NBA Thursday Night!!!

Not a great year in the NBA for me. My Top Play totals have still been doing well. S,mall card tonight.

TOP PLAYS

3 UNIT PLAYS

Miami/ Portland Over 197: 6 of the last 7 meeting in Portland have gone over the total, with 3 of the last 4 meetings there having put up 200+ points. Miami comes in as the highest scoring team in the NBA at 103.7 ppg and that includes averaging 106.9 ppg in their last 8 games, plus the Heat have averaged a solid 102.9 ppg on the road this year. Portland has upped their tempo this year, especially at home where they have averaged 104.8 ppg on 47.45 shooting and they did just stick 137 pouints on a solid Spurs quad on this floor a couple of games ago. This game will be on TNT and both teams will look to put on a good show. Miami is fresher and should have a good offensive showing vs a solid Portland defense, while the Blazers should get their offense going vs a Miami team that has allowed 96.8 ppg on the road. This will be fun to watch.

LA Clippers -3.5 over Sacramento: The other night the Clippers had a flat game vs the Twolves and it was expected after their two superstars participated in the All-Star game, but now with a day off and a bit more focus they should be ready to get back to winning as they make their push for a solid seeding in the NBA Playoffs. The Kings have done pretty well at home (8-5), but the Cliipers have gone 8-7 on the road this year. Both teams are playing on 1 days rest, but I feel that the Clippers will be a bit more focused here after their big home loss to the TWolves in their last game.   

OTHER PLAY

2 UNIT PLAY

Orlando/ Oklahoma City Over 192: Google News Play. The Thunder are one of the highest scoring teams in the NBA as they come in averaging 102.4 ppg overall and 107.2 ppg in their last 5 games, despite putting up just 92 points at Philly last night. Orlando is not a great scoring team, but they do score 95.9 ppg at home and they shoot a lot of threes with good results as they have hit 39.1 % of their long range shots at home this year. The Thunder has been a decent team on defense this year as they have allowed 96 ppg overall, but on the road thy have allowed 97.4 ppg and in their last 5 overall they have allowed 97.6 ppg and that should allow an average Orlando Offense to put up at least 96 points in this one. Now despite an Orlando team that has played solid defense this year, they should still have some problems with this hot Oklahoma City offense that should also be good for about 96 points as well. Both teams should hit at least 96 points in this one and we should get a game in the high 190's here.
