YTD: 178-166. Still sitting at 51.7% looking to at least finish close to 54 by the end of the regular season. Time to be a bit moer omptimistic. Throwing quick writeups as well for a change.
Minnesota -5.5
T'Wolves are playing back to back games but it doesn't matter. It only makes them sharper (9-7 ATS on 0 day rest) as to the Cat's measly 8-15 ATS after a day of rest. My Cats are done and the Wolves are still gunning for a playoff finish this season. Bismack is a promising center but he's the only one who can decently guard Love but let's face it. It will be close to impossible since Kevin Love usually goes far out taking out Biyombo from the paint where he's lost. Sad to say it but my Cats get on their futile season even into this game.
Detroit +1 / ML
I think this one's the best play for Wednesday. Cavs are undersized and relies on the rookie T.T. to bang down. Cavs' front court will have a long night against the bigger and taller Detroit front court. Rodney Stuckey back in the mix and Jamison falling out of form just adds up to a Detroit advantage. Pistons' have lost a couple on (5 straight) before being lucky in Washington while the Cavs are experiencing scoring drought barely passing 90 points their last 3 games. The road team is a much better team now than when they played earlier in the season. This team will have a bright future if they continue to buy into Lawrence Frank's defensive stimulus.
Utah Jazz +4.0
I know the Celtics is a good team at home and after a rest. Jazz playing the 3rd game on the road (8-17) which currently holds the exact opposite of Boston's home record but they are on a roll winning 8 of its last 10. I think this surge is from the re-emergence of Devin Harris' playmaking (still the horrible shot selection) and Gordon Hayward's AK-47 like plays. Anyway, I think the streaking Jazz keep this one close and score a cover. Everything would change if Ray Allen plays so stay tuned before throwing a ball in.
Pacers -5.5
Nets are horrible. Don't kid yourself that this one is a let down spot after winning by 15 against the Heat.
BOL.
