Will western back-to-back slow Hawks?

WASHINGTON (-3.5) over Miami - Both teams come off losses last night, so we'll lean with the one going road-to-home rather than the other way around.

NEW YORK over Indiana (-5.5) - Whatever. This is what happens when a significant portion of the Picksix contingent is comprised of Knicks fans. That said, Indiana has been a horror show thus far.

Boston (-10.5) over MINNESOTA - Celts' average margin of victory in their first five games: 21.6 points per.

Atlanta (-4.5) over SACRAMENTO - The source of some debate on last night's Picksix conference call. While I worry that despite the low caliber of opponent, a back-to-back out West could lead to a sluggish effort from the Hawks, Acks says, "Don't over-think it. The Hawks are much better." That's the word.

Memphis over GOLDEN STATE (-6.5) - The Director says he has an inkling that this is going to be a blowout one way or the other, but since both teams are train wrecks, we'll take the points.

Phoenix over ORLANDO (-8.5) - Too many puntos with Phoenix still yet to lose and the Magic having health questions.

Detroit over TORONTO (-8.5) - No Prince, probably no Rip, but this is still too many puntos.

Denver (-8.5) over NEW JERSEY - Nowhere near enough points to convince us into the Nets sans Devin Harris.

LA Lakers (-1.5) over HOUSTON - Seem low to you? Us too.

Dallas over NEW ORLEANS (-4.5) - And to win.

Last night: 6-3
Season: 34-25
