Easy win with the Wizards tonight! And was on the right side of the "fix" or luck or whatever you wanna call it on the Jazz! Just was a little to ambitious with the ML 

Both leans were wrong and sadly I played the Rockets +6..

Got the same leans with your ATS picks! BOL 

Good win last night everybody! Too close for comfort but got the W nonetheless.

Playing this early before the line may rise:
Game 3: Wizards -5

Just like the Hawks in the previous series, they blew leads and chances to take at least 1 game away from home and the home crowd pushes them past it once again. I already mentioned the Wizards being a good home team and they will definitely show it in this game.

Leans for tomorrow:
Raptors +8
I think Toronto will play better in this game and hope that Irving gets into a slump once again.

Rockets +6
Houston seems to have the Spurs figured out and have all the weapons in their offense to exploit them. They also know they can't take this series too long to get that much needed rest ahead of a possible Warriors matchup if they progress.

Let me know your thoughts on these games above!

Last post: 1-1

Hou -7

Not quite on z-bo and ennis being in the starting line-up. For me the performance of those two caught the spurs by surprise. Especially Aldrige who is familiar with z-bo from the past. This game the Spurs will be ready for the little tweaks from both sides.

Atl -3

We all saw that Atlanta can keep up with these Wizards and coming home for game 3, after being beaten in 2 well-contested games, I think the home crowd gets these Hawks over the hump and get the W. The line is a simple line to cover especially with the nature of these games ending with fts for it to be decided.

Sas -4

The Spurs usually get better the longer the series goes and this may just be the case in game 4. Pops have seen what the grizzlies can do with their other offensive options carrying the team and will be able to adjust accordingly. Spurs simply have more depth and ability to adapt to these games after experiencing a loss in the series. Public is pounding them so proceed with caution on this bet.

These are still early leans.. Might update later with locked picks and more leans

Mia -3

The heat are finally in the playoff picture and would want to shut down detroit's hope for the season for good. I'm also playing on the first-game-back-home trend that has been going pretty wel lately. PLUS Detroit has been a horrible b2b team this season and reggie jackson may be out again tonight. HUGE opportunity for Miami to close the playoff race tonight.

Phx +8

Another trend I'm banking on is how teams are now closing out road trips. With 2-3 starters out for the hawks tonight, I can see the Suns matching up well and have a big chance of covering or even winning SU.

Other leans: Ind, Mil, Bkn (double revenge for this)

Let me know your thoughts on these picks

Why Min though? Shouldn't the Pacers be the team that needs this win more? They've also got the guys to match up with the weapons of the Twolves.

I find tonight's games pretty tricky but here it goes:

Tor -7
I think the raptors will finally get over the hump in beating the bulls. They've been winless against this team for almost 2 years now. I can see the raps pull off an impressive win here in fromt of their fans at home against a bulls team that hasn't been very consistent as of late and is a terrible road team.

Det -6
The Nets are without Lin again and that hasn't worked out very well for them. Meanwhile, detroit will most definitely try to avoid an upset here and give themselves a comfortable win knowing that Miami will also be playing against a lowly Phoenix team tonight. They'll need to be the pacesetter if they want to make it into the playoffs and not the team that ALMOST made it to the playoffs. Highly motivational game for detroit so I'm taking the team who needs to win it more.

Gsw -6 (small/no play)
This line is very tricky for me. I think it's best to wait until before tip-off to really see the lineup for tonight's game but I see no reason for resting the gsw starters knowing they have 2 days of rest after this game. They'll also want a win to keep their new found momentum going and stay at the top of the league.

Mil +5 (small/no play)
Possible letdown for the blazers here if Antetokounmpo will be playing. The bucks can definitely match up with the blazers in terms of their length and defense. I'll be taking the points in a possible close game or upset.

Can anyone care to share the ATS stats of teams playing their first game back after a 4+ game road trip? If I remember correctly, it's not that good that's why I'm leaning towards the warriors and the bucks tonight.

Any other games that may be easier that I'd rather be playing?

With Boston dropping that game, now it's looking increasingly likely that Cleveland will rest their stars for the game against the Lakers and get to see what their supporting players can do against a bottom team. They might just get a close win at around 7-8 points.

Just saw the line open for the Cle-Lal game. You think Cavs will still rest their stars? I don't see a reason why they should rest against the Clips and instead play against the Lakers. They've got no respect for the league if that's what they're going to do. 

No time for the usual write up

Would also appreciate an angle on the Mil-Gsw game! Leaning on the bucks with the points right now

Should we go for the public tonight?

Det -4
The pistons had a rough home game against the jazz and van gundy admitted that jackson and drummond looked flat out tired in the second half. With another day break, I think they get back to their groove against a slumping raptors team.

Min +5
Interesting matchup between towns and whiteside, but I think the wolves will have the speed and skill to handle dragic and waiters with their own rubio and wiggins duo. May not win SU but most definitely will be taking the points in a possibly tight game.

Orl +3
Can't believe I'm trusting the magic again, but it's against the lowly suns. Who also blew it against the kings. This is a safe play if knight and barbosa are going to be out for tonight's game. Payton and fournier can most definitely handle Ullis and Booker, so I'd give Vucevic and Biyombo the upper hand plus the points in this game.
