We are just a little over a month away from the all-star break, which usually marks the start of the push for the playoffs. However, it's never too early to start building momentum, and teams are having trouble putting decent winning streaks together of late.

In fact, heading into the weekend, the league's longest active winning streak is four games, not by the Cavaliers, Celtics, or Lakers, but rather the 17-16 New Orleans Hornets. Let's take a look at some of the key matchups coming over the weekend, and analyze some of the Top StatFox Betting Angles you'll want to consider as you build your wagering lineup.
