I had an excellent night last night. I actually went 7-0 (5-0 NBA, 1-0 NFL, 1-0 NCAAB)
12/08/08 5-0-0 100.00% +1700 NBA
There are 9 games on tap for tonight, but I am only doing 8 of them. I am a huge Lakers fan so I do not bet on their games.
Toronto at Cleveland -11 No need for a write up. Cleveland is on fire, ride the flames. Cleveland -11
Detroit at Washington +4.5 Neither team is good ATS. Detroit is simply a better all around team. Washington has been playing better lately but I just don't think they have enough to beat Detroit. Washington is being outscored by almost 6 points at home. Detroit outscores opponents on the road. Detroit -4.5
Utah at Minnesota +4.5 Yet another game with the difficult 4.5 spread. Utah has a lot of injuries but they do have D-Will back. Minnesota is missing Miller and Corey Brewer. The TWolves are dreadful ATS. They are being outscored by almost 7 at home. Utah has feasted on the lottery teams this season. Utah -4.5
NY Knicks at Chicago -8 Two middle of the pack teams and Chicago is laying 8 points? Wow. These teams are not too far off. NY is being outscored by almost 3 on the road and Chicago is outscoring opponents by almost 2 at home. Neither team has a defense. NY averages 104.00 on the road, Chicago averages 102.56 at home. I think Chicago will win, but not by 8. Still, the over might be the safer play. NY Knicks +8 (of course I don't do safe)
San Antonio at Dallas -1.5 The Spurs have their big 3 back. Josh Howard is doubtful for Dallas. The Spurs were smacked like a redheaded step child in early November. Time for some revenge. San Antonio +1.5
Atlanta at Houston -4.0 I will just get to the point. Atlanta has J Smith back. Houston may not have Artest and they are missing McGrady. Do you remember how well Atlanta was playing until Smith got hurt? Atlanta +4
Milwaukee at Phoenix -6.5 Milwaukee is one of the best ATS. They are not going to outscore anybody or even scare the upper echelon teams. But night in and night out, their games are coming down to the wire. Phoenix is still searching for an identity. Hell I'm still searching for their identity. Everytime I jump on their bandwagon, they smack me in the head and knock me off. I'm going to ride the ATS wave. Milwaukee +6.5
Orlando at Portland -5 By far, the best game of the night between two very good offenses and defenses. If this game was being played in Florida, I wouldn't have thought twice about picking Orlando. But, Portland is an absolute beast at home (they beat N.O by 15 and smoked Miami by 800). I tried to do this from a purely numbers standpoint. Orlando averages 99.43 points on the road and outscores opp. by 6 pts. Portland averages 101.71 and outscores opp. by 8.39 at home. The FG%s are similar. The turnovers are similar. The defenses are similar. Orlando is playing a back to back. Portland is coming off a long road trip with two days rest. I'm just going to go with gut. Orlando +5

The rebounding is not similar. Check that fact and add the fact Howard played 43 minutes last night and this is why Portland is the play if you ask me.
