Friday 18th January

Last night was quite a night as we got to see NBA in the flesh for the very first time (and certainly not the last!)

Anyway back to business for us tonight and here are our picks:

Bulls @ Chicago, Over 181 points, 1.95 and Boston -3.5, 1.95 WON AND LOST

When these two teams meet the points line is always low due to both teams being relatively low scorers. However, most times, the points line goes over and currently Chicago are starting to post up some pretty healthy numbers. Boozer and Deng are averaging around the 18-20 ppg and if either PG (Heinrich or Robinson) shoots well then they tend to score quite highly. I expect Boston to play wuite big tonight as this is a crucial part of their season and Doc Rivers knows how to get the best out of his players when it matters most. I therefore do expect Boston to take the Win tonight as they have to start pulling them out of the bag to make sure of the play-offs!

Boston to take this 95 - 89

Houston @ Indiana, Under 196 points, 1.95 LOST

The Pacers have the best defence in the league at the moment and they are meeting the team tonight (Rockets) with the best offence in the league - quite a match-up. If you look at the teams averages (Pacers 91ppg to 89 conceding and Rockets 105ppg and 103 conceding) it points me towards this being close. However, Rockets do score less away and I just feel that with the hustle they will provide Rockets won't score 100 points and therefore the 196 line will struggle

Pacers to take this 96-94

Sacramento @ Grizzlies, Under 190.5 points, 1.95 WON

Sacramento are an extremely variable team in points scoring but I am mainly focusing on the Grizzlies when making this tip. They do not let teams (especially at home) score many more than 90 and themselves do not go 100 very often if at all. Sacramento can score 80 as easily as they could go for 100 but tonight against the Grizzlies I lean towards the former.

Grizzlies to take this 94-87.

Deadly double (1 unit bet)

Spurs -7.5 and Denver -5.5 @ 2.14 (bet365) LOST





Good luck tonight guys
