Raymond Report Computer Picks — fast reads, clean numbers, no fluff. Alright, buckle up, here we go….
Milwaukee Bucks (-5, 232.5) at Charlotte Hornets
Milwaukee’s off a tight win in Dallas and still grading A-Neutral with balanced splits. Charlotte’s in a C-Bearish funk (three straight SU/ATS losses) and leaking fourth-quarter points. Expect the Bucks’ shot quality to carry late.
Forecast: Milwaukee 119.14 – Charlotte 115.90
Chicago Bulls at Detroit Pistons (-2.5, 235)
Detroit’s market is catching up to the streak, but seven straight wins is seven straight wins. Bulls have dropped three in a row and defense is optional. Pistons’ A-Bullish cycle says keep the foot down.
Forecast: Detroit 117.01 – Chicago 114.54
Orlando Magic at New York Knicks (-4.5, 228)
MSG is popping: Knicks on a 5-0 SU/ATS heater with tempo in control. Orlando’s offense travels in spurts, not waves. Edge to New York’s half-court execution.
Forecast: New York 117.64 – Orlando 113.24
Cleveland Cavaliers at Miami Heat (-5.5, 238.5)
Rematch energy after a 140–138 thriller. Heat form reads A-Neutral with three straight wins and a cleaner late-game shot chart. Cavs can match pace, not the closing.
Forecast: Miami 120.14 – Cleveland 117.28
Memphis Grizzlies at Boston Celtics (-6.5, 229.5)
Schedule loss for Memphis (back-to-back, heavy SOS). Boston’s been uneven but TD Garden usually solves that. Model shows a comfortable cushion.
Forecast: Boston 120.92 – Memphis 111.82
Golden State Warriors at San Antonio Spurs (-4.5, 231)
Spurs are A-Bullish, winners of three straight SU/ATS, and attacking the rim again. Warriors’ recent profile: high variance, low consistency.
Forecast: San Antonio 115.30 – Golden State 109.99
Portland Trail Blazers (-8.5, 231) at New Orleans Pelicans
Blazers’ offense is humming (7 Overs last 10) and Pelicans sit C-Bearish with injuries and empty trips. Portland’s pace + spacing travel well.
Forecast: Portland 121.89 – New Orleans 114.00
Washington Wizards at Houston Rockets (-17, 234.5)
Wizards have lost nine straight SU/ATS. Rockets are A-Bullish and running. Sometimes the number is big because the mismatch is bigger.
Forecast: Houston 122.32 – Washington 104.13
Phoenix Suns (-1.5, 227) at Dallas Mavericks
Both sides off coin-flip finishes. Suns’ three-game SU/ATS streak + better shot quality at mid-range nudges the edge.
Forecast: Phoenix 114.52 – Dallas 112.73
Los Angeles Lakers at Oklahoma City Thunder (-7, 229.5)
OKC is a wagon: 11–1 SU, 7–3 ATS L10, A-Bullish. Lakers’ defense won’t love this pace or paint pressure.
Forecast: Oklahoma City 118.89 – Los Angeles 110.85
Atlanta Hawks (-4.5, 233.5) at Sacramento Kings
Hawks trend B-Bullish with defense (finally) closing possessions. Kings are searching, not sorting.
Forecast: Atlanta 115.19 – Sacramento 110.54
Denver Nuggets (-2.5, 225) at Los Angeles Clippers
Market loves Denver’s streak; the model loves this spot for the Clips (yes, really). Divergence game: price vs projection.
Forecast: LA Clippers 117.51 – Denver 115.16
Quick Board Snapshot
- Biggest forecast gaps: OKC over LAL, HOU over WAS, BOS over MEM
- Market vs Model disagreement: Nuggets (-2.5) @ Clippers (model says Clips outright)
