7pm - Sacramento at Indiana -5.5 O/U 198.5
The Kings have lost 8 in a row. The Pacers beat the Knicks on Thursday for their 2nd win in 3 games after losing 7 in a row. No reason to like the Kings here on the road.
Indiana 99 Sacramento 91
7pm - Dallas -7 at Orlando O/U 211
The Mavs won at Miami last night to snap a 4 game losing streak. The Magic have lost 7 in a row. Dallas has taken 5 straight from Orlando dating back to March 2012. Make it 6 straight after tonight's game.
Dallas 106 Orlando 89
7pm - Toronto at Washington -4.5 O/U 203.5
The Raptors won 127-122 in OT in Brooklyn last night for their 5th straight win. The Wizards lost a Phoenix on Wednesday for their 3rd loss in 5 games. Wall is questionable with a migraine. Because of Wall's status and the fact that Toronto has won 5 of the last 6 meetings, I'll go with the Raptors.
Toronto 106 Washington 103
7:30pm - Philadelphia at Atlanta -16 O/U 191
The Sixers have won 2 in a row after beating the Timberwolves last night. The Hawks have won 18 in a row and 32 of 34. I'm pretty sure Atlanta wins, but they failed to cover in their last 2 double digit spreads. Philly keep it within the number.
Atlanta 104 Philadelphia 92
7:30pm - Houston -4.5 at Detroit O/U 205
The Rockets have won 4 in a row. The Pistons have cooled off after a hot streak now having lost 4 straight and 5 of 6. Howard is out for Houston and Jennings is a no go for Detroit. Everything points to the Rockets winning this one.
Houston 102 Detroit 95
8pm - Oklahoma City at Memphis -5.5 O/U 197.5
The Thunder lost at New York on Thursday for their 3rd loss in 4 tries. The Grizzlies have won 5 straight and 9 of 10 games. Durant is questionable with a big toe sprain which doesn't help the chances for the road weary Thunder.
Memphis 103 Oklahoma City 96
8pm - Cleveland 10.5 at Minnesota O/U 205
The Cavs have won 9 straight games. The Timberwolves lost to the Sixers last night for their 6th loss in 7 games. Tough double digit spread to cover on the road, but I believe LeBron, Kyrie and Love are up to the challenge.
Cleveland 107 Minnesota 93
8:30pm - Portland -1.5 at Milwaukee O/U 197.5
The Blazers have lost 2 straight, 4 of 5 and 7 of 9. The Bucks have won 2 in a row and 3 of 4. I think Portland salvages their 3 game roadie with a win tonight behind Aldridge and Lillard.
Portland 102 Milwaukee 98
9pm - Charlotte at Denver -6 O/U 193
The Hornets lost to the Spurs on Wednesday but have won 4 of 6. The Nuggets lost at Memphis on Thursday for their 8th loss in 9 tries. It'll be tough for Charlotte to win without Kemba Walker, but I like them to at least cover here.
Denver 97 Charlotte 94
9pm - L.A. Clippers at San Antonio -4.5 O/U 202.5
The Clippers lost at New Orleans last night after winning 6 in a row. The Spurs have won 3 straight and 7 of 8. Tough game for the Clippers to bounce back. Spurs are playing well, are healthy, rested and at home.
San Antonio 105 L.A. Clippers 98
10:30pm - Phoenix at Golden State -10 O/U 225
The Suns beat the Bulls last night for their 2nd straight win. The Warriors have now lost 2 straight. Golden State is 21-2 at home so I don't think they'll lose, but Phoenix is playing well enough to cover in a high scoring affair.
Golden State 116 Phoenix 108
