NBA DAILY PROJECTIONS

March 16th, 2017
Hello everyone! There are 6 games in the NBA tonight. It has been a while since I last had a 5-star bet (the last one came on March 8th with the Raptors +2 in New Orleans), but we have one today! My record on 3+ stars has gone down to 14-9-1 due to a 3-game losing streak. I hope to snap the skid tonight!

“AMAZING” BET (5 stars / 5):
I’m going with New York -4 versus Brooklyn. Lots of key injuries to report. On the Nets’ side, Sean Kilpatrick and Joe Harris have officially been ruled out. As for Jeremy Lin, he is expected to play. He rolled an ankle during his last game two days ago and briefly left the game, but he came back to finish it. He also participated in yesterday’s practice, so it looks like he’s ready to go (not sure if he’s going to be affected by the injury though). The Knicks will be missing two players: Joakim Noah (who has been out for a while now) and Kristaps Porzingis (not officially out yet, but very unlikely to play). Overall all of those injuries are more detrimental to New York, and that has been taken into account when making the projections. Brooklyn has shown clear signs of improvement with 3 wins in their last 8 games, including a 120-112 victory over the Knicks four days ago in Brooklyn. The two previous meetings both went in the Knicks’ favor: 95-90 in Brooklyn and 110-96 in New York. As a matter of fact, the Knicks have won the last 3 home matchups versus the Nets.
“PROCEED WITH CAUTION” BET (1 star / 5):
I’ll go with Atlanta -3.5 against the Grizzlies. The rest factor is definitely in favor of the Hawks: they benefited from two days’ rest, while Memphis was playing last night (it will also be their 3rd game in 4 days and their 4th game in 6 days). Chandler Parsons may be out for the season for Memphis. The Hawks just beat them 107-90 on the road. The last meeting in Atlanta occurred almost exactly one year ago, where the Hawks won 95-83. They are 5-4 over their last 9 games, but look at the teams that beat them: San Antonio, Golden State, Cleveland and Indiana. All great/good teams! As for Memphis, they went on an ugly 5-game skid, but managed to win their last two games.
Thanks a lot for reading!
