2-2 Wednesday. Miami play is still pending. I could finally hit .500 if they cover. Currently at 53-54 YTD. It's only going up after that.
Charlotte Bobcat +9.5
How many times has it been when a good team gets blown out only to be somewhere close to a double digit fave at home and end up actually covering? It's been set up like this where the public casually goes and plays the team with the points and ends up getting blown out. Not wasting time here and getting 9.5 right away. It opened at 10.5 (I wish I got it at that number) and will probably see 8.5 later on. Hawks are banged up and they do not have a good support unit to play for the hurt/injured guys. They are even thinner now and so the play on my Cats now looks like a good idea. Atlanta is the few team that the Bobcats play well and getting 9.5 is a bit too much. Earlier they played the Hawks hard only to lose in OT. IMO, Cats do it again and even get a shot winning SU.
Lean: Milwaukee Bucks -8.0
It's a lean because the line is a bit too high for my liking. Bucks get Bogut and will see him more productive now that he has a couple days of practice with the team. Detroit is just bad and even worse on the road. Either the Bucks or burn your ticket on the Pistons.
Lean: New York Knicks +4.5
This got the same feel as the 76ers play I had Wednesday night. I don't know why though but I feel the Knicks as they are now is one bad fit against the struggling Grizzlies. Amare, Melo and Toney Douglas seem to play well against these guys as well. It will be easier now that the Grizz have a thinner front court and less offensive option down there while the Knicks improved with a defensive middle (Chandler) and an extra scorer (Iman Shumpert) in the wing. Grizz' acquisition of Speights isn't going to solve their front court dilemma. He's only good in scoring but doesn't have much to offer in the other facets of a big man's game. I also just find it weird to open at -2 and now at -4.5.
Lean: Cleveland Cavaliers +7.0
No idea with this game. I feel the Suns run with the Cavs here and end on a close game. Last season, a better Phoenix team only managed to win by 8 (in both games) against the even crappier Cavs team. Now that the Cavaliers is twice as much better than last year, I think they can punch in that extra bucket to cover. Michael Redd is expected to play tomorrow as well. I'd love to see him play well again like Grant Hill did.
Orlando Magic -3.5
BOL.
