The Picksix: Knicks to fold once more?

Portland over INDIANA (-0.5)-- The Blazers will be without Brandon Roy once more in the second half of an Eastern back-to-back... but won't need him. Our principles also won't let us pick against a team due to a death in the family.

PHILADELPHIA (-6.5) over LA Clippers
NEW ORLEANS (-13.5) over Memphis


Both underdogs are bad Western teams playing the second halves of respective road back-to-backs. Sluggishness could be the order of the day.

HOUSTON (-9.5) over Atlanta -- The Cavs ran into the buzz saw that is the Rockets on Thursday and lost by 15. LeBron cleaned out the Hawks in the fourth quarter on Friday. The Hawks go to the home of the buzz saw on Saturday. Won't be pretty.

MILWAUKEE (-4.5) over New York -- A last-second implosion against the Spurs last night could definitely lead into the classic have-no-energy-and-get-stomped-the-next-night situation.

Chicago over UTAH (-13.5)
Sacramento over GOLDEN STATE (-7.5)


Too many points to give against two teams who haven't been getting blown out as of late.

Last night: 6-5
Season: 383-353
