Top Games to Bet On

Los Angeles Lakers vs Washington Wizards (7:00 PM ET)

The Los Angeles Lakers will look to extend their three-game winning streak as they head to the nation’s capital to face the Washington Wizards. [sc:NBA240banner ]

The Lakers have returned to .500, thanks in large part to their second unit, which is scoring an NBA-best 46 points/game. Free agent pickups Nick Young and Xavier Henry in particular have been instrumental coming off the bench; at least one of the pair has scored over 15 points in the last five games. The Lakers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Odds: Lakers (+4.5) vs Wizards (-4.5); O/U: 197.5

They face the Wizards, who have won three of their last four games. Big things were expected for the backcourt duo of John Wall and Bradley Beal, and they are starting to deliver. Wall has exploded for 31 and 37 points in his last two games, while Beal scored 25+ points in the three games prior. However, Beal may miss some games with a leg injury, which could be a big blow to Washington. The Wizards are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games.

Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans (8:00 PM ET)

The Golden State Warriors hope to snap a three-game losing skid on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Not coincidentally, the Warriors have missed key personnel during their losing streak. Steph Curry missed the losses to the Grizzlies and Lakers due to a concussion while Andre Iguodala missed the Blazers game with a hamstring injury. Harrison Barnes returned to the starting line-up with the absence of Curry and Iguodala, and has averaged 16 points as a starter. The Warriors are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings in New Orleans.

Odds: Warriors (-3) vs Pelicans (+3); O/U: 203.5

The Pelicans had their three-game winning streak snapped by the Spurs last night as they dropped below .500 once again. Anthony Davis has been the early breakout star, but the Pelicans’ win streak began with the return of sharpshooting big man Ryan Anderson. In four games back, Anderson is averaging 19 points/game with 14 made three-pointers. The Over is 5-0 in the Pelicans’ last 5 overall.
