Yesterday: 2-5
Season: 79-63

Orlando (189.5 o/u) @ Charlotte (-6)

Vucevic is questionable again, the Hornetcats are coming off a big, swagger-inducing victory, and the Charlotte fans might actually have something to get fired up about. The over is tempting here, but only if Orlando can shoot the ball, and against this defense I’m not so sure.
Pick: Charlotte -6

LA Clippers (-6) @ Boston (196.5 o/u)

Okay, so Boston has over-performed and LAC has under-performed so far this year, right? I feel pretty good about the Clippers here, even with Doc’s supposedly emotional return to Boston. I don’t buy that “juicy” storyline – I think it was just time for both sides to move on. The over/under is tricky because despite taking part in some high-scoring games lately, Boston’s pacing has grinded to a halt in December. In 4 games, they are averaging just 91.5 possessions per 48 minutes, which would be good for worst in the league over the full season.
Pick: LA Clippers -6

San Antonio (-11) @ Milwaukee (193 o/u)

2nd night of a back-to-back for both teams, total trap game. Could be a pretty low quality game. Not touching it.
Pass

Detroit (202 o/u) @ New Orleans (-3.5)

I really want to bet Detroit in this one, but New Orleans has been hanging tough without the ‘Brow with strong play from Holiday and Anderson. They could shred this Pistons defense pretty efficiently, I think. I also am continuing to take the over on any Pistons game against a league average or better offense.
Pick: Over 202 and New Orleans -3.5

Philadelphia (209.5 o/u) @ Minnesota (-12)

Wow, so Minnesota would have to blow out two horrific Eastern Conference defenses in a row to cover here, huh? Sold.
Pick: Minnesota -12 

Chicago (184 o/u) @ New York (-2.5)

Is anyone actually watching this game between the league’s two biggest markets?
Pass

Oklahoma City (-6) @ Memphis (191.5 o/u)

I like OKC to cover here with ease. Memphis has proven me wrong a few times this year but I still think I have a good feel for them. If they prevent OKC from covering tonight I’ll consider changing my mind about Z-Bo and the Boys.
Pick: OKC -6

Utah (201.5 o/u) @ Sacramento (-7)

Seriously so glad there’s a ridiculous Over/Under in this game because I did not want to bet on either team here.
Pick: Under 201.5 

Dallas (208.5 o/u) @ Golden State (-5)

Both teams coming off tough losses, two high-scoring teams, but Warriors have the better defense. Taking the Dubs here.
Pick: Golden State -5
