NBA Picks February 13: Knicks Host Nets in Featured Game

The NBA trade deadline has come and gone and teams have made moves to make a push after the upcoming All-Star break. Let’s take a look at some games for February 13 with the Nets versus Knicks headlining the action.

Brooklyn Nets versus New York Knicks

Both teams are in the middle of the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Knicks are “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +22 on the Power Ranks Indicator, while the Nets are “average” and +21, respectively. The teams are both 3-3 over their last six and are trending on opposite sides of the over/under line. The Score Predictor has Brooklyn by a 111-110 score with 67 percent confidence in the prediction. The Nets have won the previous two meetings between the teams this season. I expected the Knicks to bounce back in this one. Go with the Knicks in a game “over” the line.

Minnesota Timberwolves versus Dallas Mavericks

Dallas enters the game “burning hot”, winners of five of their last six, while Minnesota is “average down” after going 3-3 in their last six. The Mavericks have a +25 to +11 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. Minnesota has been involved in games “over” the line in five of their last six, and the Score Predictor has Dallas by a comfortable 120-108 score with 44 percent confidence. The teams split the previous two games this season, both in Minnesota. Be aware that Dallas is much more consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like Dallas at home by double digits in a game “over” the line.

Washington Wizards versus Golden State Warriors

Both teams come into play 3-3 over their last six games. Golden State is “average down” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +19 to +4 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been trending in games on opposite sides of the over/under line, and the Score Predictor likes Golden State by a 123-113 score with 76 percent confidence. The Warriors won the previous meeting between the teams by nine on the road. I like a similar outcome this time. Go with Golden State in a game “over” the line.

Denver Nuggets versus Miami Heat

Miami comes into the contest on a two-game winning streak and the Nuggets are 4-2 over their last six games. Miami is “burning hot” versus “average” and Denver is +26 versus +18 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The Nuggets have been involved in games “over” the line in five of their last six, and the Score Predictor likes Miami by a 112-104 margin with about 50 percent confidence. The Team Volatility Oscillator shows both teams are very stable. Denver won the first game between the teams this season by five points as a home favorite. I like Miami to return the favor in this one, but pass on the over/under bet.
