Boston Celtics -5.5
Counting on Jazz to wear down in the 2nd half. 3rd game in 4 nights. Thomas has a hot hand right now and he makes free throws down the stretch.

02-Jan.........CHI -1.5


TOR +6.5

--Just because this season SA barely ever covers the spread vs decent opposition at home. I definitely rate them still #3 at the NBA but the team just doesn't seem so 'fresh' to my eyes /here feel free to laugh at me if u wish, understandable :)
--Raptors seemed a bit tired after GS, lost to Suns b2b and then were mediocre vs LAL but I expect them to fight hard tonight

Tomdy, no unfortunately no changing picks, a play laid is a play made or something like that. Hopefully guys and gals put some thought into their pick in the first place as that is what they are offering up to everyone as their best bet. Good luck tonight.

All Out

No play for me tonight, but I wanted to take the time to thank you for restarting this thread (and, presumably, moderating it as well?)

Wolves@76ers 1H Over 102.5

The last outing between the 76ers and the Minnesota Timberwolves took place November 17 and was nationally televised. It was supposed to be a showcase of elite young big men Embiid and Towns. Minnesota dominated things from the start and went on to win a 110-86 victory at the Target Center. At the half the Sixers trailed 61-33. The 33 points were their lowest halftime output of the season. This is the chance for the 76ers to get revenge. These quotes were said by Embiid “I think it’s payback time. “Since that game ended last time, I couldn’t stop thinking about it." The Sixers return home for the first time in two weeks with Embiid likely to try out a new low-post partner in Nerlens Noel. After the two big men lobbied to play together, it appears head coach Brett Brown will grant their wish. No matter which team comes out on top Tuesday night, it likely won't be because of any spectacular defensive performance. The Sixers and Timberwolves have both showcased their offensive talent this season but have failed miserably to protect their own basket.The Sixers rank 21st in the NBA in defensive efficiency (106.0 points per 100 possessions) and 19th in opponent's field goal percentage (45.5). Minnesota has been even worse, much to the dismay of defensive-minded head coach Tom Thibodeau. The T-Wolves are 26th in the league in defensive efficiency (108.0 points per 100 possessions) and 28th in opponent's field goal percentage (47.2). Personally I will be playing 1st Half Over and full game Over.

Pacers +5

Similar style teams that match up well so game should be close. Pacers have more depth with ellis and Brooks off the bench. Pistons' drummond won't have backup either so myles Turner should be able to out last him.

Suns -2.5

Suns on a b2b but I think they are built to handle it with the young legs and 11 players playing 12+ minutes. Heat on the other hand are dealing with too many injuries IMO, two bad teams but taking the healthier home team to cover. 

Thanks for doing this Straight, I really enjoyed following last year!

Dang, should have read the rules.  

0-0, Memphis -4.  Simply think they are the better team and Lakers are so inconsistent.  I think Memphis bigs handle Lakers and I love Conley against his Ohio State counterpart.
