Toronto Raptors the team to beat in NBA Eastern Conference

It’s another busy week in the NBA, and ZCode System’s followers can expect another great week of wins. Keep following ZCode System for more great NBA picks as we prepare for the NBA All-Star Game.

As the Association heads into the All-Star break, the Toronto Raptors have moved into first place in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors are on a five-game winning streak and the team has seen the Boston Celtics endure a sudden sloppy spell. Toronto’s recent winning run saw the team blow past the Celtics at home, 111-91.

The game between the Eastern Conference’s heavyweights saw ...

NBA predictions: February 8th

The NBA All-Star game tips off on February 18th and the Association is quickly nearing the break. There are still plenty of games before the All-Star Game for bettors to wager on, however. Thursday night February 8th will see six big games in the league played.

NBA Predictions: February 8th Atlanta Hawks vs. Orlando Magic

The two worst teams in the NBA’s Eastern Conference clash on Thursday night in Orlando. Both teams lack defense and have difficulty stopping opponents. The Orlando Magic give up 110.4 points per game while the Atlanta Hawks allow 108.3. Atlanta has won the fewest ...

NBA Predictions: February 9

New Orleans Pelicans versus Philadelphia 76ers

Both teams are eighth in their respective conferences and are relatively evenly matched on the oscillators. The 76ers hold a +16 to +12 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and “average” to “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Pelicans won the first meeting as a home favorite, but the 76ers will likely be a favorite at home this time. Given that the 76ers are tied for 9th in Team Volatility, I like Philadelphia in a game decided by six points or less.

Indiana Pacers versus Boston Celtics

The Celtics are on top ...

NBA Predictions: February 2

Atlanta Hawks versus Boston Celtics

Although Boston still leads in the Atlantic Division, they have played relatively poorly over their last ten. This is indicated by their “dead” status on the Team Strength Oscillator and their +4 rating on the Power Ranking Indicator. Atlanta is also fairly poorly of late, with an “ice cold down” status and +5 on the Power Ranking Indicator. Boston has won the first two this season as road favorites. It’s hard to envision them losing at home, so go with the Celtics, as they will pull away in the fourth quarter.

Los Angeles Lakers versus ...

NBA Predictions: January 26

Philadelphia 76ers versus San Antonio Spurs

The 76ers come in “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator despite blowing a big lead against the Grizzlies on Monday. The Spurs are “average down” and are just +14 on the Power Ranking Index compared to +28 for the 76ers. Philadelphia won the last meeting as a home favorite on January 3. The Spurs are likely the favorite at home and are tied for sixth in Team Volatility. Although I give the edge to the Spurs at home, it wouldn’t surprise me to see a Philadelphia upset, so would avoid betting on this ...

Are the Boston Celtics still the best NBA team in the East?

Between October and November, the Boston Celtics reeled off 16 straight wins. The team’s run showed just why general manager Danny Ainge traded for guard Kyrie Irving and his supporting cast. Since the Miami Heat ended the Celtics’ run on November 22, Boston has continued its strong play; but the team has suffered nine losses since the Heat broke up the streak.

Boston resumes its NBA season on January 21 against the Orlando Magic. The Celtics have already beaten the Magic two times this season. However, Boston is coming off of back-to-back losses for the third time.

On January ...

NBA Predictions: January 19

San Antonio Spurs versus Toronto Raptors

The Spurs come in “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator, while the Raptors are “average”. San Antonio also holds a slim +17 to +16 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and won the first meeting between the teams this season as a home favorite. Toronto is also “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator and are likely the favorite in this being the home team. The Spurs are also tied for ninth in Team Volatility, which makes the Raptors a good bet as the home favorite.

Miami Heat versus Brooklyn Nets

NBA Picks: January 5

Detroit Pistons versus Philadelphia 76ers

The Pistons are in the middle of the Eastern Conference playoff picture, while the 76ers look to edge closer to the .500 mark. The Pistons are “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator, while the 76ers are “ice cold down”. However the 76ers at +10 on the Power Ranking Indicator are trending up, while the Pistons are +15 and on the decline. The teams have split the first two meetings of the season. The key will be the status of Joel Embiid who injured his shooting hand on December 31. If he plays on Friday, I ...

NBA Picks: December 22

Note that team records are for games played through December 19

New York Knicks versus Detroit Pistons

The Teams are fairly evenly matched, as the Knicks head in at 16-14 while the Pistons are at 17-13. Detroit won the first meeting between the teams as a road underdog on October 21. New York holds a +25 to +20 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator, although Detroit has been rapidly on the rise. The Knicks are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator and are tied for first in Team Volatility. If the Knicks are the favorite come tip off, go ...

Which NBA team will LeBron James sign with in 2018?

The NBA season isn’t to the All-Star break, but that hasn’t sent stopped rumors speculating on which NBA team LeBron James will play for in 2018.

James is in the final year of his current Cleveland Cavaliers contract. Although he has a player option for next season, there is little chance he will be wearing a Cavs’ uniform after this season.

James is currently third in points per game (28.2) and he has been a big part of the Cavs’ recent surge in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland has won nine of its last 10 games, and the team ...

NBA Picks : Friday, December 8

Golden State Warriors versus Detroit Pistons

The Warriors are second in the Western Conference, while the Pistons are fourth in the East. Golden State will likely be without Steph Curry, due to an ankle injury, increasing Detroit’s chances. The Warriors still hold clear advantages on the Power Ranking Indicator (+26 to +11) and on the Team Strength Oscillator, “burning hot” versus “average down”. However, the Pistons won as a road dog on October 29. While the Warriors likely will come out with a victory, placing a bet on the underdog in this case might not be a bad choice.

Cleveland ...

NBA Picks: Friday, November 24

Note that team records are for games played through Tuesday, November 21.

Portland Trail Blazers versus Brooklyn Nets

Portland is 10-7 while the Nets are 6-10 this season, however the Nets defeated the Trail Blazers as a road underdog on November 11. Both teams come in with “average” status on the Team Strength Oscillator and nearly identical on the Power Ranking Indicator. Brooklyn is tied for sixth in Team Volatility and considering they will likely be home favorites, I see the Nets taking down Portland for the second time this season.

Orlando Magic versus Boston Celtics

The Celtics come in ...

NBA: Can Boston Celtics win 20 straight games?

The Boston Celtics have won 16 straight NBA games. It is an incredible feat, and many NBA experts didn’t feel the Celtics could be a powerhouse after losing Gordon Hayward to injury in Boston’s season opener. Superstar Kyrie Irving has really picked up the slack in Hayward’s absences and the guard is averaging 22.5 points per game.

One bookmaker has calculated that bettors could have made more than $690,000 on the Celtics, if they had bet $100 on the team to win the first game of their 16 game run and continued the bet until now. That is ...

NBA Predictions: November 17

Note that all records are for games played through November 14

Detroit Pistons versus Indiana Pacers

The Pistons come in as one of the hottest teams in the NBA with a record of 10-3. The Pacers are in the middle of the pack in the conference at 6-5. Detroit won both meetings between the teams this season on October 9 and November 8. Not a surprise, the Pistons are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator, while the Pacers are “ice cold up”. Similarly, there is a huge 14 point advantage for the Pistons on the Power Ranking Indicator. Nothing ...
