The Denver Nuggets host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night in what should be an entertaining affair. Oklahoma City has scored 110.6 points per game in their last eight meetings with Denver, while the Nuggets have countered with an average of 108.0 points in those eight games.
Minnesota started off really strongly but has been slumping over the last three weeks. As a result they have dropped to 4th in the Northwest Division standings.
Los Angeles vs Atlanta NBA Picks
Kobe Bryant is back but the Lakers have only won one of the 4 games since his return. It was the last one so maybe they are getting used to having him back in the lineup, though I doubt it because he has looked pretty off playing more of a distributor role than scorer.
The Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers will face off on Friday night in a battle of teams whose records would indicate they are out of contention, but the reality is these teams are still very much in the thick of things in the Atlantic Division.
The Houston Rockets arrive in Oakland on Friday, leading the NBA in scoring and looking to beat the Warriors for the second time this season.
Once upon a time, the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder would have been a Western Conference Finals dream.
Doc Rivers will have somewhat of a reunion on Thursday when his Clippers arrive in Brooklyn to visit Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and the Nets.
As we approach the quarter mark of the 2013-14 NBA season, the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets have surprised people across the league.
The New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls will face off in a nationally televised game in prime time on Wednesday night. The Bulls have won nine of the last 10 meetings between these teams, including each of the last six meetings.
The NBA regular season presses on into the month of December and while there is a full slate of interesting matchups on this Wednesday’s schedule of games, I have dug up a pair of gems that come together perfectly to form this week’s ‘NBA Wednesday Parlay’ play. [ad-4468020]
The following is a brief look at both games based on lines by [dfads params=’groups=63740&limit=1&return_javascript=0′].

The Magic come into this Southeast Division clash with a six-game losing streak that has dropped them to just 6-15 straight-up on the year.
They have gone 2-3-1 against the spread during this current slide.
This will be the final stop in a brutal six-game road trip so you have to believe that Orlando has already turned its attention to Friday night’s home game against Cleveland.
Charlotte has won its last two games to pull within one victory of reaching the .500 mark at 10-11 SU. It has covered the spread in its last five games to improve to 13-7-1 ATS on the year.
The Bobcats have covered in their last three home games and in this matchup they have won four of the last six meetings SU.
They will not blow a golden opportunity to take full advantage of the road weary Magic on Wednesday night with a win at home that covers the spread.

Pointspread- Golden State -6
Total Line- 209.5
ATS Matchup Stats | NFL Gambling Insight!
Dallas is coming off an ugly 112-97 loss to Sacramento on the road this past Monday night as a 4.5-point favorite. It is now 4-5 SU in its last nine games and a costly 2-6 ATS in its last eight outings.
The Mavericks are 13-9 SU on the year with a 10-11-1 record ATS.
They are 4-7 SU on the road this season and this will be their third road game in five nights before returning home for three straight games starting this upcoming Saturday night.
The Warriors lost to Dallas 103-99 on Nov. 27 as 4.5-point road underdogs, but they are in excellent position to avenge that defeat come Wednesday night.
Golden State is 12-10 SU overall with a healthy 6-2 SU record at home. It returns home from a three-game road trip and coming off a 115-111 loss to Charlotte as a six-point road favorite this past Monday.
While both of these teams’ current form leaves much to be desired, the home court edge looms big in this matchup.
Look for the Warriors to right the ship on Wednesday night by covering the spread to secure the back-end of this week’s NBA Wednesday Parlay.
For me Dallas is one of the most surprising teams in the NBA so far this season. Before the season started I thought they would be pretty awful but they are right there in the middle of the Western Conference.
Kobe Bryant is back, but the Los Angeles Lakers have a ways to go before we consider them contenders. The Phoenix Suns will put that notion to the test Tuesday night when they enter the Staples Center looking for their 12th win of the 2013-14 NBA season.
The defending champion Miami Heat roll into Indianapolis on Tuesday looking to extend their current three-game winning streak against the Pacers who have dropped two of their last four.
The Washington Wizards look to continue their turnaround against a streaking Denver Nuggets team that will make the trip out to the Verizon Center for a clash on Monday night.
The Magic are in last place in the Southeast Division standings. One of the reasons they are there is that his team is no good on the road with just one victory in nine tries.
The NBA season is in full swing and some interesting contenders are already emerging – some new and some totally unforeseen.
