7pm - Toronto -13 at Philadelphia O/U 195.5
The Raptors lost at Memphis on Wednesday for their 3rd loss in 4 games. The Sixers lost to the Knicks on Wednesday for their 3rd straight loss and 5 of 6. Toronto has been a little off lately, but the Sixers are just a bad team. I think hometown boy Lowry leads The Raptors to an easy win.
Toronto 105 Philadelphia 90
7:30pm - Oklahoma City at Atlanta -4 O/U 207.5
The Thunder won at Washington in OT on Wednesday for their 4th straight win. The Hawks are the hottest team in the NBA with 14 straight victories and 28 of 30 overall. OKC is really good, but I'm not going against the Hawks until they give me a reason to.
Atlanta 104 Oklahoma City 99
7:30pm - Charlotte at Cleveland -10 O/U 194
The Hornets have won 3 straight and 8 of 9. The Cavs have reeled off 4 straight wins after losing 6 in a row. Can't lay this many points against a hot Charlotte team that is 11-6-2 ATS on the road.
Cleveland 101 Charlotte 100
7:30pm - Indiana at Miami -3 O/U 182.5
The Pacers have dropped 6 straight games. The Heat have lost 2 in a row and 3 of 4. Wade and Bosh should be enough for Miami to get back into the win column at home against the struggling Pacers.
Miami 98 Indiana 90
7:30pm - Orlando -2 at New York O/U 207.5
The Magic have lost 3 straight and 9 of 11. The Knicks have now won 2 in a row after losing 16 straight. New York is catching Orlando at a good time as they are struggling for wins and the Knicks have a little momentum themselves. Look for a big game from Anthony and another Knicks win.
New York 97 Orlando 95
8pm - Chicago at Dallas -6.5 O/U 205.5
The Bulls beat the Spurs handily last night to stop a 2 game skid. The Mavs have won 3 in a row and 4 of 5. Rose and the Bulls looked awfully good last night. I don't think they'll get blown out tonight.
Dallas 107 Chicago 103
8pm - New Orleans -6.5 at Minnesota O/U 199
The Pelicans have split their last 6 games, but now have Davis back in the fold. The Timberwolves have lost 2 straight and 3 of 5. The Wolves are just 3-16 at home and the Pelicans, with Davis, should be able to cover here.
New Orleans 104 Minnesota 95
8:30pm - L.A. Lakers at San Antonio -13 O/U 196.5
The Lakers have dropped 6 in a row and 8 of 9. The Spurs lost last night in Chicago, but won 4 straight before that. No Kobe for the Lakers and I expect the Spurs to bounce back from last night's loss in a big way.
San Antonio 107 L.A. Lakers 92
9pm - Boston at Denver -7.5 O/U 206
The Celtics beat the Blazers 90-89 last night to snap a 3 game slide. The Nuggets have lost 4 in a row after winning 5 straight. Boston might be arriving in Denver at the right time and with last night's win fresh in their minds, they might steal another one.
Boston 102 Denver 101
9pm - Houston at Phoenix -2.5 O/U 220
The Rockets lost at Golden State on Wednesday for their 2nd loss in 3 games. The Suns have won 4 straight and 8 of 10. Harden and Howard are banged up a little but are expected to play. I'll stick with the hot Suns at home.
Phoenix 108 Houston 104
10:30pm - Sacramento at Golden State -15.5 O/U 219
The Kings lost at home to the Nets on Wednesday for their 5th straight defeat. The Warriors just keep rolling along with 3 straight wins and 11 of 12 overall. Big number, but I don't see it any other way.
Golden State 124 Sacramento 104
