NBA YTD: 377-281-14 Sunday: 4-2 Monday: 5-4 (waiting for the Rockets)
Philadelphia 76ers +1.5 is really weird. Indiana isn't getting anything done after the break (3-4 SU/ATS) then again they were up against the better teams in the league. The 76ers is flying under the radar and has come from a sub .500 team to an above .500 team. They've won 8 of their last 10 and 15 of their last 20 games (13-7 ATS in that stretch from 01/22/11 to 03/06/11), The Pacers leads the season series 2-1 and is currently in 8th spot in the east (1.5 games above Charlotte) so if anything, it should be a motivation for them. ATS trends all points to the 76ers and they are pretty much the better team all around in every areas except for the Center position.
I don't know what's up in Cleveland nowadays but the only thing that should keep you from playing the Golden State Warriors -3.5 is that they are on the road (8-22) and is playing the 6th game of a 7 game road trip which is a brutal schedule for them almost gone for a week now from home. Then again, the Clippers were just as bad on the road but managed to slug it out against the Bobcats Monday night. Earlier this season, the Warriors played the Cavs and they went on to shoot 14/28 in 3pt en route to a comfortable win and cover. It should be same as that night except it should be a bit closer like the Knicks@Cavs game except the Warriors edge them in the latter quarter like they put a scare on Boston a few games ago.
I wouldn't want to be up against the Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5) at the moment. That's because they are crazy good. The only thing that worries me in this spot is that they could all be looking ahead to a date with Miami two days later. They do not have anything to prove here as they've trashed the Hawks by 24 where they jumped on them from start to finish. The Hawks, if anything else, would have pay back in mind. Then again, they're playing bad and shooting blanks the last 10 games. Like in my last few writeups on an Atlanta game - Hawks Sucks!
I think this is pretty much a play of the year or something. I was hoping for another Miami drama where everyone's like need to come together and talk and shit. That 4 game losing streak against teams they could've won but was bested in the waning moments of the game should be haunting them and they pretty much ask themselves why do they let teams back in. So the play here is Miami Heat -8.5. This is a statement game for the Heatles and pretty much something like an initial fire before welcoming the Lakeshow Thursday night! Portland is playing 3 games in 4 nights and you could tell something's up with them if you watched that game against Orlando. Portland played them tough in the Rose Garden early in January and the Heat needed an OT for the win and cover. Wade and Lebron combined for 78 of the Heats' 107 points with Aldridge leading the Blazers with 31. Batum went for 22 which should happen again Tuesday night.
You gotta love the Houston Rockets (+5.0) catching the points at Phoenix. The suns played terrific basketball and is playing catchup in playoff positioning. Houston is just the same and a win here should be big just in case they go into a deadlock. Nash is playing hurt as usual but nothing's new since he's a warrior thing is that Frye is out and he's been a huge part of the Suns' outside offense and rebounding (Gortat has limited range but still really handy). This game should go down the wire with both teams grinding each other out. I'm initially playing the Suns thinking they'd be a low point dog but ended up getting 5 which should come a long way in close games both teams would normally play. I see the game ending with either a 3 point lead to an 8 points lead. Either way, catching 5 is better.
BOL.

Rockets look very very nice tomorrow especially with the Suns coming back from a long east coast road trip that ended in heartbreaking fashion after an overtime loss against the Thunder

Lakeshow is a hard bet to me tomorrow, but I like how they are playing right now. But something tells me to stay off this game so I'm not even going to bother looking into it.
My just lay off the Terrible Tuesdays in the Association.
Bet thing I see on the board is Philly +1.5 and Miami -8.5
These are the only two I'm really looking into tomorrow and hoping when the zebras are announced in the morning they will coincide with my leans.

completely agree on all of those plays, 76ers/Houston ML looks great.
Don't like the Lakers pretty much for the reason you mentioned and they also just got their revenge at San Antonio, might get unmotivated/lazy in this one, wheres the Hawks really look to bounce back.
Also wouldn't touch the Heat at -8.5 , sry but until they sort out their mental issues it's best to stay away. Considering also that Portland has been improving with Roy and Wallace in the rotation and is another great defensive team and the Heat can't seem to score, when they get under pressure for some reason and resort to jumpers/3s.
Can easiely see them chocking again, if Portland tightens up the defense.
But yeah don't really want to pick either side, as this is really a tough trip for Portland and who knows, maybe Miami's cold 3 point shooting comes to an end, because it is really overdue.

Yeah
- 76ers - Houston - GSW

Agree with "fiire" I think I will stay away from Miami's game. Either that or play really small on them just because I want to see an upset on Portland as they are coming off a big win on Orlando(No I didn't bet Orlando, I saw the spot and went to place a bet on Portland) while Miami is off a big loss to the Bulls. Loving the Lakers. Golden State as well. I'm not too sure of Houston, I think the Suns are more Hungry for the game, although they may not cover, I think they're looking for the win as they are 9th place right behind Memphis. And as far as I see, Memphis isn't giving in either. Both teams are working their asses off every night.

Well just checked that Scola is out for Houston. Also Carter back for Phoenix with a huge game.
Well they are all veterans, on second thought this is like a playoff game and home advantage is really huge here, definitly not Houston ML, maybe the points :p

I'm running real fast...away from any play on this game...they don't get any tighter...The best play is definately Philly +1.5...but if you want it get it fast...line can only move towards even...Think the total play is under...by game time the under may have a little breathing space...over is going to be THE public play in this one...and under...in my opinion is the best...It's the tightest game I'vee worked on...Score? Philly 101.4 Pacers 101.

i hear the houston picks left and right, and some good points made on it. Frye and Scola are out, rockets are "hot" afeter their beat up on sactown. Suns have home court advantage tho... its something i hope not to regret, but im taking the suns -5.
Hawks/Lakers over 185.5 hawks gonna want vengence, lakers are ego happy
Warriors/Cavs under 216 two horrible offences, feel like theyre trying to make people take the over
76ers +1.5, over 205 have won 8 of their last 10, pacers are 10-21 at home

CMM can I get your opinion. When sportsbook released the lines yesterday, I snatched up the suns. I parlayed it with the bulls ML (which i figured was a lock) so I could buy 3 points without paying much juice. So the bulls hit and now I have suns at -2... Would you be comfortable with that?
Also, I did the same thing with the lakers and now have them at -1.5

milk do you give Blazers any credit at all? Your good at what you do I admit but Miami are in trouble right now and one thing they will struggle with is the Blazers height and their exceptional defensive abilities plus Roy is starting to gather fitness at a very nice rate for Blazer fans. Miami are a 3 man team and they are currently not functioning correctly as a team. Wouldn't buy into that news of players crying because if it is true even more reason to worry if your Heat backer and 8.5 points against a team that plays almost identicle to the Bulls who just beat the Heat is too many points. Revenge game as well after Blazer lost in OT
