Saturday Night NBA

Miami Heat v Charlotte Bobcats



2nd December 20:35 GMT

I feel that the total is wrong here. Besides the really weird match between Heat and Jazz where Heat won 80 - 70, Heat’s 5 last home games hold the average of 199 points. Cats are much more offensive oriented with Jackson, despite the injury of Tyson Chandler that brought the totals down a bit. Still, while they are a defense team at home, they have 192 points total averages for the last 5 road games.

I strongly believe that Cats can score 95+ points here, while Heat shouldn't trail behind. 191 - 193 points total seems to me like the more accurate choice here.




Pick: Over 185.5 points, 1.91 - 2.5 units play - Betsafe


Sacramento Kings v Dallas Mavericks



3rd January 03:05 GMT

I like the Over here, but I will take Kings Over 101 points for now.

Kings scored 101+ points in all their home games but one. They shoot much better at home and play at a much faster tempo. We can add the great form that Hawes and Casspi are in right now and with Udrih that will score his and Evans that should be back, Kings will score 105 - 109 points tonight I believe. I can add that Kings shot 102 points in Dallas this season already, so that adds optimism. 117 - 108 to the Dallas Mavericks is my projected score, but I will prefer the Kings Over instead of Over in general or Dallas -5. Don't know why, just the bet I feel most comfortable with.



Pick: Kings Over 100.5 points - 1.83 - 2.5 units play - Bet365
