Went 5-1-2 Wednesday with 2 more pending. So far we're at a 7-4-3 week. Let's start capping:
New York Knicks +2.5 / ML
If it weren't for the Cats pulling one on them (which they did against the Pacers Wednesday night as well) Knicks should've been on a 5 game winning streak. Anyway, this team looks pretty decent in those wins and they are actually playing good ball. Chicago's demise continues as they struggle to find a consistent scorer within them. Defense and rebounding has not been a problem for the young bulls but definitely they need consistency from Deng and Rose. Salmons also need to wake up and bring his offensive game on. As much as I'd like to see the Bulls turn the 8-15 record they have around I think it's smart to put my money on a decent 12-12 ats team against a 6-15-2 (3-6-2 at home) team. Knicks, if ever they will be looking ahead, will be playing the Clippers at home the next day. Bottom line, I'm playing the Knicks because they come pretty solid against a team who only finds consistency in inconsistency. Also looking at a possible UNDER play.
Orlando Magic -4
Like rod_steel's post, I'll be on the Magic in all their December games because of a very favorable schedule. Anyway, I believe this won't be another nail biter like the 11/25/09 game with Wade pulling the Heat through. Magic balls the Heat on the get go and this shouldn't even be a serious contest. Orlando is on a bad schedule playing 3 in 4. 3-2 ATS on b2b games compared to the Heat's 6-9 ATS after a day of rest. Magic and its depth should pull through here as Orlando plays the Heat well as seen in their previous matchups. Playing the team that just won 8 of its last 10 against the Heat who has won 3 of their last 10.
Phoenix Suns +3 @ Portland Trailblazers
At first I thought this game's a no play zone. The line suggests total Suns ML and ATS action here but If you look at past matchups and each teams' recent outings you'd understand why the line is set like this. I like the Suns here because of their performance against the Spurs and that the Blazers are hurting. Sleeping on this one because there's just something weird about this game and the spread.
BOL.
