The Toronto Raptors continue to run away with the Eastern Conference in the NBA, winners of four in a row and nine of their last ten. That means they’ve picked up four games on Boston in their last ten, and the new-look Cleveland Cavaliers have dropped two in a row and are just ½ game ahead of Indiana in third place in the East. The second-hottest team in the East right now is Philadelphia, winners of seven of ten and sitting currently in sixth place in the conference. In the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets continue their winning streak, which now stands at 15 in a row — but right behind them, the Warriors have won five in a row. The third-place Portland Trail Blazers and the fourth-place New Orleans Pelicans have streaks of six and eight wins, respectively — but they’re still 12 ½ and 13 games behind Houston. Check out our NBA betting picks for this week’s play on the hardwood.
