The numbers on tonight’s seven NBA games came out slower than usual as oddsmakers had to determine what to make of five specific contests in which injuries could have a direct impact on the outcome. That situation has been handled and here is a look at some the best side and total systems in the NBA marketplace to start another work week. Numbers from DiamondSportsbook.com.Boston (-5, 191) at Washington
After losing three games in a row to top notch competition, the Boston Celtics get a breather of sorts traveling to Washington to take on the Wizards. Road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points having lost two or more consecutive losses, with a win percentage of 60 to 75 percent and facing a team with a losing record are 28-9 ATS the last five seasons.
Milwaukee (+6.5, 188) at Miami
The Miami Heat have hit a dry spell changing the numbers on the scoreboard, scoring 92 points or less in three of their last five contests. This does not bode well for them since favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after going under the total by 36 or more points total in their last five games, with a marginal record (51 to 60 percent), facing a losing team, are 37-73 ATS in the previous five years.
L.A. Lakers (-1.5, 205) at Memphis
The Memphis Grizzlies just completed an outstanding 10-5 January to get them into the thick of Western Conference playoff talk and they catch the Los Angeles Lakers off a grueling one-point win over Boston yesterday. This contest wraps up the Lakers eight-game road trip. When a team like Memphis (51 to 60 win percent) faces a winning team and the total is 200 to 209 in February, the UNDER is 34-9 since 2005.
Sacramento (+11.5, 210.5) at Denver
The Kings aren’t exactly defensive-minded to begin with, ranking 26th in points permitted. Tonight’s situation isn’t likely to improve that record playing their third game in four days, having lost eight of nine. When the road team has failed to cover six or seven of last eight contests and is apparently tired having to play three times in roughly 96 hours and the total is 210 or higher, the OVER is a good bet at 23-8 since 2007.
Phoenix (+1, 212) at New Orleans
Chris Paul’s injury isn’t going to improve New Orleans status, as they worked back in playoff contention. Nevertheless, look to play OVER when the total is 210 or higher in a matchup involving two teams with winning percentage of 51 to 60 percent. This system calculates out to 36-8 in last 44 contests.
Dallas (+4, 199) at Utah
The Dallas Mavericks have been defenseless in last three outings, surrendering 111 points per game, with opponents converting on at least 53.3 percent of shot attempts. Utah on the other hand has won eight of nine, scoring 100 or more points six straight times. When the total is between 190 and 199.5 points and one club allowed105 points or more, against opponent having scored 100 points or more in five straight contests, review the OVER, which is 42-13 since 1996.
Charlotte (+1.5, 199) at Portland
The Portland Trailblazers are battered, bruised and shorthanded, yet they came away with two-point win at Dallas as nine-point underdogs Saturday. Charlotte is in the midst of a six-game West swing and since losing at Denver to get things started, the results have been quite positive in winning three in a row. Tonight’s matchup doesn’t set up well for Portland, as teams off an upset win as an underdog, against opponent off three or more consecutive road wins are 9-30 ATS since 1996.
