The 76ers are peaking right now and is a good time to backing them. The last time they played, Philadelphia hanged with the Thunders but still ended up losing by 6. They were without Igoudala that time (Jeff Green was out as well so it's even a better sample). The game should pretty much roll the same way but I give a slight advantage to the home team plus with a healthier team. Durant and Westbrook will be themselves and could pretty much combine for 50-60 of the Thunders' points. The 76ers' starting 5 could pretty much go for 50-60 at the very least and still boast of a better bench than the visiting team. Philadelphia 76ers -1.0 is the play here since they are peaking at the right moment and playing better basketball with good defense and bench support over the visiting team.
I can't really put a hand on this game. The Celtics look a bit depleted but the Clippers can find ways to lose themselves. I'm playing the Los Angeles Clippers +9.0 because of the Celtics looking short handed and pretty unsure with the rotation/roles yet. I like them to do a repeat on how tough the Clippers went against Boston a couple of days back only losing by 7 (covering the spread by a point). I really don't expect Randy Foye to score 32 on the green men again but I'm looking at MoWil and Chris Kaman to provide the difference. Clipper has the size to go up against the Celtics but lacks the consistency. Hopefully we see them drag this to a slow pace game where the 9-points will come a long way.
Detroit Pistons +11.5 IMO is the best play for Wednesday or my guy feel in this whole betting game is out of funk at the moment. You know they get up for the good games and will cover the spread. Spurs will probably try to put out that bad taste of defeat from the Lakers at home and beat the Pistons by so much. Good thing the Pistons have the size to keep up with the Spurs and not get blown outside the 11.5 points. Spurs are 5-7 ATS after resting for two days and is 6-11 when favored 9 points or more.
BOL.
