NBA Preview: Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz

The Houston Rockets come into this game off a 1116-100 rout of the Phoenix suns on the road, which broke a three game losing streak they were on. Houston is now back to .500 on the year at 28-28, but they ate just 12-15 on the road. Last year a .500 record would have you well out of the playoffs in the West, but Houston would have the 8th seed if the playoffs started today. Offense has not been a problem for the Rockets this year and they are led by the 2nd leading scorer in the league in James Harden, who averages 28 ppg.  Overall Houston is 5th in the league in scoring, putting up 104.9 ppg, but they are not a good shooting team as they have hit just 44.4% of their shots, which is 19th. Defense is where the problems arise for this team as they rank 27th in the league in points allowed, giving up 106.7 ppg, while allowing teams to connect on 46.2% of their shots, which is 24th in the league.

The Utah Jazz come in having lost three of their last four games to fall to 27-28 on the year, but still they are just a half a game behind the Houston Rockets for 8th place in the West.  Three of those last four losses have come on the road, while the win was at home where they have now won their last six games and are 18-10 on the year. This is a much better team, at home than on the road. The key to the Jazz this year has been their defense, which comes in ranked 4th in the league in points allowed, giving up just 96.8 ppg, but they have struggled a bit at that end of the floor of late, allowing 104.2 ppg (Regulation) in their last five games.Gordon Hayward 19.9 ppg) leads a balanced offense that has 7 players averaging at least 10.4 ppg, but after that it really drops off as no one else puts up more than 6.2 popg. Overall they are 26th in scoring at 98.1 ppg, while hitting just 44.7% of their shots, which is 17th. They have been a decent team from deep, hitting 35.6% from long range, which is 11th.

[706] Utah -4.5 over Houston
I will go with the Jazz here as they have been an excellent home team of late, where they have won their last 6 games and have held their opponents to just 85.2 ppg over that stretch. Houston has lost 4 of their last 6 games on the road and they have allowed 113.3 ppg in those games. Huge defensive edge for the Jazz in this game, who also want revenge for an 11 point loss at Houston earlier in the year and who are a bit pissed after letting one get away in Portland the other night. The Rockets are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 3 or more days rest, while the Jazz are 9-4 ATS their last 13 home games, plus the host is 5-0 ATS the last five in the series. Look for the Jazz to take over the 8th spot in the West after this one is over.

The Toronto Raptors come in as one of the hotter teams in the league over the past few weeks as they have won 15 of their last 18 games, but still the Celtics have been keeping pace some and Toronto has just a 4.5 game lead over them in the Atlantic. Toronto is 36-18 overall, which includes a 17-12 mark on the road. The Raptors have done it mostly with a defense that comes in ranked 5th in the league in points allowed, giving up just 97.5 ppg on the year while allowing teams to hit just 44.2% of their shots, which is 10th. Leading the team is Demar Derozan, who is averaging 23.4 ppg on the year, which puts him at 9th in the league. The offense as a whole has been average as they come in ranked 15th in scoring, putting up 101.8 ppg on 44.6% shooting (18th). They are strong from long range, hitting 36.5% from beyond the arc, which is 4th.

The New York Knicks had been in the playoff hunt, but now they have fallen back thanks to a stretch that has seen them win just one of their last 8 games. New York is now 13.5 games behind the Raptors in the Atlantic and six games behind Chicago for the 8th and final playoff spot in the East. The Knicks come in off a 103-95 road win over Minnesota, which broke their seven game losing streak. Carmelo Anthony leads the team in scoring at 21.6 ppg, while just two other players average in double figures for them. This is not a good offensive team as they average just 99.2 ppg, which is 23rd in the league, while they have hit just 43.9% of their shots, which is 22nd. On defense they have been a bit above average as they allow just 101.3 ppg, which is 13th and on just 44.4% shooting, which is 12th.

[506] Toronto/ New York Under 199
Going under the total in this game as we have a couple of bad offenses, going up against a couple of defenses that are more than capable of shutting their opponents down. Toronto is not a full uptempo team and they don’t shoot the ball well, while the Knicks are a slow down team, that also doesn’t shoot the ball well. The Knicks have allowed 101 ppg at home, but the Raptors have allowed just 98.3 ppg on the road. This will not be a good shooting game for these team and that means we should get a game in the 180s.

San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Clippers Thursday NBA Betting Preview & Free Pick

NBA Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Clippers
Written By David Hess (Follow me on Twitter @DavidHess311)


When: 10:30 PM ET, Thursday, February 18, 2016
Where: Staples Center in Los Angeles, California
Lines: San Antonio -4.5
Total: 205.5

The San Antonio Spurs had an excellent first half of the season, but much h of it was overlooked because of what the Warriors were doing. The Spurs are 45-8 on the year, including 17-8 on the road and they have a 14 game lead over the Memphis Grizzlies in the Southwest Division. The Spurs have won their last six games in a row, which followed a three game stretch where they had double digit losses in road games vs the Cavs and Warriors.

