Now, let’s give our top predictions…</p> <ul> <li><strong>Cavs vs Bucks</strong> - Cavs to win as they’ve won the last five meetings, including all four last season.<strong> The points margin </strong>could be worth backing at<strong> 10+</strong>, as the last two exceeded this total.</li> <li><strong>Heat vs Knicks</strong> - Knicks have won six of the last eight meetings, so we predict this trend to continue. Expect a close game,<strong> so backing the Heat to cover the spread</strong> could be a good bet.</li> <li><strong>Mavs vs OKC</strong> - Toss-up between two teams that go back-and-forth in terms of results. The Mavs have won the last three; <strong>OKC to cover the handicap</strong> should provide value in this one.</li> <li><strong>GSW vs Clippers - Clippers to continue win streak</strong> over Clippers; currently enjoying eight consecutive wins (excluding recent preseason victory);<strong> Kawhi Leonard</strong> to score 25+ points could be worth value, as he averages 28 when the two teams play.</li> </ul>
