The Raptors have been a very good team this season at home , they play at a rapid pace and really score a lot of points . Now they play against the Suns who dont pay much attention to defense and will have a lot of troubles trying to guard all of the Raptors shooters but can score quite solid points on the board . They are in b2b situation and I think that the Raptors will look to run them over in the first half . They managed to keep the game tight against a lot of top teams this season in the first half and I think that they will manage to keep up scoring wise with Raptors in first half . Even if not I still think that this two teams will combine for 110 or more pts in the first half .

Charlotte will have Kemba back for this game and he is the one of their key players in their games.  Makes their offense that much more fluent and you could see in their game against Miami how much they struggle with spacing without Kemba . They play against Orlando who is in b2b situation and will look to run them over here . Considering the last 5 of 6 games have gone over this line by Orlando I dont think that this one will be any different . And dont see how the Magic will struggle once again with their shooting .

Cavs are on fire at the moment , they are one of the hottest teams of the league with 8 wins in a row and looking to extend it even further . They depend for the most part of the game on King James and Kevin Love who are producing a lot for them both inside the paint and outside on almost everything . I expekt for them to look to run over the Bulls who gave them a big fight in Cleveland at the start of the season with their athletic abilities and running . I see Cavs over 57 pts in 1st half here .

This will be an uptempo paced game from the start of it untill the very end of it with very little interest for defense from either of this two teams . The Suns have struggled defending against everyone this season but they are one of the highest scoring teams of the league . Philly will bully them with their passing and sharing of the ball and if they have a good shooting night will probably score some big numbers on them . Still I expekt for both of this two teams to score big in this game and for them to go over the total in first half .

The Orlando Magic has beaten the Knicks the last time they played against each other but the Knicks were without their top player and top scorer this season Porzingis . With him they are that much more dangerous on both ends of the floor . Considering that both teams have been playing at an up tempo pace this whole season I think that this game will be the same case as well and that they will combine for 214 or more pts in the game .

The issue here is that the Lakers are in a back 2 back situation which means that this is the 2nd game for them in two night but I still think that they should find a way to score against the very offensive minded Rockets . Not a lot of teams have been able to threaten the Rockets this season , last 6 games in a row they won by 14 or more pts difference mostly because of their offense . But the Lakers with the coach Walton and with good penetrating inside can very much go over this line of points here .


 

The Nuggets play against the LA Lakers without one of their top players in Nikola Jokic and without him they will lose a spark on both ends of the floor . Still against the Lakers I think that they will manage to score and that both teams will for that matter , The Nuggets will have troubles stopping them on the other end and there for the first half over looks quite well . 

The Celtics will have an upper hand in this game without a doubt and I think that they will be more than capable to score big numbers on the Suns team in the first half .I expekt for them to look to open this game strong and to solve any question about the winner of the game in the first half of this one led by Kyrie . 

The Golden State Warriors all of top players are now up to probable , that means that the superstars as Curry , Durant , Iggy  , Green will be all ready to face the Magic team on the road . Orlando has had some good shows this season but they dont the offensive or defensive potential to play with the Warriors . I think that Golden State with all of their power will cover the spread of points in 1st half and will open this game strong .

The Raptors have picked it up offensively , they have lost a game against the Pacers not so long ago , in the last couple of weeks and now it looks like they will look to get their revenge . Indiana has also picked it up last couple of weeks , they are now 5/7 of the last 7 games and really looked well on offensive end . Still the Raptors will make this one an up tempo paced game . In such a game they have a big advantage here with all of their top shooters and I expekt them to go over 112 points at home .
 

Miami without Whiteside inside to protect the point will have a hard time guarding it against the strong penetrators of the Hornets and the inside post by Howard . This will be a higher scoring game because Miami without Whiteside isnt as close of a nearly good defensive team . I expekt for both teams to play at an up tempo in this game and for them to combine for over 201 points overall .

The Trail Blazers have finally showed some signs of offense in the last three games all of which they have gone over this line . They play against the Bucks team who just arent on the level they were at least season and the combination of Bledose and Giannis needs time to get together . They havent been good on defense this season and I think that the Trail Blazers with their spacing and good shooting from outside can easily cover this line of points .

The Cavs have finally picked it up to the level that was expekted out of them from the start of the season and now they are really hot . They are destroying everyone they play against with a lot of play coming from Love and James who are their leaders on the court so far in the  season as it was expekted . Against the struggling Hawks who just dont look that good this season I think that they will manage to get a comfortable win by 7 or more points .

Baskonia has really picked up their level of play in the past couple of weeks and they have won last 6 out of 7 games they played . Still here they play against one of the best coached teams of the Euroleague , one of the best overall defensive teams and I just dont see how they can win this game here . 

In the game between the Anadolu Efes and Milano I expekt to see plenty of points to be scored on both ends of the floor and for this two teams to combine over 163 points cause that is the style they play at this season and the high quality players they have on their disposal . 

