Starting a thread early for Friday. 12-12 for the week so far. Lakeshow and Bean town still pending.
Playing Orlando -13.5 for the same reasoning as oddsbuster's post. And throw in the fact that Toronto is allowing 50% FG% in their last 5 games. 45.5 on the road. If you let a team like Orlando to shoot that high of a percentage then it will be all over before the half. The only thing that stops me from unloading a lot on the Magic is that they may let the Raptors back late in the game during garbage time. Oh and throw in a little on the OVER 202.5. It should really go way over.
Indiana shot their hearts out against Denver and I personally would fade that team the next game thinking that the law of averages would get to them. Thing here is that the moment Yao went down and Brooks will be out for a month Houston gets to rely on their bench. Promising as they come, they are yet to prove that they can make a splash right away. Indiana -4.5 is my play here. And yes, I can say they're the better team. Darren Collison can definitely outplay the smaller Smith and Lowry can't get himself a basket. Kevin Martin averages 24.1 ppg but that's all he can do. He gets to play Dunleavy who can easily match his output. Scola is a stud and a 20/10 guy but the Pacers have guys like Hibbert, McRoberts, and Hansbrough who can clog the middle and block shots. This leaves a Danny Granger who tips the scale for a Pacers cover.
I played against them when they visited the Heat saying they're a bad road team. Then, I almost bet against them against the Magic but decided not to because my gut tells me that a double digit dog like the Jazz can still ball even coming from an OT thriller. Now, they're setup on an exciting situation. 3rd game of a road trip after and coming from two come-from-behind wins against tough home teams in the Heat and the Magic. Atlanta, on the other hand, is looking to check a 3 game slide after winning their first 6. I hate to do this but I'm going with the Jazz +4.5/ML here. I definitely think they can do it here. Jamal Crawford is performing horribly at the beginning of the season like last year and they are desperately missing the production of Marvin Williams. I still stand by that the Jazz are better with Okur and Korver being able to space the floor but I guess with Deron having 2 options in the post is a lot better in terms of offensive efficiency. I think the Jazz surprises a lot of people here again and pretty much setup the public for a let down game in their last leg of their road trip against the Bobcats.
For some reasons, the Jordan-owned Bobcats outplays the Wizards. I guess I'm passing this game up. Washington is scary good at home! Wall feeds off the crowd's cheers and they really get him going. Against, smaller guards who could barely defend, he'll have a field time facilitating out there. The Wizards also have enough size to match with the Cats' versatile bigs. I think the line is pretty spot on. I'm also iffy on the total. It could easily go under even with a fast pace in a quarter or two. If I have to make a pick, I'm playing my Bobcats only because I believe Jordan has something to do with this. LOL.

GOOD PICKS! GOING WITH UTAH AND OVER, ALSO ORLANDO AND TEAM OVER ! thinking the team over might be a lil safer! thinking if it is a 110+- 95 game it goes over, but you know sometimes Orlando's D can leave a bad team in the 80's . I dont know how many times i seen Orlando score about 115, then leave their opponent on 85 then it goes under!! BOL EVERY ONE!! LETS GET THIS

I watched parts of the CHA v TOR game and Bargaini and Calderon looked to be able to sink a few shots. The Toronto attack was annoying me in that game.....so many poor shots.
I just think Orlando need a huge first half blitz. I have the game roughly 110-100.

Toronto avg 99 points a game, not saying they cant get it but it wont come easy! Orlando has the toughest D Toronto has seen thus far! The other toughest defensive match up the had was Portland, and Toronto only scored 84! no Kleiza, no Barbosa, and they MIGHT be with out there top rebounder in Evans! 100 might be hard to come by for Toronto!
