Boom Best
Dallas -10 v Houston ($1.88)
Dallas are a far superior team and should be able to roll through a very poor Houston outfit. Dallas have covered 14 of 20 overall and 12 of 17 off scoring 100-plus. They’ve covered seven of 10 home games. Houston have failed to cover five straight road games and just one of eight off a double digit loss.

Boom Outsider
Detroit ($2.65) v Atlanta
Detroit are huge overs in this and probably should be favourites. They have covered 13 of 16 overall and 13 of 16 as an underdog so the market is clearly undervaluing them. Atlanta have covered just 1 of 12 as a favourite and just 1 of 7 road games. The Pistons are a great play.

Boom Total
Over 224.5 New York at Charlotte ($1.88)
Both the Knicks and Hornets have been flying over the total of late and this line looks far too low. The over is 13-5 when the Knicks are an underdog, 10-2 when they are off a loss and 8-3 after they have allowed 100-plus. The over has hit in four of five Hornets games with the over 6-2 off a Charlotte win and 6-1 when they are favoured.
