Friday - January 8th, 2016 (10 games)
Analysis Picks
Toronto Raptors ML (-130)
My numbers have the Raptors winning at about 2 points which is right where the line stands, Raptors rating of recent play is around 92.17 and Washington w/home court advantage at 91. The key to this game will be Toronto's Defense which ranks 4th in the league. They showed they can come out back to back games and play great D. Now, I'll be on their side. Don't screw me Toronto!
Brooklyn +5.5
If Elfrid Payton plays, the Orlando Magic will cover. As of now, he's not, so I would have to lean with Brooklyn and the points as my numbers cap the Magic when fully healthy at a 3 point win.
Memphis Grizzlies -5
My numbers predict a 8pt win here. Conley is a game time decision but Chalmers should fill in just fine if Conley can't lace them up!
Cleveland -9.5 ***TOP PICK***
Where will Minnesota find the points tonight? This is an easy 12+ point win! Cleveland doesn't cover if they decide to rest Lebron/Irving whole 4th quarter!
Indiana Pacers ML (-130) ***TOP PICK***
Simply put, the Pelicans are playing horrible basketball as the Pacers look to stay focused on their lock down D. Team moral is very low in New Orleans right now.
Dallas Mavericks +1 ***TOP PICK***
Am I high??? What don't we know that Vegas does??? The Mavericks have fresh legs in 4/5 starters. Playing much better basketball. What the hell, this is FREE MONEY!!?!?!
New York Knicks +14.5
Way too many points to me giving my favorite basketball team! Knicks have been playing well lately and Parker will most likely be sitting this one out. Even w/Parker, Spurs win by less than 10 points.
Miami Heat -3.5 ***TOP PICK***
Miami should easily win tonight by 6+ points. Phoenix is in a very bad funk, the type of funk where players get traded and coaches get fired. Heat torch the Suns!
Portland Trailblazers +10
If Curry starts, I like the Warriors covering. If he sits, 10 points is too many for Portland at home IMO.
OKC Thunder -13.5 ***TOP PICK***
Lakers playing on a B2B, lost by 40 and 35 points already to OKC that is fresh off a 20+ point win over Memphis. Lakers can't keep it close.
DALLAS +1
MIAMI -3.5
CLEVELAND -9.5
OKC -13.5
