WAS -2 @ CHA: Wiz playing on a back to back trying to snap a four game losing streak having just lost to the hornets at home on Monday 92-88. Wall seems to be dealing with a headache issue and the line opened with CHA as a 1.5 pt fav, which are red flags. Hornets playing excellent D for the past month and seem to be playing more cohesively of late. This is only the 2nd of 4 games these teams will play in the regular season but this could be a preview of a 2-7 or 3-6 playoff matchup.
LAC +4.5 @ CLE: this is the 2nd and final matchup of these two championship contenders with the Cavs having won in LA 126-121 just two and a half weeks ago. Given the Cavs extended win streak and the Clips in the middle of a brutal stretch on the road, this line represents a 13.5 point swing from the game that was played on Jan16th. I expect LAC will show up today and have a strong chance to win straight up having just gotten caught sleeping in Brooklyn a few nights ago.
SAC +4 vs DAL: This is the third and final matchup of these two with the Mavs having taken bog prior match ups, one in Dallas on 11/11 106-98, and the other in Sacramento on 1/13 108-104. With Sacramento not a playoff contender in the West, the angle is not strong here. Add to the fact that this line has been bumped down because of the B2B situation for Dallas, but that shouldn't have the normal affect as the travel is minimal from Oakland to Sacramento. I'm keeping this game on the list for record keeping purposes but it would not be an advisable play following the revenge angle.
POR -4.5 vs PHX: game two of four tonight with the Suns having taken the first matchup at home 118-113 on 1/21. Given the Suns are coming off a big letdown (SU loss but ATS cover) at home in a strong revenge game vs MEM on Monday, the situation sets up nicely for POR to exact their revenge for a recent loss against PHX just 2 weeks ago. It's also doesn't hurt that the Blazers have the 2nd best home record in the league at 21-5. The line may be pretty fair, but I'd be extremely surprised if the Blazers lost on their home court in a nationally televised game tonight. The best strategy may be to set up for a halftime or in-game play on the blazers at any number less than 4 if they are down going into a break in play.
