dime bet 859 CHL 14.0 (-110) Bookmaker.com vs 860 NYK Analysis:
NBA - 859 Charlotte Bobcats @ 860 New York Knicks
Projected Line: NY Knicks by 10 points | 200 points
The Bobcats are being much more competitive right now than they were for example at the start of this month, when they were losing every game by more than 20 points, where I made my share of fade picks on them. However, Charlotte has been playing much better lately. Kemba Walker and Gerald Henderson are being much more efficient on offense, Byron Mullens was finally demoted and he is now a mere backup, while Josh McRoberts is now on the starting lineup and even though he is far from being a good player, he is like an All-Star player in comparison to Mullens!
This increase in the Bobcats's competitive levels will be well tested tonight on a matchup that is actually favorable to them, as the Knicks are on a perfect fade spot tonight. The NY team is currently in a winning streak and they are coming from back to back games, where they crushed good teams in Boston and Memphis. After tonight's game, they will be facing the Celtics once again next Sunday, so this is a pure "overlook" spot for them tonight.
Even though Charlotte is pretty one-dimensional on offense, as they need both their combo guards Walker and Henderson to perform well to be somewhat competitive on their games, they have a great matchup against the Knicks. The NY team is using Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni as their starting backcourt, so their lack of speed is quite evident on that area. On the other hand, Tyson Chandler is out due to injury and so, the Knicks are playing without their best interior defender as well. Keynon Martin is playing well, but he isn't Chandler at all! This is probably why the Knicks are allowing 70% FG at the rim on their last 10 games and also why they have allowed 1.00 PPP on pick and roll ball handler plays over their last 10 games!
Of course the Bobcats's defense still sucks at both defending on the inside and in the perimeter, but they won't be pounded down low tonight, as the Knicks are completely perimeter-oriented right now. Sure that the Bobcats is an awful 3pts defensive team all season long and that hasn't improved recently, as they are allowing 41.7% 3pts (#28 in the league) on their last 10 games, however with the edges they will have on offense tonight, I expect Charlotte to take advantage their clear spot edge and turn this game into a surprisingly competitive one. Therefore, I'll be taking the Bobcats tonight in a shootout contest.

Projected Lines: 194 points | San Antonio by 1 point
San Antonio was able to beat Denver at home on their last game, but that happened by just one point in a game where it was clear that we weren't in front of the dominant Spurs that we have been used to watch all season long, excluding on these last few games. It's almost incredible how the Spurs weren't able to crush Denver, considering the fact that they shot 10-15 3pts against a Nuggets team that couldn't hit a single three-pointer: 0-10 3pts! That happened because San Antonio keeps committing a lot of turnovers, as for the third game in a row they committed 18 or more turnovers, while they are being constantly outrebounded and their second unit isn't dominating nobody anymore.
The Clippers is in a good spot tonight to explore these problems of the Spurs. Eric Bledsoe is back and the Clippers are playing more aggressively on the defensive end, while the LA team is also one of the best rebounding teams in the league. But the key matchup in tonight's game will be between Chris Paul and Tony Parker. On the last game between these two teams, Tony Parker dominated Chris Paul, in a excellent performance of the French player who had 12-16 FG, 31 points and 7 assists in just 28 minutes, while Chris Paul had 1-6 FG, 3 assists and 3 turnovers! Chris Paul is probably the most competitive player in the league and he will make tonight's matchup against Tony Parker very personal. Unfortunately for the Spurs, Parker is still banged up and so, I expect Paul to get the upperhand on this great PG duel this time around.
I expect tonight's game to be a very close one. Even though the Spurs have been struggling on offense, their defense has been impeccable since their disastrous defensive performance on their home game against Cleveland. They are protecting the paint very well, while Tim Duncan looks like a 26 years old player! The same can be said about the Clippers. DeAndre Jordan is being more active, so we can expect this contest to be a tight game with a playoff atmosphere between two great defenses. Therefore, I'll be taking both the Clippers and the Under in here.
