Betting Lines: Golden State Warriors (-5.5) vs. Charlotte Bobcats (O/U: 195)
Game time: 10:00 a.m. AEDT

Cats are dogs by 5.5 points at home? The books are severely underrating Charlotte here. The Warriors are the better team but these cats should challenge them all the way. Moreover, the Bobcats have lost 14 straight against West teams this season… A stat that is worthy of whiteboard material in Charlotte’s locke room.

Yes, Stephen Curry (22.5 PPG and 8.9 APG) and Klay Thompson (20.9 PPG) are tough covers but the Bobcats can do some damage with Al Jefferson (15.9 PPG and 9.1 RPG) too…

Pick: Warriors ATS, Under 195
Prediction: Golden State Warriors 98, Charlotte Bobcats 94

Game time: 10:00 a.m. AEDT

Same with the Bobcats, the books are not paying attention much to the Wizards, which have won five of their last seven games. This basically shows that they have been competitive in recent weeks. The two losses came against the Indiana Pacers (expected) and an OT home loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

It’s going to be a sweet battle between the league’s rising point guards in Ty Lawson and John Wall and the latter always plays against “premier” PGs in the NBA.
