Big slate tonight. Let’s get right to it:
ATLANTA (-1.5) over Miami – The Heat now have the Eastern Conference’s worst record. The Hawks are looking more and more for real every day.
BOSTON (-6.5) over Detroit – When they start giving us reasons not to pick them with regularity, well, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Until then, we’re ridin’ the Beantown wave.
Utah (-4.5) over CHARLOTTE – The ‘Cats have been playing really bad basketball for the better part of a month now. Frankly, the Jazz haven’t been good as of late either, but we know they can play well and that they will snap out of it soon. Can’t say the same for the ‘Cats.
INDIANA (-7.5) over Philadelphia – If Mike Dunleavy could play against the Knicks every night, he would be on the fast track to Springfield. That said, the Sixers shouldn’t be too much of a jump in competition.
WASHINGTON (-3.5) over Chicago – Once again, we’re ‘making Hicag beat us.’ As of right now, this team can’t compete with anybody even close to good. They can beat up on the league’s worst and do little more than that.
Cleveland (-4.5) over NEW YORK – Tek suggested this before, but he wants it established as doctrine: “We are not picking the Knicks again until Isiah is gone. Period.” So it shall be.
San Antonio (-5.5) over MEMPHIS – Tony Parker won’t play, but Pau Gasol is questionable, and the Spurs are just better. A lot better.
Golden State (-7.5) over MINNESOTA – Run, run, run.
Sacramento over MILWAUKEE (-6.5) – The Kings pulled out yet another road win last night in New Jersey and continue to claw in the absence of Kevin Martin. The Bucks haven’t done anything of late that merits giving a touchdown.
Orlando over HOUSTON (-4.5) – The Rockets have been far too inconsistent of late. Orlando plays up to its competition and should hang tight all the way through in this one and could well pick up the upset.
Phoenix over DALLAS (-3.5) – The Suns should be riding an emotional high into this game after a win in San Antonio. They are also the better basketball team.
PORTLAND (-3.5) over Toronto – Eight in a row. And counting.
New Orleans (-2.5) over SEATTLE – The Hornets should rebound well from their loss to the Ping Pong Balls and put the hammer down against a poor Sonics team.
Last night: 2-1
Season: 186-178
