Horrible Tuesday. Again, I think I'm betting on a lot of public plays here and there.
I'm having bad feeling about this line. Earlier this season, Bulls were a 10.5 road favorite against them where they won by 9. Bulls are streaking and it's really hard not to bet. They rested Rose and Boozer in the 4th against the Raptors so they're almost good to go against the Nets. Another huge public play here so those who are weary of this should stay away. I'm taking Chicago Bulls -4.0. Another caution is the Bulls are looking to rest up in the following days since they'll be playing below .500 teams. My mind is telling me to stay away but with an almost identical home-road ATS record plus the Bulls only a 8-7 road team, my gut tells me that it's the right play. As for the total, I believe the Nets keep this UNDER 185 if they look for a chance to cover or win it. They are pretty decent defensively and this should end quite near the spread.
I'm fading the Wizards on the road. 0-16 SU and 5-11 against currently the best ATS team this season. I'll save my time talking and you guys better read scal's big writeup. What's weird is that the 76ers is no team to be made a 7-point home favorite. Then again, if that happens, the other team definitely sucks. Philly has only been made favorites 7 times this season and winning/covering 5 of those games. As for the total, I'm taking my chance on the OVER 190.0. Interesting enough both teams always matches up to 190 points or more in their last 10 meetings. Again, 76ers is better offensively without Iggy, hopefully Evan Turner comes up big or something. LOL.
Jumping on the Florida train. Orlando Magic -11.5 and perhaps the OVER 186.0. Magic blows them out like the Heat did. At home, they are better from beyond the arc and getting to 100points won't be a problem. I see the Bucks scoring 80ish at most and that's 6 points more to get from somewhere. It's really hard to go against a team who has at least 8 players scoring double digits.
I can't remember where I read it but some dude in the forum did talk about the Spurs looking ahead to the Boston game. If only the Spurs won in New York, Boston would be a lock because of the Acela Angle. Anyway, I'm betting the San Antonio Spurs +2.0 / ML because the Celtics isn't there yet. Rondo's play making ability is back but he looks a bit slow and cautious with the way he plays. I think he's a step slower than he was. Anyway, this should be far from the Knicks game where we don't see any defense. Spurs can match well with the Celts' front court and they have the speedy back court to keep up with the Celtics. This is truly a good preview of a possible NBA finals and so I'll be enjoying this one. Boston still doesn't look the same without KG out there. It should be a big shoes to fill for Boston.
Portland Trailblazers +6.0. This team has battled out injuries and like the Rockets, they know too well not to heavily rely on the injured players. I think this one is a toss up like their match last night against the Mavericks. The 6-points should come a long way seeing the Blazers turn heavily to their half court defense to win ball games. They have an unproductive bench which will definitely cost them the game if they can't get anything from their starters. In their past matchups, Portland were also able to stay close with the Rockets. In their game earlier this year, the Blazers won by 15 at home off Batum and Aldridge's offense. They seem to match well against the Rockets and always find a way to execute their offense over the Rockets' D.
As for the later games, I'm leaning the Clippers and the Suns at the moment.
What do you think fellas?
BOL.
