Hello everyone, this will be my first post pick for this season, I barely have time to post but I will try to do it at least 2 times a week, hope to finish with a nice record.
My Mexican Pick:Milwaukee Bucks
Reasons.- The bucks lost a tough one yesterday vs a better team like the Nuggets, they have the lead during the whole game and came short at the end; they have a more balanced team this season with some offensive weapons adding on their team, now they have SJ who can provide 15 points a game, they have a nice bench shooter in Beno Udrih, the 3 pointers by Dunleavy, and still have the defensive presence of last year.
In the other hand, the jazz are very bad this year and very limited on the offensive side, they are scoring just 91 points x game (# 23 on the league), Devin Harris has started slow, he´s averaging just 12 points a game, Josh Howard is flat (he is shotong just 35%), so they have to rely a lot on big Al. Favors and Millsap are decent players but none of them are great and can carry this team during a whole game.
The Line is low because the Jazz are still difficult to beat at home but I see a nice value on betting the Bucks tonight, they will be ready to win tonight vs a team that have beat them 9 consecutive times playing in Salt Lake City; This Jazz team is way different and if the bucks were able to keep up with a tougher Nuggets team ( despite Nene´s abscence) they wont have a lot of problems to win this game. Utah may fight in the first half but the Bucks will be able to take a comfortable lead during the second half and get their first road game.
My Score: Bucks 98 Jazz 89

REASONS: Portland needs to prove that they are a better team on the road, their bench is more complete with Jamal Crawford, Nico Batum, Kurt Thomas and Craig Smith, and I need that having Crawford for the last minutes is one thing they were lacking before, they have now a true shooter that can define games at the end. Im looking for a close game here, the thunder is really good but besides Harden, im not convinced on their bench, so I think the Blazers with compete with more depth tonight and will steal the game SU.

UDRIH BOGUT AND DUNLEAVY NOT PLAYING; IT DOESNT MATTER NONE OF THEM ARE THE KEY TO DEFEAT UTAH, ITS GOING TO AFFECT BUT ENOUGH TO VOID MY BET.
HARDEN WILL REPLACE SEFOLOSHA, ITS DEFINITELY GOING TO AFFECT THE THUNDER IN MY OPINION, THEIR BENCH THEY WILL NOT BE COMPETITIVE AGAINST THIS VERY GOOD BLAZERS BENCH. WE WILL SEE
