Let's get ready for some Pro Hoops!
Golden State Warriors (30-19 SU, 27-21-1 ATS, 31-17-1 O/U) at Memphis (30-18 SU, 27-20-1 ATS, 18-29-1 O/U)
Last game: (1/9/13) Memphis (+1) over GOLDEN STATE, 94-87. The Golden State Warriors are coming off two straight road losses to Oklahoma City (119-98) and Houston (140-109). Andrew Bogut (ankle) should be back for the Warriors, who might want to play some defense. Memphis, who does play defense, has also lost two straight games including a 103-92 road loss at Atlanta on Wednesday giving 2. Golden State is 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a S.U. loss. Pro Basketball Odds: Memphis is a 3.5-point favorite. Total: 191.
LA Clippers (35-16 SU, 28-23 ATS, 27-24 O/U) at Miami (32-14 SU, 22-24 ATS, 22-24 O/U)
Last game: (11/14/12). LA CLIPPERS (+1) over Miami, 107-100. The Clippers are hurting right now and it show. They broke a three-game losing streak on Wednesday by defeating Orlando, 86-76, giving 6. Chris Paul (knee), Chauncey Billups (foot), Blake Griffin (hamstring) and Jamal Crawfrod (shoulder) are all questionable. Miami has won three straight, including a 114-108 win over Houston, giving 7.5. Unlike the Clippers, they are healthy. Miami is 4-0 ATS last 4 at home in series. Hoops Odds: NL. Total: NT.
Chicago (29-19 SU, 20-28 ATS, 20-28 O/U) at Utah (25-22 SU, 24-25-1 ATS, 23-26-1 O/U)
Last game: (3/10/12). CHICAGO (-10) over Utah, 111-97. Chicago is finally getting healthier. Joakim Noah (foot) and Carlos Boozer (hamstring) are expected to play. The Bulls are a better road team than they are a home team this year but are now on their final game of a six-game road trip. Utah is coming off two straight wins over Milwaukee (100-86) and Sacramento (98-91ot). They are 19-5 SU at home and just 9-17 on the road. Chicago is 7-2 ATS L9 in series. Pro Hoops Odds: Utah is a 4-point favorite. Total: 186.5.
