Mak's Make It Back Money Monday

The new year has not been good to me, looking to get it back tonight and start the week off strong.  As always, wishing you the best of luck on your picks no matter what side you are on.  Peace out - - - Mak

SAN ANTONIO SPURS - 3.5 - - - Spurs are not to be taken lightly.  Granted the Heat are playing exceptional ball and really and truly at this point in the season MY pick for MVP is Dwayne Wade for the sheer fact that without him this team would have 5 wins max.  Nevertheless the Spurs are the better unit right now.  Spurs are 14-5 since NOV 28th and that is when Timmy, Tony and Manu were together as a unit.  They are the best three point team by percentage in the NBA and Miami cannot defent the perimeter very well.  San An is 9-2 straight up against the heat when the big three are healthy and I suspect revenge factor to be big hear since MIA dismantled them earlier in the season when they were not healthy.  Spurs merk it tonight fellas.

SACRAMENTO KINGS + 4 - - - K Mart is back baby.  Kevin Martin is a legitimate star in this league.  He was a top league leader in scoring last season and do not underestimate the effect of a star player on a team.  He can impact any team right now and he will help the Kings.  The Raps and Kings are the most attractive option for a coach looking for a new team.  Both teams have imense young talent and some good scorers.  I will be ridiing Sac Town for a little while.  With scorers like Garcia, Salmons and Martin alongside a front court of Brad Miller, Spencer Hawes and youngster Jason Thompson this team has depth.  Not to mention guards like Udrih and Jackson can impact any game.  I suspect a Mikki Moore to have a decent game back in his old stomping ground and I suspect the Nets home struggles to continue tonight against the Kings.

TORONTO RAPTORS + 8.5 - - - No fellas, not a fan bet...but could be just as worst as a fan bet.  I am actually betting against the Bucks on this one as I bet em against the Cats and they were just woeful.  Watched the game and they shot horrible adn their defense was horrible, no court awareness and they really pissed me off.  So not a fan bet for my boys but more a bet against the pitifully inconsistend Bucks.  Raps showed they are not as bad as you all though by beating Orlando and Houston two teams destined for the 2nd round of the NBA Playoffs this year.  Ukic, Soloman, Graham, Bargnani, Parker all have the confidence right now.  Raps should cover with ease + excellent teaser option.

UTAH JAZZ - 9.5 - - -  Jazz men are as dangerous a tema at home as any in the NBA. Lost a few at home but at full strength I do not see them losing more then 2-3 more at all at home this entire season.  When Boozer comes back this team will be very deadly.  I am not too sure why D Will is listed as probably on the Covers site.  He was quoted as saying he doesn't even think about the ankle anymore, no pain at all.  I am sure he will play and play well.  Deron has been firing it up the last week and seems to be back to himself.  The actually suspect the Warriors to be at full strength minus Ellis.  Corey should play but even with a full team I do see a double digit victory for the very deep and talented Utah Jazz.

Yea boy, this line is wack.  Been doing some research and it looks like this is a gift at + 8.5 and a steal and moneyline.  Only Jose Calderon is out for Toronto.  Jermaine will play and I hear Bogut is officially out for the night.  Take it from a die hard fan, the absence of Jose is big but with Roko Ukic and Will Soloman playing at their peek in confidence, they will play Ridnour and Session well.  Gadzuric and Charlie can't handle Jermaine and Bosh.  Redd and Jeff will be checked by Parker and Moon some underated defenders and I really think the + 8.5 is a gift.  Think what you want, may be a combination of a fan bet, stats and of course daddyphatsacks is on the bet, mr glitz and glamor only works for the high rollers but is nice enough to take the time to post to us peasents once in a while is on the Raps too :)  Shout out to daddyphatsacks, you wanted attention right?  You got it homie, you better be right money.  Raps officially my POD with the addition of the wagers below.  Best of luck fellas.  LET'S GO RAPTORS !!!

RAPTORS + 8.8 - - - 5.5 UNITS ADDED (TOTAL 9.9 UNITS)

RAPTORS MONEYLINE - - - 3.2 UNITS

The Detroit News is telling me that Jose Calderon is expected to miss the game with a hamstring strain ........this explain the 8 points

Mak - that rap bets scares me.  Every time I bet against my Bucks, they cover! 

the raptors are the best bet on the board! andrew bogut is out and he's their leading rebounder and shot blocker which means chris bosh and jermaine o'neal will gobble up most of the boards and will score inside all night against that "scrub" dan gadzuric"! gonna be a long night for milwaukee. i see toronto winning outright but the +8.5 is a gift!!!

no tor ML?  +340 

LADADDY - - - GL Ladaddy!

B2B - - - If you actually read my writeup you would know I stated that Jose out does not constitute the 9 point win for the Bucks.  Incorrectly capped tonight brotha.  Raps just beat the 4th best team in the league without him or J.O.

TMP - - - Long time no see TMP, scares me too.  I am 1-3 on my last 4 Raps bet and 1-4 in my last 4 Bucks bets :(

DADDYPHATSACKS - - - BOL to you bud.

MCBUCKETS - - - OSU ML?  What is OSU.  Is it NCAAB or NCAAF? I would't go with Raps ML. The 8.5 is the money bet tonight. Go for the spread not the ML, ML for me is strictly a fan bet.  BOL to you.

COWBOYS - - - What do you mean no ML braddah? Got $320 on the Raps ML home boy. BOL to you, at +340 even a little is a good wager, but the points ATS is a much better way to go.

PK - - - Thanks bud GL to you as well.

GL Mak!  your picks are always informative and helpful to covers members.   really like the TOR+8, i think its a giveaway, they just beat a strong orlando team without calderon.  get dat paper!

Sorry you got on the Raps man...That was a BS game....
