NBA 2017-18

Toronto Raptors - Washington Wizards

PICK: OVER (213) @1.952 10/10

Both teams have a great players who can score. Raptors are a good defensive team but they often plays like their opponents let them play. In this match these players like Derozan or Lowry would have a lot of space against Wizards because they are not so great in defense. Lately Wizards played with a lot of teams that are not so good in offense. One of the main reason that I believe Washington will end their under total loosing streak because of the last game against Heat they score only 29 points in 1st half and finished only with 88 points. Time to shine in offense for Wizards but Raptors are not the Heat, Kings or Lakers who have young players and still developing their team.

Anyone have highlights of this night?

Finally Cavs played as they must. They won by 28 points.

Lakers at home are a different team. I would say they can reach 0.500 or even higher and the Bulls team are just bad, they will be bad all season. For now they got no energy on the court to winning games. All in all Lakers -5.5 looks pretty decent

Do you have any thoughts about the game between Lakers and Bulls tonight?

PICK: LOS ANGELES LAKERS (-5.5) @1.900 8/10
It's not the prettiest handicap, but Lakers this season will be a potential 0.500 team at home, while Bulls will hardly reach 0.200. The only thing Bulls fan can enjoy is rookie Markkanen. Starters Lopez and Holiday can have some nice episodes, but despite that players are below league's average. 3 injured players: Lavine, Payne, Nwaba for a weak roster doesn't help either. Another player who had to be a starter, but unable to help the team - N. Mirotic. So far Bulls have 3w11l and all wins are against Eastern conference teams. Bulls are losing on a average margin of 11.9 points for teams that are above league's average defensive rating, for Top5 23,5.

You would not believe that, but Lakers are currently 4th on the defensive end, and they are sharing almost the same defensive rating with teams like: Spurs, Warriors or Thunder. Of course they are struggling offensively, but Bulls on the Last 5 games are 29th at defensive rating.

Kuzma, Ingram, Randle, Lopez, Clarkson - all are able to play 1vs1 and with so many talents they are miles ahead Bulls. L. Ball doesn't have a lot to offer on the offensive end, but his defense pays off: pbs-twimg-com/media/DPFV8U1VwAAhrNf-jpg (the higher, the better the defense). Apart L. Nance injury Lakers look healthy and if we will see 50% of what we saw against Denver this handicap should not be a problem

Do you think Thunder will have a chance against GSW tonight?
