San Antonio Spurs vs Utah Jazz
- Time: Thursday, February 25, 2016 10:30 PM ET
- Place: EnergySolutions Arena
Bet on the Spurs
San Antonio has won the first two meetings between these two by a combined 62 points while shooting 58.4 percent from the field and 18 of 42 from beyond the arc.
Kawhi Leonard led the Spurs with 22 points, while LaMarcus Aldridge and Tony Parker put up 18 each in a 118-81 home win on December 14th. Parker also scored 23 points while Leonard added 18 in their 108-92 victory at Sacramento on Wednesday. This makes it three in a row for the Spurs and five of six on an eight-game road stretch.
Bet on the Jazz
The Jazz are solid at home playing a defensive structure that’s hard to score against and that has taken them on a seven-game winning streak and the last Western Conference playoff spot.
Though the Jazz has kept opponents to 40.8 percent shooting following Tuesday's 117-114 overtime victory, their defense will be tested against the prolific San Antonio Spurs offense.
Utah also hasn't won eight straight at home since April of 2010 when they went on a 10-game run.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs New Orleans Pelicans
- Time: Thursday, February 25, 2016 8:00 PM ET
- Place: Smoothie King Center
Bet on the Thunder
After beating the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, the Thunder now take on the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center. The win came at the right time, after having gone through a loss against the Cavaliers 115-92 at home.
Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant finally picked up the slack and managed to put up a combined 48 points which gave the team a huge confidence boost that led a total of six players to score in the double digits.
They’ve also fared extremely well against the Pelicans, having defeated them both times they’ve met this season by an average of 16.5 points.
Durant and Westbrook will once again lead the attack. The pairing have combined to a lethal combination of strength on offense that might be too much for the Pelicans to stop.
Bet on the Pelicans
The Pelicans were slapped in the face on Tuesday, losing to the Washington Wizards by 20 points. This puts them in the ninth position in the Western Conference standing and six games behind Utah.
Power forward Anthony Davis will need to get back on track if he’s to lead this team to victory over the Thunder. Davis has struggled in his last few games, scoring just nine points in their defeat against Wizards.
But their greatest lacking is on defense and Russell and Westbrook will definitely make them suffer if they can’t get their ship in order before tip off tonight. The last time these two met, Oklahoma lit them up for 121 points against 95.

Golden State Warriors vs Orlando Magic
- Time: Thursday, February 25, 2016 7:00 PM ET
- Place: Amway Center
Bet on the Warriors
Not enough can be said about the Warriors. The Warriors average an incredible 115.1 points per game to lead the league and put up the 100-point mark for the 15th straight time in Wednesday's 118-112 victory at Miami.
Curry ended with 42 points after scoring a 3-pointer with 38 seconds left and hitting his free throws with 18.5 seconds remaining on the clock. Thompson put up 33 for the defending NBA champions, who are just one game ahead of the pace of the record 72-win of Jordan’s 1995-96 Bulls.
Bet on the Magic
Though having accomplished some success in the past two months, the Magic might be stopped cold by the Warriors tonight, especially considering that they’re up against Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, who will undoubtedly light up the scoreboard with three-pointer after three-pointer.
The Magic have won four of their last six, which puts them in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, 3 1/2 games behind Charlotte for the final playoff berth. Their only defeats in that stretch are by a combined five points to San Antonio and Indiana.
Nikola Vucevic scored a season-high 35 points in Tuesday’s win, followed by Victor Oladipo who put up 22 and Evan Fournier who added 21 more.
The Magic do not want to get into a shootout against the Warriors and they’ll be looking to put a lid on Curry and Thompson however hard a task that is.
Betting Trends:
- Golden State is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games
- Golden State is 14-1 SU in its last 15 games
- Golden State is 6-13-1 ATS in its last 20 games when playing on the road against Orlando

Free Pick: It’s the Warriors all the way again, though the Magic will put up a great game. Take Golden State SU.