Those two losses have questioned just how good this team really is. They may have been running out of gas a bit as their they were able to beat the Lakers by just four points at home and Orlando by just two points on the road in two of their three games before the break. The Spurs are a solid offensive team this year as they come in ranked 5th in scoring (105 ppg) and first in FG% (49.1%), while at6 the defensive end of the floor they are tops in points allowed (91.8 ppg) and 32rd in defensive FG% (43.1%).

The Los Angeles Clippers come in at 35-15 overall, which includes a 17-8 mark at home. The Clipps have won their last 7 of their last 9, but come in off a wild 139-134 OT loss to the Celtics on the road. THat followed an OT win over Philadelphia, soi they really weren’t playing their best ball right before the break. The Clippers are still without Blake Griffin (Out Til March), who leads the team in scoring with 23.2 ppg and when he does return he will be suspended for the first four games for punching a team employee.

They still have Chris Paul, who is 2nd on the team in scoring at 19.3 ppg and they also have DeAndre Jordan, who is a beast on the boards pulling down 14.0 rpg (2nd in the league). He also scores 12 ppg and leads the league in FG% at 70.3%. This is an offensive minded team that comes in at 7th in the league in scoring, putting up 104.7 ppg, while hitting 46.2% of their shots, which is 5th in the league. On defense they have been solid as they rank 9th in points allowed, giving up just 100.8 ppg, while allowing teams to hit just 43.7% of their shots, which is 5th.

[503] San Antonio -4.5
I like the Spurs in this game. They have had some time to rest and should come out in the 2nd half of the season firing on all cylinders. The Spurs have not played well vs the top teams on the road, so I look for them to come out and make a statement vs a Clippers team that is still without Blake Griffin. The Spurs are 23-6 ATS in their last 29 games following a ATS loss, while the Clippers are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and we note that the road team is 4-1 ATS the last five in the series. San Antonio is the better team and the deeper team as well and should win this one by at least seven points.

Washington Wizards vs Milwaukee Bucks Thursday NBA Preview & Free Pick

NBA Preview: Washington Wizards vs Milwaukee Bucks

The Washington Wizards have not had the year they were expected to and are currently 23-27 on the year and in 4th place in the Southeast Division. Lucky for them they are in a weak division so they are just 5 games out of first. The Wizards have been erratic mostly this year and have actually played better on the road (12-11) than at home (11/16). This team has some nice star power with Bradley Beal and John Wall, but Beal has been in and out of the lineup and has played in just 29 games so far. Wall leads the team in scoring so far at 20.1 ppg, while Beal is 2nd with 18.7 ppg. Washington has been a strong offensive team as they come in ranked 8th in scoring, putting up 102.9 ppg on 45.8% shooting, which is 9th. Defense is where they have had their issues this year as they come in ranked 26th in points allowed (105.5 ppg) and 29th in defensive FG% (47.1%).

The Milwaukee Bucks come into the game at  21-32 on the year overall, but they have been a solid home team where they are 14-8 so far. They have won just two of their last  games overall and have really struggled on defense of late, allowing 104.9 ppg over in their last 8 games. The defense has really been a weakness for them all year as they come in at 20th in the league in points allowed, giving up 103.1 ppg, while allowing teams to connect on 45.2% of their shots, which is 19th in the league. The offense has also been a problem for the Bucks as they are 24th in the league in scoring at 98.1 ppg, despite the fact that they have hit 46.2% of their shots, which is 4th in the league.

[704) Milwaukee -1.5 over Washington
The Bucks don’t have a lot of star power on offense and while they have struggled on defense of late is is still nothing compared to the 113.2 popg that the Wizards have allowed in their last 9 games, plus we also note that the Bucks have been a very solid team at home this year so far. The favorite is 6-1 the last seven in the series, while the Bucks are 7-1 ATS their last 8 vs the Eastern Conference. I look for the Bucks to win this one by at least 5 points.

The Los Angeles Clippers come in at 33-17 overall, which includes a 16-9 mark on the road. The Clipps have won their last 5 of their last 6 games and come in off 107-93 road win over Orlando.  The Clippers are still without Blake Griffin (Out Til March), who leads the team in scoring with 23.2 ppg, but they still have Chris Paul, who is 2nd on the team in scoring at 18.8 ppg and they also have DeAndre Jordan, who is a beast on the boards pulling down 13.9 rpg (2nd in the league). He also scores 12 ppg and leads the league in FG% at 71.6%. This is an offensive minded team as they come in at 7th in the league in scoring, putting up 104.3 ppg, while hitting 46.3% of their shots, which is 4th in the league. On defense they have been solid as they rank 9th in points allowed, giving up just 103.3 ppg, while allowing teams to hit just 43.8% of their shots, which is 7th.

