The NBA season is a week away from the all-star break and teams are looking to make a statement before the start of the second half of the season. There is a relatively light schedule for February 5 with the Cavaliers hosting the Kings in the featured matchup.
Sacramento Kings versus Cleveland Cavaliers
Both teams are in good playoff position in their respective conference. Cleveland is fourth in the Eastern Conference and Sacramento is fifth in the Western Conference. The Cavaliers have won five of their last six games and “burning hot” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The teams have been trending in games on opposite sides of the line. The score prediction has Cleveland by 12 points with 73 percent confidence. Cleveland is 17-8 at home and Sacramento is a respectable 13-11 on the road. The Kings won the first meeting between the teams this season by 12 points at home. I like Cleveland to even the score but will pass on the over/under bet.
Los Angeles Lakers versus Charlotte Hornets
The Lakers come in ninth in the Western Conference and the Hornets are third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. Los Angeles is “average” versus “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +13 to 0 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been trending in games “over” the line with a score prediction of 122-111 in favor of the Lakers with 73 percent confidence. Los Angeles won the first meeting between the teams this season in a 21-point blowout. Charlotte has been one of the most consistent teams this season with regards to their favorite/underdog status. I like the Lakers by double-digits in a game “over” the line.
Los Angeles Clippers versus Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta is on the outside of the playoff picture looking in and the Clippers are third in the Western Conference. Los Angeles is “burning hot” after going 8-2 over the last ten games, while Atlanta is 5-5 over the same stretch. The teams have been trending in games on opposite sides of the “over/under” line and the score prediction is for Atlanta to win by three with 70 percent confidence. The Clippers road record of 12-11 is better than the Hawks home record of 10-13. Los Angeles has a decided edge of +23 to +10 on the Power Ranks Indicator. I see the Clippers winning by six to 10 points in a game “over” the line.
Golden State Warriors versus Brooklyn Nets
Neither team is playing their best basketball, coming in a combined 4-8 over the last 12 games. Golden State is 12th in the Western Conference and Brooklyn is 11th in the Eastern Conference. The Warriors have a +9 to +5 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The Warriors won by four points at home in the first game between the teams this season. The score prediction is for Brooklyn to even the season series with a 117-111 win with about 68 percent confidence. Note that Brooklyn is a game under .500 at home and Golden State is 7-11 on the road. The teams are trending in games “over” the line. I like Golden State by four to six points in a game “over” the line.
