NBA action resumes since the All-Star break and teams are looking to make a push for the playoffs. There are four games set to tip-off on February 27 with the 76ers hosting the Heat as the headline game.
Miami Heat versus Philadelphia 76ers
Miami comes into play 7th in the Eastern Conference and the 76ers are 3rd. Philadelphia is “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +26 on the Power Ranks Indicator, while the Heat are “average down” and +16, respectively. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in 7 of the last 12 combined. The Score Predictor likes the Heat by a 112-110 score with 70 percent confidence. Despite playing in the same conference, this is the first meeting between the teams this season. Both teams are very stable, according to the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the 76ers at home in a game “over” the line.
Detroit Pistons versus Charlotte Hornets
The two worst teams in the Eastern Conference face off in this game. Detroit has lost five of their last six, are “dead up” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +1 on the Power Ranks Indicator. Charlotte has won their last two, are “average up” and +3, respectively. The teams have been involved in games “under” the line in 7 of their last 12 games combined. The Score Predictor sees Charlotte in a 123-109 blowout with 77 percent confidence. Detroit has won both meetings between the teams so far this season. I think Charlotte bounces back in this one. Go with the Hornets but pass on the over/under bet.
Boston Celtics versus New York Knicks
Boston enters with the top record in the NBA and face the Knicks, who are 7th in the Eastern Conference. Both teams are 5-1 in their last six games and are “burning hot”. Boston has a +27 to +24 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been trending in games “over” the line, and the Score Predictor likes Boston by a 119-114 margin with 50 percent confidence. The teams have split the two games between each other this season, both winning on the road. Boston has been extremely consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status this season. I like Boston in this one in a game “over” the line.
Orlando Magic versus New Orleans Pelicans
New Orleans is 8th in the Western Conference and Orlando is currently out of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference. Both teams are 3-3 over their last six games. Orlando is “average” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and New Orleans is +20 to +6 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been involved in games “under” the line in eight of their last 12 games combined. The Score Predictor likes the Pelicans by a 120-114 score with 47 percent level of confidence. Orlando won the first game between the teams by 13 points at home. I like New Orleans to even the score on their home court in a game “under” the line.
