Lost the only play on Saturday. Didn't end up having a lot of time to cap the games...Grizzlies just flat out stunk on defense from the start. It happens, we move on.

I loved the way the Celtics played for the first couple of quarters against the Bucks...but they should be absolutely raped inside against the Pistons. A lot of early bets are on the Celtics, but they just don't have it right now. Early lean would be towards the Pistons in this one...as well as the UNDER.
Washington vs Miami -
I would set this line at Miami -9.5 and O/U of 195.5. We will see where it ends up.
Brooklyn vs Orlando -
The Magic offense has severely over-performed the first couple of games. I have a feeling that should stop pretty quickly against the Nets defense. Lean towards the UNDER
Phoenix vs Oklahoma City -
Would set this line at OKC -7 and O/U at 200. We will see where it ends up
Minnesota vs New York -
Early lean is for the Wolves, but I would love to see the line climb up a little bit higher. Minnesota has won their first couple games and looked very impressive doing so. The Knicks have struggled to find balanced scoring, which is what you need against the Wolves.
Atlanta vs LA Lakers -
Remember that time the Lakers beat the Clippers impressively and the bench players looked great doing so? Yeah, neither do I. Line movements will determine whether this deserves a play or not.

This is the "close your eyes and hope for the best" type of play. This line is off. The Heat are not 14 points better than the Wizards right now...and that's hard to say. Most people will look at this one as a "statement" game for the Heat...but what have the past couple games been? I figure this will be a do enough to win type of game, or a late cover. Prediction: Heat 104 Wizards 94

Washington Wizards +13.5 ($110 to win $100)

I don't think Aaron Afflalo will be able to put up 20+ points like he has in the past couple of games. The Pelicans and the Wolves aren't exactly known for their defense...the Nets are. They have the bigs down low to bother Vucevic. They have the slow it down offense to take the game over. Only thing that worries me is the same situation that killed the UNDER against the Heat. If it's within 10 points late fouls hurt.
Prediction: Nets 98 Magic 91

I'm passing on that PHX line although I do think it is a tad high. Not sure yet if this PHX squad is better than I thought they would be, want to watch a few more games for them before I start diving in. Glad to see we both agree that 13.5 is too many points for MIA against a decent WAS squad in this spot. Will MIA have to put LeBron on Wall at some point this game?

Slow and steady does win the race

Thank you for your picks. I barely follow NBA and today I chose you at random to make a parlay from and threw a lousy 16 at a 5 teamer inspired by your picks. I took magic and under, wolves, under in boston, and lakers. So far it is looking great, as I said i wouldn't have made these picks had I not seen your thread because I mainly watch NFL and CFB this time of year
