4-4 at the moment with the Lakers looks like they won't cover.
Chicago Bulls -6.5. It's not regular to see two of your best man (Rose and Noah) to shoot below 30% and still win the game by 9 points against an elite west team. So yeah, Boozer is now in and it's time to ride the Bulls train until they implode, gets beat by an injury or gets a crazy high line. Cavaliers is just bad right now.
New York Knicks -6.5. Raptors showing their deficiencies in the guard position plus Bargnani's decline in points production isn't helping them. Raptors are staying competitive but playing a team who'll make your "best scorer" work in both ends wouldn't just cut it. Knicks beat them twice this season already - by 5 and by 7. The key stat here has always been the 3 pointing and with the Raptors allowing 44% their last 5 games, I see them getting blown out again like what happened in Indiana. The total is just about there but I'm leaning the under again. UNDER 220.5.
If there's anything the Pistons can win against it's the one that pits them against a slow tempo team who uses a lot of half court sets. I didn't see Charlie Villanueva's status and I wasn't able to hedge out on that play against the Rockets. I was about to play Detroit +8.5 right at the bat but will be waiting whether he'll be in or out. If he plays, I'm throwing it down double units if not then a no play. The man is 13ppg and 5rpg off the bench in a team with an undersize front court who needs as much offense as they can get from everyone. Detroit also plays New Orleans very well in their past matchups. Holding out on this one at the moment.
Not really fishy of a line. The first matchup we saw the Bucks as a 2.5 dog and without Andrew Bogut. So I guess a two buckets for home court plus their best center back merits the current line. Anyway, without Drew Gooden plus Indiana's good form, I'm going with Indiana Pacers +2 / ML. I don't think a lot of people hast noticed it but the Pacers are improved defensively. They are 8th in defense efficiency and even better than Milwaukee in FG% allowed. Pacers is in a really good groove after that morale boosting road trip and the routing of Toronto and could continue their good momentum against Milwaukee who only won 2 of their last 10 games. Until John Salmons and Drew Gooden plays to their contract plus they find a better guard substitue for Jennings (they could use D.Gibson), Bucks will never look the same as they did last year.
Oklahoma City Thunders -5.0 looks as easy as pie! I love pie so I'm biting. I don't know what's up with this line but other than Jeff Green not too hot his lat game. I don't see the Thunders losing to a scoring competition against the T'Wolves minus their best post defender in Darko. Playing the OVER 217.0 as well. Score fest written all over it.
The first thing that jumped at me is the total. 215 is definitely around 10 points too high for both teams at this point. Warriors is playing 3 games in 4 nights and is coming off chasing Dallas the last night. This game should have the same pace of the GSW@DAL game with GSW folding at some point because of tired legs (they did chase like hell against OKC as well). UNDER 215 plus you gotta love the Warriors' persistence to cover the spread. Golden State Warriros +11.0 while you're at it. Spurs definitely bags this one straight up.
Memphis Grizzlies +4.5. Phoenix should be tired playing catchup last night. Memphis plays Phoenix really well and back to back just don't play well for this old Suns team. The huge hole for the Grizzlies right now is OJ Mayo's lack of aggressiveness. He's been the missing link for the this season and has failed to live up to his performance of last year. Good think he always seem to show up in a Phoenix game and score at least his average. Grizzlies could keep it close whenever their starters all scores double digits and this is the opponent that they can do that sort.
Miami Heat +1.5 / ML. Didn't really bothered looking at this game. I just like the way they are moving along right now.
No play on the Was-Sac game. Both teams can't find anything going and I still can't back Washington despite looking a lot better on paper with a 0-11 at the back of my mind.
What do you think fellas?
BOL.
