We are into the home stretch of the NBA. I am going to breakdown motivations as I have mentioned before. There are so many people that are resting, hurt, or just not trying to win at the moment.
All the books have almost given up on NBA boosts. It feels odd considering how compelling the last few weeks should be. Hopefully they start to pick up for the playoffs and the Masters.
DEN at CHA +3.5
Both teams still playing. The Hornets can push Brooklyn into the 9/10 slot by continuing to win. Denver has seeding and avoiding the play-in to play for.
ORL at CLE -9.5
Orlando is tanking. Cleveland can get out of the play-in, but seems content to get healthy. Be careful with the Cavs.
ATL at IND +7
The Pacers want to lose. Atlanta needs to win but has struggled all year long.
CHI at NYK +5
Bulls are sort of playing for seeding, but not really. The Knicks are not officially dead, but they are close. They will be eliminated soon.
SAC at MIA -13
The Kings are dead. Miami is playing for the number one seed in the East when they are not fighting themselves.
BOS at TOR +4
The Celtics are on fire and currently the No.1 seed in the East. Toronto is fighting to avoid the play-in games. Both are trying and going hard when they are healthy. The Celtics are not tonight though.
SAS at HOU +7
The Spurs are close to knocking the Lakers out of the playoffs completely. The Spurs are going hard. Houston is dead.
GSW at MEM -10.5
These two teams are basically locked into their seeds. GSW will be 3rd and Memphis will be 2nd. Dallas does have an outside shot at catching the Warriors, but neither are really playing for anything.
OKC at POR +2.5
Both teams tanking. So many people already ruled out here. This is a terrible game. Be careful with tankers.
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!

Basketball Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
DDR to record 30+ points +330 (DK)
DDR’s point prop is set to 23.5.
DDR is +285 to score 30+ on another site. I am passing. I just do not see the need to play this in a spot that may be a blowout. Pass.
DEN/NYK/BOS to all win +650 (FOX)
The Knicks are dogs, why even include this. This should pay +876. Easy pass.
