King Tomo's Thursday NBA Treble, Now 3-2

Talking about on the road, every team tomorrow I'm backing is in fact playing away from home.

Utah is going to be my money making machine this season and I already cashed in on taking them +6 or whatever it was against the Cavs the other day and against the Pacers a few days before that. They are a solid side and will match up well against the Heat with no obvious mismatches, except for Bosh's ability to stretch the floor on Favors. This is made up by the depth of Utah's guards, even if you exclude Hayward as a forward. 

With both teams being so defensively sound you can assume a lot of tough shots being put up by the offense. Rebounding will be key in this match up and Utah hold a strong advantage in the offensive rebounding category. If Utah don't win this game it will still be a tight contest (can't see a Heat blow out), and I think they have the cover in the bag.

Everyone is sleeping on Utah this season but their young squad is maturing each game and as a squad, are almost 5 years younger than Miami. Chalmers was clocking minutes before his trade so Miami are still getting used to life without Rio.

In a game where I can even see the underdog winning with ease, it is a no brainer for me to take them at +5

As much as the Timberwolves have improved, Golden State are a well oiled machine, experienced and I wouldn't be surprised if by the time you read this the line has jumped. Home court means little for the Woves, you can hear a pin drop in the Target Center sometimes. Their hot start was no fluke, but against the reigning champs it's an intimidating match up for anyone. Despite the Wolves early form, all statistics still point to the Warriors for a convincing win.

Rubio and Wiggins slight knee problems could rule either out of the game in what would be a huge blow for the Wolves and result in a huge blow out for the Warriors. Cannot see Timberwolves getting within single digits, sorry!

Clippers are a work in progress and will be disappointed after the loss to the Mavs. They have dominated this match up as of recent times and I see no reason for BG32 and DeAndre 3000 to not explode after a frustrating outcome against the Mavs, especially against a Suns squad they have derailed in the past. Only 10 days ago the Suns managed to shoot almost 20 more shots than the Clippers and still lose by 6, and as long as the shot attempts stay close this time around it's gonna be the Clippers by 8+. No word on Redick yet but the Clippers bench can certainly make up for the lost scoring firepower. 

Decided to get this write up done early so I can reply to any queries or questions straight away!

Would be ideal 

Dont forget, warriors are traveling from memphis to minny

utah...disagree again, i see this a close game but miami has superstars for a reason. I can easily see the heat pulling away in the last 5 min and utah panicking...chucking up shots and taking low percentage shots. Heat win 88-74 range 

i agree. This looks like a trap line but clippers NEED a win here. If reddick is out, thats even better...the bench will certainly step up. No need to overthink this one, i think clips win here comfortably.

Warriors guards will give Curry trouble? 

The weakest aspect of the Warriors game is their inability to hold onto the ball, luckily Minnesota is worse. Traditionally Curry has a mighty fine record against Rubio, and if Wiggins takes the reigning MVP then Rubio is assigned Thompson, an even bigger mismatch. Bogut is a more physically imposing figure than KAT and the same can be said for Ezeli. A young, energetic team, sure... but experienced, ready to take on the world's best? I guess we will find out tomorrow, but I'm very happy with my -7.5 line. Also just wondering how you can know a players mentality heading into a match up? Half of them could be garbage scared! 

Still confident with Utah as long as Gobert is playing (he should be), I already ran through that one pretty in depth above so will stick with those statements. BUT, just interested in how you define a superstar, as I don't see the Heat having any except arguably Bosh?

Glad we can agree on one of them 

I think rubio and curry match up fine. Wiggins will def neutralize thompson. Either way, im waiting for this line to go up. Twolves will def be up for this game. 

Wade Bosh Dragic..all star power there. This will be a close match but i see the last 5 min. The heat will break away and jazz will take poor shots. Wade will still get his calls if he drives in.

I want to say Utah covers, but like it was mentioned, I could see Miami pulling away towards the end. They have a knack for doing that (watch the recent LAL game)...No play for me

GSW vs Twolves. Also a difficult game to cap. I had them yesterday against memphis, but the line is now 9, which is a lot of chalk to lay. I want to take it but I feel like this one might be close, and GSW might win by 6-7...too close to call so probably a no play for me. Gun to my head I would take GSW. 

BOL to both of you

I read this post

 "Great spot for Phoenix here. Clippers will be coming off a close win against rival Grizzlies and a game against Dallas Mavericks (off-season fiasco) and then playing a b2b and 3rd game in 4 nights against the Suns. Pheonix will be playing with revenge after a close loss in LA last week, also with 3 days of rest after 2 straight losses including getting blown out in OKC. This is a primetime game and I think the Suns will be too much run and gun for the Clips who will tire out in the 2nd half. The Suns lost by just 6 in LA last week despite shooting a measly 36% from the field. I expect them to pull out the win here. "

Rubio OUT

BOL everyone 

Good stuff mate! Just doing them now...
