edited MINNESOTA TIMBERWOVLES +4 over Sacramento Kings
While both teams have terrible records (both have lost 9 of the last 10), the Wolves have covered in 2 of their last 3 games. With the young talent on the Wolves team, look for them to score consistently in the second half of the game for a win (for you that is). New coach, Kevin McHale, has the team playing with more intensity, and I look for that trend to continue into tonight as this team puts together their first straight up win since McHale took the helm. As such, this game will probably go under as Minnesota tends to step on the defensive side of the floor when they take care of business on the court. Finally, I see new edition Mike Miller stepping up his game and having a break out performance to let Wolves fans forget what they gave up in OJ Mayo, at least for one night. As always, lets take that bank roll from the red to the black.
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS +2 over ORLANDO MAGIC
Look for a letdown for the red hot Magic tonight. They are suiting up for their 5th and final game of their west coast road trip. I can’t stress how important it is to look for letdown spots by teams as much as for teams running well. Looking back into the last 2 years, road teams favored by a margin of 2 getting over 60% of the public action are a combined 9-16-2 ATS. Talk about a great stat! This game shows the same potential as all those past matchups as I see the Magic packing this one in early as they have won enough games on this trip and are ready to head home no matter the result tonight.
INDIANA PACERS +1 over WASHINGTON WIZARDS
The Wizards are packing this baby in for the year, pure and simple. I believe the team’s front office has caulked up this year and are looking to get in position for a high draft choice that will put them in a spot to pull off what the Heat are currently doing (with Beasley). Pacers are going to come out hard tonight as they look to close out their road trip with a win in the finally. Pacers are 11-4 ATS following a straight up loss and that trend goes to 12-5 tonight as Pacers capitalize on the hibachi lacking team.
MIAMI HEAT -4.5 over MILWAUKEE BUCKS
Just as I pointed out these Heat in regards to the Pacers game tonight I wanted to go a little more in-depth here. This isn’t the NFL and teams don’t make drastic turnarounds as often and we all can point our fingers at Pat Riley and say he had his team tank the season last year in order to flip it into Beasley. This team will go to the playoffs this year and will be a Eastern conference contender starting next year. As it pertains to tonight, The bucks coming off a nice win against the Pacers are going to come into a hornets’ nest in Miami tonight as the Heat look to bounce back from back to back losses. Look for this team to control the tempo and show they are just a flat out better team as they cruise to a Double Digit victory tonight at home.
TORONTO RAPTORS +4 over NEW JERSEY NETS
This is a game between like-minded teams. What does this mean for us? Pure and simple it means that common sense plays out and we take the home team. The fact the Nets have played their road games to a record of 7-4 is misleading and as a result swaying the line of this game the wrong way, which we will gladly pounce on a take the active home dog plus the points. Look for a similar but slightly closer game as the one they played back on the 12th as the Raptors hit their shots and defend well and take the game in the process.
ATLANTA HAWKS -8 over CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
Take out the results from the almost impossible Texas Triangle road trip and you have a completely smoking hot Hawks team that is 6-1 over their last 7. History has shown that playing those three teams back to back to back is never good and still is the case today. I look for the Hawks to get out and run all over the hapless Cats as without Richardson this team needs some time to build a team identity and scoring leader as Diaw and Bell look to get comfortable on their new team. Finally, after playing a few close games in a row only to lose in the end these Bobcats are also in for a letdown and will create fast break points off their miscues.
