The Picksix: Reunion night in Big D

Indiana over CLEVELAND (-9.5) -- The Pacers hung tight with the Cavs in two of their first three match-ups this season. This line is a bit high for too rather fickle teams.

ATLANTA (-6.5) over Miami -- Until Dwyane Wade moves off the injury report (he is questionable), we don't want any part of the Heat.

Golden State over ORLANDO (-6.5) -- We'll take the points with a hot Dubs team over an inconsistent Orlando squad.

Charlotte over WASHINGTON (-6.5) -- The 'Cats have won four in a row. The Wiz are still banged up. Points, please.

Portland (-2.5) over NEW YORK -- Not enough points for a nonchalant Knicks team.

Boston (-10.5) over MEMPHIS -- The Grizz aren't competing sans Pau, and the Celts are suddenly streaking once more.

New Jersey over DALLAS (-11.5) -- The points are a bit high for a Dallas team still finding its way since the Kidd trade, and Devin Harris may be eager to send a message to the team that moved him for a perceived upgrade.

New Orleans over HOUSTON (-6.5) -- Sooner or later, the Rockets are going to have to lose -- or at least squeak one out. It might as well happen against on of the West's top teams.

UTAH (-5.5) over Denver -- Even without AK47, the Jazz should continue to have no trouble dominating at home, where they are a league best 27-3.

LA CLIPPERS (-4.5) over Minnesota -- For no reason at all except that we can't see the Wolves playing well on consecutive nights out West.

Last night: 6-6
Season: 473-450
