NBA Picks February 6: Clippers Versus Nets Headline Action

The NBA season is near the All-Star break and teams are jockeying for position for a second-half playoff push. There are several key games scheduled for February 6 with the Nets hosting the Clippers highlighting play.

Los Angeles Clippers versus Brooklyn Nets

The Nets enter 4th in the Eastern Conference and the Clippers are 5th in the Western Conference. Both teams are coming off a loss and the Clippers are “average” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Nets have a +27 to +20 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. Both teams are trending in games “over” the line and the Score Predictor likes the Nets by a 119-112 score with 61 percent confidence. Brooklyn won by 15 as a road underdog in the first meeting between the teams. I like the Clippers evening the score in this one in a game “over” the line.

Dallas Mavericks versus Utah Jazz

Dallas is in the in middle of the Western Conference playoff picture while Utah is 7th in the conference. Both teams are “burning hot” having won two of their last three games. Dallas has a +22 to +13 advantage on the Power Ranks Indicator. The Mavericks have played in games “under” the line in their last five, while the Jazz have been under in three and over in three of the last six. The Score Predictor likes Dallas by a 116-114 score with 65 percent confidence. Dallas has won two of the three meetings between the teams this season. The Jazz have been inconsistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status, but the Mavericks have been very stable. I like Dallas to win by a few points but pass on the over/under bet.

Milwaukee Bucks versus Portland Trailblazers

Milwaukee is two games behind Boston for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Portland is in 11th and needs to pick up the pace in the Western Conference. The Bucks have won six straight and Portland has won four of their last five. Both are “burning hot” and the Bucks have a +28 to +10 advantage on the Power Ranks Indicator. Milwaukee won the first game between the teams this season at home by eight points, and the Score Predictor has Portland winning this one by a score of 124-112 with 67 percent confidence. I like Portland to edge Milwaukee at home, but pass on the over/under bet.

Oklahoma City Thunder versus Golden State Warriors

Oklahoma City is near the bottom of the Western Conference and Golden State is 10th in the conference with a .500 record. Both teams have lost their last two and the Warriors are “average down” versus “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The teams have dropped on the Power Ranks Indicator with the Warriors holding a +15 to +8 edge. With the confidence of a toss of a coin, the Score Predictor has the Warriors by a 119-106 score. The Thunder are relatively inconsistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. The Warriors took the first game between the teams by a score of 128-120. I like a similar outcome in a game “over” the line.