Pinar Karsiyaka and trabzonospor have all been this season very offensive minded teams and I think that this game will be about offense . Both average over 80 points in the league this season and considering how Trabzonospor has played off late with their high calibre players I think that they will go well over 170 points in this game . 

The 76ers can beat the Wizards , Washington hasnt been as good as they have been last season and neither is their bench . They have streak of bad plays combined with some good plays this season and it happens to often for them . This should be an offensive game as well , thats how the 76ers play at home and I think that with decent efficiency by both teams they will go over this one here .For 76ers there are a lot of question players like Simmons and Embiid who might be forced to skip this game and if they do that then it will be that much easier for the Wizards .

The Orlando Magic team has been one of the nicest offensive surprises this season , they have really sparked it up with their offense , they play at a fast pace and are one of the league best shooting teams with players like Gordon , Vucevic even shooting and hitting for them . Play against the OKC in this game who have been on and off this season , they are one of the better defensive teams of the league but dont think that this one will be about defense . I expekt for this game to be a game of three pointers and for them to cover the total of points . 

Utah Jazz have done one thing well this season and that has been protecting their own court . Not a lot of teams have managed to get wins in Salt Lake City and even without Gobert I think that they are favorites against the Nuggets who are without Millsap who has been one of the key pieces for them this season . I expekt for Utah to once again win at home with 2 or more pts difference .

The Cavs and the Miami Heat have been quite good on both ends of the floor last week or so . Miami has won all three games last week and the Cavs are on a run of 7 straight . They look sharper on the offensive end even though they depend a lot on King James . I expekt for this game to be played at bit faster pace with plenty of three pointers being fired on both ends . Miami will look to match the things with their shooting and I expekt for them to go over the spread of points .

The Bulls have played the Suns not so long ago and we saw a very decent offensive show from both of them . The Suns will look to play their style in this game and the Bulls with their athletic young players are also quite capable to score big numbers against poor defensive teams as the Suns . I expekt for the first half to be fast paced overall and for them to go over this line .

Houston Rockets play against the shorthanded Nets team and I think that they will look to run them over in the first half . One of the top teams at home this season and overall with CP3 back in the lineup should score easily on the offensive end . They have far better lineup and with Chris and James directing and creating plays for them there should be no shortage of scoring in the first half . Nets played last night against Memphis and might be a bit fatiqued in this one .

Philly and Cavs will be one of the sweetest games to watch tonight . Very attractive styles of play on both ends of the floor and plenty of star players on both teams . Philly plays at a very fast pace this season , they share the ball at superb level and really create the shots for their teammates with their ball movement . I expekt for both teams to look to run in this game and for them to combine over this line of points .

The Indiana Pacers and the Orlando Magic have been one of the nicer surprises in the Eastern conference . Two teams filled with talent that play very attractive basketball this season go against each other here . I expekt a very fast pace to be forced on both ends of the floor cause that is what this two teams are all about . They should combine for 220 or more points in the game here .

The Memphis Grizzlies team has not been at their best so far this season , they are still without their superstar guard Mike Conley and without him they arent able to win games with only Marc Gasol as their consistent offense . Against the Nets team who play at one of the fastest paces this season I think that we will see plenty of scoring on both sides . Brooklyn will look to push as much as they can in order to deny Marc Gasol from getting the ball and we should see plenty of points on the board by both teams .

The Bulls have been a risky proposition for whenever they play against almost everyone this season but the Heat team has looked better overall so far in the season and they should win this game . Miami has caught my eye with slightly faster game than last season and they are scoring well against traditionally good defensive teams while they are having some struggles scoring against offensive teams . No one knows the reason for it but its true . Against the Bulls they will have plenty of good looks from behind the arc , they will be able to run with them as well and should score over 101 pts in this game .

Both of this two teams have been a bit on and off so far in the season but both have the potential to defend at times with their athleticism . Philadelphia has been a very tough oponnent for everyone to deal with at home this season and I think that they will be such in this game as well . The Magic team can play at an up tempo but I know that will not bring them a win here . I expekt for the game here to tighten up at some point and for them to combine less than 221 points overall .

Utah Jazz even without Gobert are still favorites against almost everyone in the league they play against at home , their crowd is something special and their team and the players get  a bit hungrier in the Salt Lake City . Bucks have not yet reached their full potential , Bledsoe and Giannis still need more gaming time together and against one of the toughest teams to face on the road I dont think that they will matchup well .

Sacramento Kings have managed to slow down almost any teams pace of the game when they played in Sacramento and I expekt for that to be the case in this game as well . The Clippers have not been special this season , had a good start to it but nothing more than that - They still have a lot of injuried players on their roster and without them they cant score big numbers . I dont see a way for this two teams to go over this line .

Cleveland has picked up their level of play , now they are on a streak of 6 consecutive wins but still havent played up to their potential on neither side of the floor .They have struggled defensively against everyone this season and the well rounded Hornets team should be another one that will give their coach some headache . I expekt for this two teams to combine for 112 or more points in first half here which they have done in all 4 of their last games and the one that was played this season .
