Another Away Victory for Cavaliers

Cavaliers are flying high at the top of the Eastern Conference after racking up 44 wins. Cleveland are looking for their 45th victory of the campaign when they make the trip to Barclays Center to face Brooklyn.

Since the Boston Celtics defeat at the start of the month, Kenny Atkinson’s boys have bounced back with consecutive wins over Detroit Pistons, Washington Wizards, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Toronto Raptors.

Brooklyn have been in good form in February, winning five of six, but our money is going on Cleveland here. Back Cavaliers to win -12.5 at 1.83.

Knicks to Claim Routine Home Win

Knicks take on Bulls in a tasty-looking fixture at Madison Square Garden this week. These are two of the biggest names in NBA, but who will come out on top in the Big Apple?

New York’s form has been hot and cold lately, but Tom Thibodeau’s troops have won four of their last five. Last time out in the Garden, Knicks edged past Atlanta Hawks by a point.

Chicago head to New York City on a four-game losing streak, and the hosts will be tough to topple. Take a punt on Knicks to win -9.5 at 1.59.

Lakers to Leave Oregon with a Win

Trail Blazers and LA Lakers lock horns this week at Moda Center in Oregon. After six straight wins, Portland have lost three on the bounce. Can the hosts get back to winning ways here?

Lakers are in similar form, winning six on the trot before back-to-back losses to Utah Jazz and Charlotte Hornets. They are looking to secure their first away victory since a 122-97 success at Los Angeles Clippers on February 4th.

Both sides are desperate for a win, but LA are the slight favourites. We are siding with the away win at 1.64.
