New Orleans 34-44#10 San Antonio 33-45#11 LA Lakers 31-47 Papa Dudes Best Bets for the NBA Today Atlanta 41-37 at Toronto 45-33 (-1.5): This is a game with huge playoff ramifications for the upcoming playoffs. The Hawks are playing well and are in 8th place, but mathematically could still finish 5th. On the down side, they could fall all the way to 10th. Meanwhile, Toronto is tied for 5th place and are trying to avoid dropping into a Play-In position. The stakes are high in this game in Canada. Atlanta is not a good road team, and this will be a tough place to pull out a win, even though they have won 5 in a row. The Raptors are the choice for me to cover this reasonable spread. PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Toronto -1.5 *PAPA DUDES UPSET SPECIAL* Memphis 55-23 at Utah 46-32 (-5.5): I’m surprised to see Memphis as the underdog and especially by 5.5-points. They are going to be tough to handle in the upcoming playoffs, and are far and away the superior team in this matchup with the Jazz. The worry I have will be the Grizzlies’ motivation. They are locked in as the #2 seed in the West for the upcoming playoffs, no matter what happens in the remaining four games. On the other hand, Utah is in a fight to stay out of having to participate in a potential Play-In game. They also could move up as high as 5th in the seeding. Thus, the game means a whole lot more to the Jazz. They might win, but I’m not sure they cover. PAPA DUDES UPSET PICK: Memphis +5.5 4-Team Parlay: We are going with 3 upsets and 1 favorite tonight. Leg 1: Houston at Brooklyn -17: Bet Houston +17 Leg 2: Milwaukee (-5.5) at Chicago: Bet Chicago +5.5 Leg 3: Memphis at Utah (-5.5): Bet Memphis +5.5 Leg 4: Charlotte at Miami (-5.5): Bet the MoneyLine on Miami -220 Bet $10 for a Payout of $91.21
