7-5 on the season now
Going for three official picks to take me to 10-5 Philadelphia +17 It's time for the old fellas to take a rest and Kawhi Leonard is also doubtful to play. The 76ers have kept it tight with quite a few teams, including OKC yesterday, before getting blown out late in the 3rd, leading into the 4th. If Coach Pop leaves the big guns out of the ball game 17 points is pretty easy to cover, as long as both Philly big men show up to play today. If you are on the fence for this one, just wait to see if Kawhi is definitely not playing first. Brooklyn +18 The Nets are a pretty bad team but individually there is a lot of experience in their starting line up. I don't really have any stats to support me (for once) but looking ahead to Toronto and the Clips, GSW will surely give their starters a rest this time round. Nets are coming off a nice win against Houston and a tight loss to Sacramento after leading for almost three quarters. It won't even surprise me if Nets win this ball game, GSW have to slip up soon... Milwaukee +5.5 Not sure how the Cavs have managed 8-1 but the Bucks have the weapons to get the job done. Cleveland is 1-6 covering as favourite this season, whereas Bucks are 16-11 since last season covering +4 - +7. If Bucks can clamp down on the defensive end at home they can win ML. Leans Detroit +3.5 or leave Washington -5.5 (if Beal plays) Leave Houston game Phoenix -7

A defensively sound Pistons with a rampaging Andre Drummond doesn't worry you against a Chris Paul and JJ Redick-less Clippers side coming off two pretty hideous back to back losses? Brave man... apart from that I like the rest

Expect Canberra to win this game but please, if you are tailing this play it might be risky as the Capitals have looked ordinary lately. BOL I can't bet against Adelaide lol

DMC will also mop up the glass against Lopez so 12+ rebounds looks achievable if you're into Player Performance betting.

2-1 yesterday, could have easily been 3-0 but CP3 ruled out and Griffin ejected... oh well onto the next! Takes me to 5-3 overall.
Tomorrow isn't a very appealing day, except for these two. Not really in the mood for a long winded type up but the lines here should be pretty obvious! Sacramento -7 Despite beating the Rockets the Nets are still a hideous basketball team who is primed to be sent back to reality. Reading through the early predictions across the forum I think all Covers members are going to be cashing in on Sac -7. Rondo hitting some form and DMC is back in check. They impressed me against Detroit and Nets are a considerably lesser opponent. This could get ugly. Portland +7 Blew out Memphis by 19 only a matter of nights ago and have a considerably better offense than the Grizz. I think they are still being slept on as a bad team without all their old starters, but are already proving the critics wrong. I can also see Dame scoring over 24.5 and McCollum over 20, the latter enjoys playing Memphis as we saw in last seasons Playoffs. Memphis has been very underwhelming this year and I don't think it's just a phase, 0-3 at home covering the line. Portland have every chance of winning this match up let alone cover it.
