NBA 11/15

San Antonio Spurs @ Orlando Magic (ORL -3, 211) 7:10 PM

The Spurs defense has been atrocious as of late, allowing 119.4 ppg over their last 5 games. Despite their defensive struggle, the offense has continued to play well, scoring 111.7 ppg. They have lost 5 of 6 and now travel to Orlando to take on the Magic. The Magic were held under 100 points in their first 7 games, but have since score 100+ in four straight games in which they are averaging 109.8 ppg. With the way the Spurs defense is struggling and the Magic starting to score more, I’ll take the over.

Bet: Over 211
Confidence: 2 Units
Result: Spurs 109 Magic 111

Indiana Pacers @ Houston Rockets (HOU -5, 226) 8:10 PM

I’m 0-4 on Pacers bets so whatever I bet here, just do the opposite. However, all four of those were on the total, so I will make a play on the spread tonight. The Pacers are on a 4 game winning streak and have won 7 of their last 8 overall. Their last two losses are both 2 point losses. They’re red hot so they can go into Houston and upset the Rockets, right? No way! The Pacers record against a team with a winning record this season is 0-0. The Patriots found out what it’s like to play a tough team on the road after playing a soft schedule, and Sabonis ain’t no Brady! Harden has averaged 41.6 ppg over his last 5 games. Take an improved defensive unit, and a red hot Harden to blow out the ‘Cers tonight.

Bet: HOU -5
Confidence: 4 Units
Result: Pacers 102 Rockets 111

Washington Wizards @ Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN -7, 240) 8:10 PM
Boston Celtics @ Golden State Warriors (BOS -7.5, 225) 10:40 PM

Consider adding the Rockets to this parlay, but for the sake of this parlay we’ll stick with two. The Wizards have lost 6 of their last 7 games in which they have given up 126.7 ppg including a 131-109 loss at home to the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves have won 3 of their last 4 and have averaged 118 ppg over that span. The best record in the NBA against the worst record in the NBA, the Celtics might embarrass the Warriors. The Celtics are averaging 123.6 ppg over their last 5 games and have won 9 in a row. The Warriors have lost 5 in a row and have allowed 122 ppg over that span.

Bet: MIN ML/BOS ML
Confidence: 3 Units
Results: Wizards 137 Timberwolves 116
Celtics 105 Warriors 100
