NBA Tips and Trends

New Orleans Hornets at Orlando Magic

Key Injuries-
Hornets (-1.5, O/U 208): The Hornets are 3-1 on their current road trip and have won 6 of their last 7. However, the New Orleans defense was shredded last time out against the Raptors, allowing 111 points and will be tested even more against the Magic. “It’s going to be a tough test facing the big fellow, Mr. (Dwight) Howard,” New Orleans head coach Byron Scott said. “They have good perimeter shooters and play a lot like (the Raptors)." Howard had 24 points and 15 rebounds against these Hornets in November.

Hornets are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games vs. Southeast Division.
The OVER is 8-0-1 in New Orleans' last 9 games vs. Eastern Conference.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 104

Magic: The Magic enter this game well rested, as their last game was on Friday night. Orlando is 2-2 ATS with 3 days of rest, but according to team insiders it was “very much needed.” The Magic have been one of the East’s most dominating teams, but they have lost to 2 of the last 3 teams they have faced from West (Spurs/Warriors).

Magic are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 home games.
Underdog is 8-0 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
The UNDER is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings.

Key Injuries- G Keyon Dooling (8 ppg; ankle) is probable.
G Jameer Nelson (11 ppg; jaw) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 105 (Side Play of the Day)

Golden State Warriors at San Antonio Spurs

Warriors: Golden State is looking to win back-to-back games for the first time since a 3-game winning streak from March 7-12. The Warriors are just .500 in their last 10 games overall, but earned a key win in the West playoff race with a 114-104 victory over the Mavericks on Sunday. Matt Barnes said: “We don’t want to count on anybody else (to get into playoffs), and we know we have to keep winning.”

Warriors are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games vs. Southwest Division.
The OVER is 9-2 in Golden State's last 11 games vs. Southwest Division.
The OVER is 9-3 in Golden State's last 12 games as an underdog.

Key Injuries- F Mickael Pietrus (7 ppg; groin) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 100

Spurs (-8, O/U 207): San Antonio has completely dominated Golden State at home over the last decade. The Spurs have won the last 19 home meetings in the series by an average of 17 points. Golden State - which has averaged just 85 points in that stretch - hasn't won in San Antonio since February 14, 1997. The Spurs have won 7 straight overall and 11 of 12 at the AT&T Center. Tony Parker said: “We are focusing really well right now.”

Spurs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Key Injuries- F Robert Horry (3 ppg; knee) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 108

Phoenix Suns at Denver Nuggets

Suns: Phoenix starts one of the older lineups in the league, which has been tested logging lots of minutes against the Nets and Warriors just in its last 2 games. The Suns are just 5-9-1 ATS on no rest, but they have won 4 out of their last 6 on the road while averaging 108 ppg overall away.

Suns are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
The UNDER is 10-4 in Phoenix's last 14 games vs. Northwest Division.

Key Injuries- G Grant Hill (13 ppg; groin) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 115

Nuggets (-5, O/U 235.5): The Nuggets are finally right in the ***** of the playoff race in the Western Conference. Denver is averaging 110 ppg this season and has won 8 straight at the Pepsi Center, outscoring its opponents by an average of 20 points during that stretch. The Nuggets scored 126 points and defeated these Suns by 13 the last time they welcomed Phoenix to town.

Nuggets are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite.
