidelined through injury.

In the absence of Embiid, Tyrese Maxey has stepped up as the main offensive weapon, scoring 30+ points across his last three starts.

I’m steering clear of the H2H market in this one, instead backing Maxey to hit Overs in his player points market.

The Jazz head to Dallas to take on the Mavs for the 3rd time this season, with the series poised at 1-1.

The Home team has won five of the last six meetings between this pair, whiles the Mavs have won five straight against the Jazz at the American Airlines Center.

After success early in the season, Utah has fallen off a cliff, going 2-8 across their last 10 games, while collecting seven straight losses on the road.

Alternatively, the Mavs are 5-1 across their last six starts, and 7-2 over their last nine home fixtures.

The Mavs won by 50 points the last time they played host to the Jazz, and I am backing them to cover as favourites once again.

The Nuggets play host to the Knicks in what should be an intriguing matchup.

New York are searching for their fifth straight league win and their fourth straight victory over Denver.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets are hitting their straps at the right end of the season, winning eight of their last ten games.

The Knick have won three straight on the road and have the confidence and ability to trade buckets with the reigning champs.

I’m backing New York to cover on the road.

The Celts and the Bucks meet for the third time this season, with the series poised at 1-1.

Boston have been nothing short of formidable at home this season, going 30-3 at TD Garden, covering the spread in 20 of those games.

Meanwhile, the Bucks are 17-17 on the road, and are a measly 2-6 against the spread as the away underdog.

I’m taking the Celt to run over the top of the Bucks at home.

The Suns and the Sixers meet for the 2nd and final time this season, with Philly looking to complete a sweep.

Phoenix are 21-14 t home this season, though they have rarely blown sides off the court, covering just 12 of 35 fixtures at the Footprint Center.

Meanwhile, Philly are 17-15 on the road, and are entering this game off back-to-back victories.

+8.5 points is a generous line at this spot, and I’m backing the underdogs to cover with ease.

Dallas and San Antonio meet for the fourth and final time this season, with the Mavs currently leading the series 3-0.

The Mavericks have bettered the Spurs in 10 of the pairs last 11 meetings, covering the line in four of the last five contests.

Dallas are coming in off the back of a moral lifting victory over the Nuggets and should kick on to defeat the Spurs with ease.

The T-Wolves host the Nuggs for the 2nd time this season, after upsetting the current champs by 21 points last time out.

Minnesota are a formidable23-8 at home this season, and are 3-0 against the spread when starting as the underdog at the Target Center.

Meanwhile, Denver are 20-15 on the road, so very far from a lock here.

I think Minnesota match up extremely well in this contest, and I have them covering the line as underdogs here.

The Dubs meet the Knicks for the 2nd and final time this season, with the the home side looking to complete the sweep.

The Warriors are a modest 17-17 at home this season, and are only 10-17 against the line when starting the game as favourite in the Bay Area.

Alternatively, the Knicks are 18-14 on the road this season and 22-10 against the spread across those fixtures!

New York are a real chance to win this matchup, and I have them covering the very generous +6.5 line.

The Lakers and the Hawks meet for the 2nd time this season, following a rare Atlanta victory in the pairs previous meeting.

Los Angeles are a handy 24-12 at home this season, and 18-7 when starting as favourite.

The ‘Overs’ have saluted in the Total Points market in the last five straight games between this pair, with and average of 251.4 points across the trip.

I’m backing defence to take the back seat again here, with Over 225.5 total points being scored.

Bulls def Wizards
Washington are 7-28 on the road this season and are 2-17 across their last 19 games! Meanwhile, Chicago are 6-4 across their last ten and are drawing their way up the Eastern Conference standings. Bulls to Win.

Pelicans def Portland
The Trail Blazers are 8-23 on the road this season and have lost their last four meetings with the Pels. Alternatively, the Pels are 4-1 across their last five and pushing for a top four finish in the West this season. Pels to Win.

OKC def Memphis
The Thunder are looking to sweep the Grizzlies 3-0, after dominating the pairs previous two outings this season. Memphis are without the majority of their starting five and have failed to put up a fight against quality sides this season. OKC to Win.

Denver look to build on a run of four wins on the road when they head to San Antonio.

The Spurs are 9-30 against fellow Western Conference outfits and 7-32 against sides with a winning record.

Wemby has been San Antonio’s top performer this season, averaging 22-12-5 and 4.5 blocks across his last eight starts.

While, fellow centre Jokic has averaged 26-13-10 across his last ten games, dropping 39 points on the Spurs earlier this season.

I’m jumping on a big man multi, backing Wemby to have 20+ Points & 10+ Boards, combined with 25+ Points and 12+ Boards from the Joker.

The Pels take on the Clippers for the fourth and final time during the regular season, with the home side leading the series 2-1.

NOLA are 4-1 across their last five games and are close to usurping the Clippers as 4th in the West.

Alternatively, the Clippers are 2-3 across their last five, with their form heavily hampered by injuries to the three superstars.

Harden and Kawhi will likely remain sidelined for this fixture, and if they do I have the Pels covering comfortably.

The Bulls look to take advantage of an injury hampered Clippers outfit when the pair meet in Chicago.

The Clippers enter this contest off the back of two defeats at home, and a 5-5 record across their last 10.

LA are likely to be without Kawhi here, who was force off against the Timberwolves with back pain.

I’m backing the Bulls to prevail against this weakened LA side, covering the generous +7 point line on offer.

The Bucks and the 76ers are set to meet for the third and final time this season, with Milwaukee leading the series 2-0.

Milwaukee bettered the Sixers by 21 points when the pair last met in late February, with Philly going 3-5 since.

The 76ers were just handed a 27-point spanking at the hands of the Knick last time out and will likely face a similar fate against the offensive might of Milwaukee.

The Kings look to complete a regular season sweep over the Lakers when the pair meet in Sacramento.

The home side enter this fixture off the back of a dominant display against the Bucks, their 30+ point win ending a streak of 15 straight defeats to Milwaukee.

The Lakers are 12-19 straight up on the road this season, and 13-18 against the spread.

I’m backing the Kings to continue their dominance in this matchup, overcoming the underdog tag.
