Boston Celtics at Philadelphia 76ers - Over 191 points @ 1.91 (Unibet) These two teams last met in December 2010 and it finished 84-80 in Boston's favour but there should be a very different outcome here. In the last 5 games, both teams have been averaging over 100 points in offense (Boston - 104.2 points, Philadelphia - 108.8 points) and also giving up high amounts (Boston - 99.8 points, Philadelphia - 105.6 points). Although helped by two games that went into OT, Philadelphiagone over in 5 of their last 6 home games and Boston have gone over in 5 of their last 6 games. Both are shooting very well and playing very efficiently offensively lately, and it would be expected that they reach over 90 points each. With the form these two teams are in of late, I expect the total to go over here.

Re: NBA - 11th March Picks Celtics to win @ 76ers. 1.85 @ Pinnacle (8/10) Celtics were humiliated at home in their last match losing to Clippers. Boston very rarely loses two in a row, so I naturally expect a good performance from them and 1.85 odds are so good that you really can't pass them on. Boston is a quality team and despite the fact that Philly is playing very good at home, I still believe Boston will have an edge here, maybe by a single point, but will win. Boston has won both meetings this season by slim margins, 1 and 4 points. And they are 7-0 in Philly since the Big 3 started playing together, so the stats are encouraging here. Nets vs Clippers. Over 192 points. 1.80 @ Bet365 (10/10) This obviously is too short for total points. Nets is know for its defense but it will have tough time guarding Blake inside the paint and Jordan for that matter, too. Mo Williams is doing great job with this young Clippers team which comes to NJ on the back of a win against Celtics in Boston. I think this match can go slightly over 200 points in total and 192 is definitely a bit short for me, as I said already. They last played In November, Nets won in LA 110-96. Home team would be my pick for a winner here, too, though sticking with overs, because feel like they have a very good chance of working out. Trail Blazers -4 AH @ Bobcats. 1.83 @ Bet365 (10/10) This will be an emotional home comming for Gerald Wallace who spent seven years with Bobcats. Charlotte has struggled big time since trading him away to Portland. Bobcats have lost six in a row and one of those defeats came 6 days ago in the hand of Portland (69-93 in Portland). Trail Blazers are on a four game winning streak which inculdes wins against teams like Magic and Heat. Getting another one over Bobcats should not be a problem for them. Bobcats are awdul in offense and Portland on the other hand ar very good defensively. I can see this match going only in one direction. Portland should be able to win comfortably. Magic -4 AH @ Warriors. 1.83 @ Bet365 (10/10) Magic are better team there's no discussion really regarding this matter. And I strongly believe they can win this one by 4 points. Howard will dominate the boards, because Warriors don't have a center and Orlando also can outshoot Warriors from the 3pt line. All in all Magic have an advantage in scoring and also defensive options, backing them to win and taking handicap.
