Two nights ago, our headline was “Avoid Jazz, Ride Pacers.” The Jazz blew out Orlando, and Indy blew a 20-point first-quarter lead and lost going away to the Timberwolves. A night later, the Jazz lose to what has thus far been an atrocious Miami team, and the Pacers pull one out against Washington, bringing us to 1-3 in games played by these two teams over the last two days. Good to see we’re such experts. And better to see that we have done more than enough with the league’s other 28 teams to make up for it as of late.
LA LAKERS (-6.5) over New York – The Doctrine stands. The Lakers should take care of business against a putrid Knicks unit.
Golden State of CLEVEAND (-1.5) – Day games after night games are tough, but the truth is that the Warriors are the better team here. They are a better team than New Jersey and shouldn’t have lost last night’s game in the Swamp, and they will be looking to make up for that today. Look for the Dubs to come out running.
Houston over DETROIT (-8.5) – Too many points to give against an erratic Houston team that appears to have both stars back and healthy despite a brief scare for Yao last night in Chicago.
BOSTON (-6.5) over Orlando – The Magic are playing their worst basketball of the season, and the Celtics will atone for their early-season loss in Orlando.
SACRAMENTO over Denver (-1.5) – The Kings are a different team at home. Meanwhile, Marcus Camby and Kenyon Martin both have health questions entering tonight’s game.
Last night: 5-4
Season: 207-192
