NBA 12/11

Boston Celtics @ Indiana Pacers (BOS -1, 209.5) 7:10 PM

I don’t like this game, because it is a game the Pacers could win or could lose. Just depends on what team will show up. I think the Celtics will struggle with Sabonis tonight, so consider taking over 17.5 points, or maybe IND +1. Since I am indifferent, I’m going with the under. The Pacers like to slow things down after a loss with the over/under being 2-5-1 after a Pacers loss. The under has hit in 6 of the last 9 Celtics games and they have held their last 3 opponents to 95 points or less.

Bet: Under 209.5
Confidence: 1 Unit
Result: Celtics 117 Pacers 122

Houston Rockets @ Cleveland Cavaliers (HOU -11.5, 229) 7:10 PM

The Rockets have been shaky lately, and a devastating last second three left them with a loss at home to the Kings. But now they get the horrible Cavaliers. They have lost 13 of their last 14 games and have only covered in 3 of those games. They have lost 9 of their last 12 by double digits and are currently on a 7 game losing streak in which they are losing by an average margin of 24.9! The Rockets should steam roll this team.

Bet: HOU -11.5
Confidence: 2 Units
Result: Rockets 116 Cavaliers 110

Utah Jazz @ Minnesota Timberwolves (UTA -1.5, 222) 8:10 PM

The Jazz have struggled recently, losing 4 of their last 5 and 6 of their last 8 with their only wins in that span coming against Memphis. But I like them to bounce back tonight in Minnesota they have allowed 7 of their last 9 and have allowed 128.4 on their current 5 game losing streak. Utah is the better team, but their struggles are why this spread is so low.

Bet: UTA -1.5
Confidence: 1 Unit
Result: Jazz 127 Timberwolves 116

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Sacramento Kings (SAC -1.5, 208.5) 10:10 PM

The Kings are coming off back to back wins against the Mavericks and the Rockets. This is a good team, but can they make it 3 big wins in a row. The Thunder are playing a the highest level lately, winning 7 of their last 9 and 5 of their last 6.  The Thunder are 7-3 ATS on the road while the  Kings are 1-2 ATS as a home favorite.

Bet: OKC +1.5
Confidence: 2 Units
Result: Thunder 93 Kings 94

Today’s Record: 2-2
All-Time Record: 38-34 (52.8%)
