Chicago - Atlanta

Chicago is chasing the last eight spot in Easter Conference in order to catch a place that will bring playoff this season. On many people’s surprise Atlanta is holding that eight spot with three wins more that Chicago, but Chicago is still hoping that they can catch that position.

Atlanta is playing great lately, especially in the offensive part scoring almost 110 points per game in their last 5 matches where they recorder four wins. On the other hand, Chicago is playing bad, losing 4 from their last five matches and lost last two at home. Last match they lost from Indiana at home and that loss hurt them badly. Indiana is also contender for that eight place and Chicago allowed to lose at home from direct contender. This is similar match to that and I believe that Chicago will not allow one more loss at home from direct contender for the playoff.

Chicago is playing poor in last quarter of the match and there they are losing the matches. The coach and the players are aware of that and they will try not to allow to happen that tonight too. Chicago managed to beat Atlanta in last 6 meetings played in Chicago and despite the poor form of the home team, I believe that Chicago is better team and I expect tonight against Atlanta to start their final attack on last playoff spot.

Pick: Chicago ML --> Odds: 1.64 @ Pinnacle --> Stake: 5u

Dallas - LA Clippers
(-13.5) : (+13.5)

In my opinion Dallas made huge mistake with the trade that they lost many young and solid players just to bring old and not that good now Jason Kidd. With him in the team, Dallas is not having good score and have difficulties in the attack. Harris was better solution in my eyes because his drive ins created many free shots for his players. Kidd is without a doubt great player, but his time has past and he cannot be a leader in this team. Now with the injury of Dirk Nowitzki the alpha and omega in the team, Dallas lost at least 50% of their strengths.

Clippers are one poor team this season and despite the absence of Dirk Nowitzki, they do not have chances to win this match. They have a lot of injured players too Brand, P. Davis, Kaman, Knight, Thomas... and they lost 16 from last 19 matches that they played in Dallas.

Dallas won both played matches so far, at home with 13 points difference and away with only one point. Now without Dirk and with Kidd who is not playing well as it was expected, I do not believe that Dallas will manage to win with 12 points difference, but their win is not questionable.
