New Orleans Hornets v Washington Wizards



1st April 00:05 GMT

I took the Over in the last NO game but I have to admit I had a lot of luck to get that Over and it was an Under game (should have ended 4 - 5 points Under the total). Wizards flirted with the Over a bit getting their first Over after six straight Under, but it's time to get once again I believe on Wizards Under train.

198 total and a 10 point line means that the bookies see 94 - 104 as fair result. While I can agree that the Hornets maybe worth 100+ points at home, I can see Wizards as a 90+ points team. Wizards scored 90+ points in two of their last 9 games. One was the only Over during that period and the second was against the Lakers, but that's after Lakers allowed them to score 32 points in the 4th quarter. I believe that 101 - 87 is the correct result and since it's 10 points Under the total and only 4 points over the line for the Hornets and we have Bavetta as a ref, I prefer to take my chances on the Under for medium play.



Pick: Under 198.5 points, 1.91 odds - 3 units play - Bet365


Minnesota Timberwolves v Sacramento Kings



1st April 00:05 GMT

I have had terrible luck betting Kings 1st half Over. They have around 80% Over in the 1st half but I just stuck around 50% betting on their games and Over 1st half. Still, a quick look at the three previous games between the teams shows us that two of the three games had first half Over and that each time, the total snapped Wolves totals run (Under or Over). This time Wolves come off two Over results, I will take the Over for the 1st half without explaining yet again why I love first half Over bets on the Kings.



Pick: Over 104.5 points first half, 1.91 - 2.5 units play - Betfred
