The NBA season is reaching the final stages with playoff positioning heating up. There are several games set to tip-off on March 13 with the battle in New York the featured game.
New York Knicks versus Brooklyn Nets
New York enters 12th in the Eastern Conference and Brooklyn is eighth. The Knicks have a +20 to +19 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and “average up” versus “ice cold up” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The teams have been involved in games going “over” the line in a combined nine of the last 12 games. The Score Predictor has the Knicks by a 118-107 score with 52 percent confidence. Both teams have been consistently performing according to their favorite/underdog status. I like the Nets to come out on top in overtime in a game going “over” the line.
Philadelphia 76ers versus Orlando Magic
The Philadelphia 76ers are among the hottest teams in the NBA. They are +26 on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” versus +2 and “average down” for the Magic. The Totals Predictor shows the teams are trending on opposite sides of the over/under line, therefore avoid making a bet on the over/under. The Score Predictor has the 76ers in a route by a 121-98 score with 51 percent confidence. Orlando is among the most stable teams in the league at +37 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. The Magic could keep it interesting for a while, but the 76ers talent will take over. Go with the Sixers to win and cover.
Los Angeles Lakers versus Phoenix Suns
The Lakers are 9th in the Western Conference and are battling for a playoff spot, while the Suns post the best record in the NBA. Phoenix is +25 and “average” while the LAkers are +9 on the Power Ranking Indicator and “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The teams have been trending in games under the line in seven of the last 12. The Score Predictor has the Suns by a comfortable 124-113 margin with 53 percent confidence. Phoenix is +40 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. They are favorites and will win in a game going “over” the line.
Memphis Grizzlies versus Oklahoma City Thunder
Here’s a matchup with two teams heading in opposite directions. The Grizzlies are 2nd in the Western Conference, +21 on the Power Ranking Indicator, and “average up”. On the other hand, the Thunder are near the bottom in the conference, +1 and “ice cold down”. The Score Predictor likes the Grizzlies by a 121-110 margin with 38 percent confidence. Note that the teams have been involved in games going over the line in nine of the last 12 games. The Thunder are more stable at +24 to +8 and will be home underdogs. Go with Memphis to win and bet “over” the line.
