Tuesday Night NBA - Part Two

By Divol

Houston Rockets v Utah Jazz



17th February 01:35 GMT

Well this is not the surest bet but has still got value in my eyes.

Utah are a poor road team. It's true that the home loss to the Lakers stopped their 13 - 1 run, but in those games they had only 4 road games. Losing one to Denver, beating Spurs who they owned this season, the depleted Portland and the Clippers (that everyone beats this winter). They are still a 10 - 12 road team that has another tough game tomorrow on the road against the Hornets.

Rockets are on a small slump right now on the other hand. Three wins in their last nine games, winning only two of their last seven home games. Still, having said that the Rockets have been home dogs only four times this season. Winning all four games ATS and winning three of the four games SU.

I honestly don't know who will win it but Rockets at home as dogs? I see clear value here, since I believe that a good home team will win more times than lose in such situations.

Sacramento Kings v Boston Celtics



17th February 03:05 GMT

Kings and first half Over has been good money this season and this is a very good chance to make some more again. Kings don't have the power to stop Boston from scoring, with KG, Perkins, Pierce, all much stronger than their opposite player. However I doubt we will see Boston bring their A defense today. Kings are too nice of a team for Boston to come that strong off a break. I can see them perhaps lock the defense in the 4th, but it should be pretty fast pace in the first minutes.

I can easily see the Kings even lead here by 3 - 5 points at HT, but the total should be much easier money today.



Pick: Over 102.5 in 1st half, 1.91 - 2.5 units play - Bet365
