i'm only gonna count my posted picks for today...i just feel it wouldn't be right for this thread otherwise.....

i'll tell you one thing MAVIN....i never doubted you for a second about getting right back on track with your picks....nobody can prepare for a day like the one yesterday...i'm still glad i was watching the bcs championship at my friends house without my computer

btw i know someone posted earlier about toronto-4 lean.....I would have to agree with that lean and it seems like a gimme pick...though thats also why it bothers me from the books standpoint...i know.they are using past history of this year in that pick, considering that philly beat toronto twice this year including once in toronto.. and are 2-0 against them but we all know toronto was a whole different team them....and they also were w/o lowry in both games...so far i like that lean a lot

I am not going to call those leans as of yet but will be watching the lines carefully. Those are the games I consider with sides for tomorrow:
Raptors -4
Utah -5
SA -13.5
OKC -11.5
GS -2
Magic +11
Dallas +10.5
I will most probably narrow the list down to 3-4 plays for leans and will play 2-3 games out of that list. But this is Wednesday - the bettors day and we already paid our dues on Monday
Please feel free to discuss those games and anyone who considers himself/herself expert on any of the participating teams or lives in the cities that teams are from and is a fan who follows closely team trends - please post your opinions/plays with arguments and angles. And do not fear to contradict my considerations in any way.

I second that play.  Local doesn't have the 1 (H) line up yet as my feeling is that they'll run & gun and get out to a respectable lead before half time.

Mavin man, you're the Yoda of the gambling world.

It really is true that this thread helps a lot... Since I've been reading it daily I've been making a lot more money... Not just from tailing you, just by using your methodology.

i like golden state a lot mavin if they can impose their style of play on the game which,for the most part,they tend to do at home...its obviously a bounceback game for them after a slaughtering from the clips and theyre rested and raring to go i wud think........as i say if the game is to their tempo i dont see memphis keeping up at all.....warriors gotta run their big men up and down a bit,move the ball like crazy,get their shooters looks,and use their bench 2 their advantage as grizz are a bit weak or inconsistent in that area.....
im with melos and you on raptors,philly are dead at the moment,just got home and now hav 2 go on the road again back-2-back.tough ask.if raptors bring effort,which can b relied on lately,they shud handle sixers.
a lot of the other leans im not keen on either way,spreads are too big 4 my liking and dont trust the dogs quite enuff.
except for maybe spurs,getting the horifically depleted lakers on a road back-2-back coming off a loss 2 hornets themselves mite b a prime position for a spurs beat-down.kobe mite actually literally explode in frustration during the course of the game.....but still hard 4 me to go hi-confidence on a number like that

As a huge golden state follower, I don't have much of an opinion on tomorrow's game as i could see it going either way. Would like to think GS will comeback after a bad loss vs the clips, but they've already lost to Memphis at home, and Memphis has won what is it 3 straight road games by double digits? Just not confident on this one at betting either side.

And I've done very well this year betting on golden state when I felt good about them. Just not pushing them on wed. And the over under I see as being too close to call. Staying away from this one IMO

Hey SPORTS born and raised in los angeles and i am a HUGE lakers fan..this team is in very,very bad shape...you can see it in Kobe's eyes when he does his post game interview. Its sad to watch and i have no doubt that the lakers vs spurs game will be done at halftime...the question is whether or not the spurs put the pedal to the metal for the whole game..we shall see..thanks as always for all your information and plays..best of luck to you this year buddy...

Agree, I don't exactly feel bad for Kobe or fakers fans, but the 13.5 spread concerns me a bit, they held with Houston pretty well today. Personally will likely be looking for a second half play on that one unless Melos and Mavin both feel spurs will cover ill be much more likely to bet as they are difference maker for me when I'm undecided on a play!

I think toronto will play well vs a struggling philly. They have lost 2 in a row and will be looking to bounce back at home because they are not a very good road team. I am from canada therefore watch most games, and i think this team is still hot they just ran into demarcus cousins who matches up terribly for them and okc who they simply cant compete with over 60 minutes
They also typically play better agaisnt teams they think they have a realistic chance of winning agaisnt.

I've been following this thread a while now, taking in everyone's great info and advice, and I feel it's time to contribute something.

MIN / OKC 200.5 OVER.  TWolves offense looked great last night with Rubio back, no KLove gumming things up, and a smaller, quicker lineup.  They played a faster tempo than usual, and I would expect the same tonight.  I don't expect 108 from them again, but they should be good for near 100.   OKC's scoring has been down recently, but after 4 games against slower Eastern conference teams, I think they'll push the pace back at home.  They should be in the 105-110 range, pushing this over 200 easily. 

MIN is on the road, 2nd night of a back-to-back, with a depleted bench.  They could run out of steam late (they almost blew a 16 point lead last night), and OKC may be a good 2h play, depending on the number. 

Thanks to everyone contributing to this great thread.

I would like 3 games.

Play 1 which loses.

Don't play the other 2 which cover.

If it works for you, more power.

I can "go that route".............GL

I just wanted to say thanks to Mavin "you are Da Man!" and all the other posters with their insightful comments -- this is a really great thread. I was leaning towards Toronto -4.5 and Chicago - 5.5!! 

What do you guys out there think of Chicago tonighht? The Bucks will be playing on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, while thje Bulls blew a big lead to them at home last time they played in Chicago, so I think home cooking + revenge = Chicago victory by 8- 10 points! I know Chicago has been shitty ATS this year, but they have been playing much better recently!
