CLEVELAND (-16.5) over Oklahoma City - The Thunder busted it for new coach Scott Brooks last night...and still wound up losing at the buzzer to Phoenix at home. Cleveland didn't have to work too hard in wiping out the Knicks last night and should be primed for another cruise control win.
Charlotte over TORONTO (-8.5) - Larry Brown's 'Cats aren't great, but they hang tough. The 6-7 Raps have yet to sell us hard enough.
BOSTON (-12.5) over Golden State - The champs have played much improved basketball since a poor effort in a home loss to Denver a week and a half ago.
Orlando over PHILADELPHIA (-4.5) - The Magic's success isn't that married to Jameer Nelson's health that we'd pass on getting points here.
New York over DETROIT (-13.5) - Take two for the new-look Knicks couldn't possibly be as ugly as the first try was. Right? Right?
Phoenix (-4.5) over MINNESOTA - The Wolves' win over Detroit seems like the aberration that proves the rule.
HOUSTON (-8.5) over Indiana - The Rockets return home after sweeping a three-game Southeast Division road swing, and the Pacers play the tail end of a Texas back-to-back.
San Antonio (-7.5) over CHICAGO - Remember when the Spurs were 1-4 and down two stars? Well, Ginobili's back, they're 7-6 and we're officially scared of them.
UTAH (-9.5) over Memphis - Lots of not-very-close losses for Memphis. Deron Williams may play.
Miami over PORTLAND (-15.5) - Yowser, that's a lot of points.
SACRAMENTO (-2.5) over New Jersey - The Nets finishing a back-to-back out West don't thrill us.
Denver (-3.5) over LA CLIPPERS - The Nuggets are 7-2 with Chauncey Billups in the lineup. We're impressed.
Last night: 1-4
Season: 104-105
