Before we dive into picks, props and leans for this evening, let s take a look at a few noteworthy trends heading into the second half of the season.
Can the Utah Jazz keep up their record-setting pace?
Heading into their first action of the second half on Friday, Utah is 27-9 overall on the season, including a terrific 25-11-0 (69.4%) against the spread. From January 8 through the middle of February, they were literally the best team in the last 31 years against the spread going 20-1-0 ATS.

Taco Tuesday brings us a nine-game NBA slate, and we are starting to see a bit of fatigue set in with some of the teams around the league. Since the Cavaliers back-to-back wins over the Nets, they have gone 2–14 and are on a 10-game losing streak. They ve also gone 0–12 against the spread (ATS). Yikes.
The Pistons and Magic are playing tonight, and while the total is currently 210, one of these teams will not get to 100 points.
Additionally, the Knicks host the Warriors tonight in the world s most famous arena, and for the first time this season Madison Square Garden will allow fans in the building. It will be interesting to see how the New York fans will take to this team. Tonight could be electric.
