SAN ANTONIO SPURS - 7.5 - - - The Chicago Bulls are playing their 6th road game in 8 nights....wow. That is ridiculous, schedule makers forgot that Jordan doesn't play for them anymore? That is brutal. Coach Pop will have a game plan to stop the penetration of rook Derrick Rose. Spurs defense will lock him up. With Manu back and as efficient as ever, his 20+ minutes should be more then enough to give the Spurs a double digit victory in Texas.

PHOENIX SUNS - 3.5 - - - This line is not a "trap" it is accurate...in a sense. The pre-Shaq Suns always had trouble vs Big Al in Minny. Before the acquisition of Shaq PHX had no one to guard Jefferson even Amare was getting killed. Al pulled down 35 rebounds and two games vs PHX in Minny and won. Despite that the one appearance vs Shaq and PHX Minny lost horribly. With the acquisition of Brook Lopez and a well rested Diesel this Minny team will come in with too much confidence after their win in D-Town. I don't see them with back to back wins against two playoff teams, after a win Minny is 0-2 and you can make it 0-3 after Wednesday.

BOSTON CELTICS - 11.5 - - - In the last 3 games the Celts have beaten the Raps, Timberwolves & Pistons by 15, 17 and 18 respectively. The Warriors just lost to the Wiz by almost 30...nuff said? I had hopes for this GS team and still do, but matchup wise Biedrins and his rebounding ability will be negated by Perkins and KG. Jamal, Corey and Jack will be negated by the defense of Rondo, Allen and Pierce. Game should be done by the 3rd quarter.

CLEVELAND CAVALIERS - 16 - - - Spread is ridiculous, but so are the Cleveland Cavaliers. #1 in the league at point differential meaning they blow the shit out of teams on a consistent basis. Heartbreaking loss for OKC, long plain ride thinking about that loss, will have nothing in the tank as Cavs take this by 20+

ORLANDO MAGIC + 2.5 - - - Once again I have used this theory a few times. Take away home court advantage for a sec and ask yourself who has the better team? The answer is Orlando. It does scare me that Jameer may not play due to a strained groin however I think Anthony Johnson a vet PG will play a productive low turnover game if he does not play. Orlando has taken 5 of the last 6 meetings. After a win ORL is 7-2 and a flawless 4-0 on the road. Should be a close game.

DETROIT PISTONS - 11.5 - - - Who is worst after the trade D Town or New York? Obviously NY. They were woeful last night and I will continue to fade them when I get a chance. This bet is really not for D more then it is against NY. Pistons came off an embarrassing loss at home to Minny and I do think they will be primed and ready to take care of the lowly Knicks.

TORONTO RAPTORS ATS - - - J.O will not play. Trust me on that, don't beleive the American media reports, according to Toronto media he will rest in today and Friday and come back on the weekend. Won't need him, there was only one reason my boys won in Charlotte and that was due to Big Bosh Man. He single handedly won the game in Charlotte and he will again in T.Dot. After a hearbreaking weekend the Raps will want to get the bad taste out of their mouth. watch for Kapono, Parker, Bargnani and Calderon to contribute and hit double figures. No matter what the spread take the Raps.

MIAMI HEAT + 7.5 - - - The Blazers are not a "blow out" team. They should win this, I have it capped at a 4 point win for them. Without Marion this team is still good and will prove it. D Wade will go off against Roy and SF's like Diawara and Joel Anthony who provide under-rated defense and offense will help MIA stay close.

NEW JERSEY NETS + 3.5 - - - Don't feel the Kings at home as a lot of you do, I like their team more then I did at the beginning of the season but I like NJ more. Off a loss in LAL the travel will be minimal to none to Cali. NJ matches up well and should actually win this game SU in Cali.
