3-1 last night...only missed out on the Nets/Bucks UNDER because of a free throw filled 4th quarter. Won't have a lot of time today as I'll be with family for most of it...so I'm just going to get to the plays.

Cavaliers vs Celtics OVER 194.5 ($220 to win $200)
Going bigger on this play. Referees like the OVER...these two played to 189 in Boston last month because the Cavaliers couldn't hit the side of a barn to start the game. I remember that game fairly well, and the pace was pretty quick for the most part...with the Celtics extremely well rested for this one, and highly focused on winning this one game...I think they should easily hit the 104-107 mark. I think the spread is about right...shouldn't be that big of a win for the Celtics if at all. Cavaliers offense seemed to click with Waiters back in the lineup. Prediction: Celtics 105 Cavaliers 99

I know I'm going strongly against the grain in this one...but this brutal road trip for the Nets almost literally means their season. They aren't that far away from the Celtics in the division...and I think the initial shock of no Brook Lopez has worn off. They got no production out of their top two players last night, but still got a nice 11 point win against the Bucks. I know obviously that the Pacers are a far different animal...and they beat Brooklyn by 17 in Brooklyn before Christmas. I'm going to split the difference between the Nets game against Indy and their game last night against Milwaukee. I don't think the Pacers will score more points in this one than they on Monday. Prediction: Pacers 100 Nets 93

Rebounds will be key for game since there's no Lopez or Blatche.

The Heat might "rest" everyone tonight after a tough OT loss last night against the Kings. They played LeBron and Bosh last night...I would expect one or maybe both of them to sit tonight and put in Wade and Allen. What I look at however is the fact that the Heat gave up 60 points in the paint to the Kings. The Kings aren't half the team down low that the Blazers are...and I can't see them doing anything against Aldridge. STAT OF THE YEAR:
THE WESTERN CONFERENCE IS 52-14 STRAIGHT UP AGAINST THE EAST AT HOME. INDIANA AND TORONTO ACCOUNT FOR 8 OF THOSE WINS.

Going to ride the West against the East at just about every opportunity right now. The Sixers are terrible on the road this year (1-12 SU/5-8 ATS) and have a tough upcoming week on the road against the West. Phoenix loves getting out and running more so at home...and the Sixers give up a stupid 112.7ppg on the road. Prediction: Suns 113 Sixers 98

I'm going to ride this train until it throws me off. Charlotte is 10-1-1 ATS on the road this year. They are 10-3 ATS as underdogs of 7 or less points. They have gone 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games against winning teams. I think the Hawks win this game, but it might take OT to do it. The Hawks are this year's "bad good team" They are 3rd in the East and the only other team with a winning record overall...but their last two games I believe is more of an indicator of what this team is capable of. They play close.
