Game by game...

BOS/WSH - As Jajin mentioned, this is a look forward game for the Celtics who play to win every game. That means they will save energy and minutes to play better against the better team in New Orleans. Value is on Washington +10 and even a small play at +500 should be considered. The total is out of play for this game.

CHA/DAL - Charlotte spent some time on the underrated list but now they have blown up their team and it will take a while to get the new players integrated. People can be excited about what they are doing, but certainly it will have a negative effect on tonight's game. The problem is that there is simply no value in the spread for Dallas when the highly technical border of 10.5 is crossed. Only value here exists with Charlotte +13.5 but it is small and variance is high so I would suggest no bet or a firm middle opportunity. Jajin might consider a middle if Charlotte +14 comes to hedge against his Dallas -12.

POR/UTA - This is simply a bad line. The only reason Utah is favored here is because they are at home and at best this should be a PICKEM game. Portland is better than Utah at every position except PG and Williams is not on top of his game yet. I like UNDER 194 and POR +124.