The Miami Heat come in at 29-22 on the year, including 16-9 at home. They have won 6 of their last 7 games and are currently just a half game behind Atlanta for the top spot in the South Division. Chris Bosh is healthy and playing well as he comes in leading the team with 19.1 ppg, while Hassan Whiteside has been the big stat sheet stuffer for the team as he scores 12.2 ppg on 61.6% shooting (2nd in the league). He also leads the league in blocks per game (4.0) and pulls down 11.1 rpg (3rd in the league). He is a big reason why the Heat come in ranked 2nd in the league in points allowed, giving up just 95.8 ppg, while allowing teams to connect on just 43.6% of their shots, which is 6th. On Offense they shoot the ball well, hitting 46% of their shots, which is 8th in the league, but they score just 96 ppg, which is 29th.

[858) LA Clippers/ Miami Under 195
Let’s go with the Under in this game. The Clippers come in playing some very solid defense right now as they have allowed just 93.2 ppg in their last six games, while the Miami Heat have been a strong defensive team all year as they have allowed just 95.8 ppg all year, including just 95.2 ppg at home. On offense the Clippers have been solid, but Miami will slow them down with their defense and with their grind it out style of offense. Miami home games have averaged just 194 ppg and the earlier meeting between these teams put up just 194 points. This one should be played in the 180s.

Portland Trailblazers come into this game off a hard fought 110-103 loss at home to the Toronto Raptors, which has been a very hot team of late. The loss broke a five game winning streak that the Blazers were on. The Blazers had allowed just 95.8 ppg during their 5 game win streak, but and average Toronto offense put up 110 points on them, with a big part of the damage coming for long range as the Raptors hit an amazing 62.3% (12-19) from downtown. Defending the three-ball has been an issue for Portland all year as they have allowed teams to hit 36.9% from beyond the arc, which is 25th in the league. Overall the Blazers are 18th in points allowed, giving up 102.3 ppg and 18th in defensive FG% (44.9%). Damian Lillard is the 6th leading scorer in the league at 24 ppg and leads an offense that is 14th in the league in scoring (102.2 ppg) and 14th in shooting (44.7%).     


The Houston Rockets have been playing solid ball of late as they have won 11 of their last 17 games. Overall they are 27-25, including 16-12 at home and if the playoffs started today they would have the 7th seed in the West. Their last game was at Phoenix, which they won 111-105, but failed to cover the 7.5 point spread. The Rockets had a decent shooting night, but they did miss 10 free throws and were outrebounded in the game 54-49. Still their defense came up when needed as they held the Suns to under 40% shooting for the game and caused eight more turnovers than the Suns did. Defense is not the forte of this team as they come in ranked 28th in the league in points allowed, giving up 106.5 ppg, while allowing teams to connect on 46.5% of their shots, which is 26th in the league. Offense is the name of the game for this team and they have their own top ten scorer in the league in James Harden, who is 2nd, putting up 27.7 ppg. As a team the rockets are 4th in scoring, putting up 105.4 ppg, while hitting 44.5% of their shots, which is 17th.

[501) Portland/ Houston Over 217.5
Let’s go with the Over in the one. Rocket games have gone 17-4 to their over in their last 21 games and their last 7 games have averaged 224.7 ppg, with all 7 putting up at least 216 points. The Rockets love to push tempo and the Blazers will play that ways as well. Both offenses have been solid of late and the Rockets don’t know the word defense. The Over is 13-3 in Portland’s last 16 vs. a team with a winning straight up record, while the Over is also 12-2 in Houston’s last 14 vs. Western Conference. This one should be a load of fun, with at least 220 points being scored.

The Toronto Raptors come in as one of the hottest teams in the league as they have won 12 of their last 13 gamer and are at 33-16 on the year, which includes a 15-10 mark on the road. Due to their recent stretch they have now opened up a five game lead on the Celtics in the Atlantic Division and their overall record is second in the East. The Raptors have done it mainly with defense this year as they come in ranked 5th in the league in points allowed, giving up just 97 ppg on the year while allowing teams to hit just 44.1% of their shots, which is 9th. The offense for the Raptors has been really average as they come in at 16th in scoring, putting up 101.4 ppg on 44.5% shooting (18th). They are strong from long range, hitting 36.2% from beyond the arc, which is 7th.  
The Portland Trailblazers enter this game on a bit of a roll as they have won 5 in a row and 9 of their last 11 games. Their current 5 game win streak has come all on this floor. The Blazers are now at 24-26 on the year, including 15-10 at home and if the playoffs started today they would be in as an 8th seed. The Blazers have been a rather average offensive team as they come in ranked 13th in scoring, putting up 102.1 ppg, while hitting 44.6% of their shots, which is 14th. The defense has been pretty average as well as they come in ranked 18th in points allowed, giving up 102.3 ppg, while allowing teams to hit 44.9% which is 17th. Portland is starting to figure things out and just may be a team to watch down the stretch.

[706)Toronto/ Portland Under 204
I am going with the Under here. The Raptors have been a strong defensive squad this year and the Blazers have really ramped it up at that end of the floor lately as they have allowed just 94 ppg in their last four games. Both teams are very average on offense and neither are really uptempo, which should give us a nice slow pace in this game. The Under is 6-0 in Portland’s last 6 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. This one should be a defensive battle.
