The NBA regular season is down to a handful of games per team and playoff positions are taking shape. There are a few key games on May 9 with the Suns and Lakers headlining the action.
Phoenix Suns versus Los Angeles Lakers
Phoenix is 2nd in the Western Conference and the Lakers are 6th. Phoenix has a +29 to +15 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Totals Predictor indicates both teams have been trending “over” so betting “over” is a smart play in this game. The teams have split the meetings between them this season. The Scores Predictor has the Suns winning by seven points with 78 percent confidence. Both teams have been very stable, according to the Team Volatility Oscillator. Look for the Suns to win on the road and cover.
Miami Heat versus Boston Celtics
The teams are battling at the 6th spot in the Eastern Conference. Boston is “burning hot” and +12 on the Power Ranking Indicator, while the Heat is “average down” and +19. Boston won the last meeting between the teams by two points as a road underdog. The Scores Predictor has the Heat by five points with 60 percent confidence. Expect a high-scoring contest, so betting “over” is the wise play. Boston is +14 on the Team Volatility Oscillator and the Heat is +12, indicating good stability. I expect the Heat to come away with a very narrow victory, even less than the five that the Scores Predictor forecasts.
Dallas Mavericks versus Cleveland Cavaliers
Dallas is looking to secure a playoff spot and the Cavaliers are among the worst teams in the NBA this season. Dallas has a +18 to +2 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and the Cavaliers are “average” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Despite the records of the teams, Cleveland is predicted to win by a 103-100 score with 73 percent confidence. The teams have been trending “over”, so expect a higher scoring game. The Cavaliers have been more consistently performing according to their favorite/underdog status. Ride with the Scores Predictor. In an upset, go for the Cavaliers to come away with the win.
Chicago Bulls versus Detroit Pistons
Both teams are on the outside of the playoff picture looking in and playing for pride. Chicago has a +6 to +1 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and both teams are “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Scores Predictor has the Pistons by the score of 99-95 with 58 percent confidence. The total falls in line with the Totals Predictor showing both teams trending “under”. Although both teams have been poor, they are consistently performing according to their favorite/underdog status. That trend should continue with a win and cover for the Pistons.
Oklahoma City Thunder versus Sacramento Kings
In another game with both teams out of the playoff picture, the Thunder and the Kings are both “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Sacramento has a +14 to +5 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. In the last meeting on May 4, the Thunder won by four points as a road favorite. The Scores Predictor shows a three-point spread in favor of the Kings with a confidence of 61 percent. Oklahoma City has been extremely stable at +31 and as a likely road underdog, go with the Kings to win at home and cover.
