Will update my record later.
Cleveland at Orlando. I can't give a good read on both team and even the total. I think Orlando can blow this team out but I've seen the Cavs always trying to play hard even if they're down by a huge margin in the 2nd half. They play with good energy and their bench plays well despite the score. Orlando at home has blown out teams below 0.500 but the persistent Cavaliers will find a way to get that cover. If I'm to pick a side, I'd say the Cavaliers +11.5 or better. 193 seem to be too low. Orlando can definitely blow this team out at home but the way they are playing at the moment. I think we'll see an easy 95 points from Orlando. The question is, if the Cavs can produce 90+ points. If I were to pick, I'd say and UNDER here with the Cavs keeping up on defense with the Magic.
I'm playing the Charlotte Bobcats -3.5 over the Rockets because I think this is one game they could win (and another the next day in Milwaukee). This is because they are steadily achieving their good form in offense. They are defending well now and players' roles have been established. DJ Agustin looks to work well in Larry Brown's system and Jackson is getting his numbers. I think what we're missing is for the "Crash" to turn into "THE BEAST" but I guess we'd have to wait until January were they turned it up last season. Rockets appear to have adjusted with their injuries now and there's no team better than them (and the Warriors perhaps?) who can play better without their core guys. Anyway, Houston just doesn't play well when they can't shoot well and Charlotte is one of the best team in defending the perimeter and in transition. If I have to play a total, I'm going with the UNDER 200.0.
I don't know if the Celtics are interested in some kind of revenge for their loss last Sunday or will they look ahead to the 3 game off after this game and decide to just take it easy. Anyway, I like how the Raptors are playing with so much energy on both ends of the floor and even crashing the boards not to mention that their bench is responding very well. Peja and Bayless produced quality minutes for them in their win against the 76ers. I'm also looking forward to Jose Calderon. 9:1 A-T ratio against 76ers and shot 70% for the game. For the Celtics, Rondo will still be out and so Guard play will be heavy on Ray Ray. I think we'll see the OVER 196.0 hit at the last few minutes of the game with the Celtics pushing to maintain the lead. Raptors isn't really a good team on the road but at least they can keep the lead down. They are like the Cavaliers who's so persistent, I guess it has something to do with euro players who never stops playing until the end of the buzzer. Noticed that on international games where teams keep on running their plays even if they're down by huge margins. Anyway, Toronto Raptors +10.0 is the play here.
Books are still giving ridiculous lines for any Heat games. 5-10-1 ATS and toting a 8-7 card. Until either LeBron or Wade takes the Scottie Pippen role, nothing will happen to this squad. It's almost a "play me" card here with the Heat down 3 in a row and going up against a 3-12 76ers team who has won two in their last 10 games (Miami covered 1 of its last 10 games). I think this is the right time to back them OR I may be wrong. I'm not chasing them, I've faded them the last 3 games and made good money on 2 of 3 unders. As much as I'd like to take the points, I just can't bet on a team who has a hard time beating running teams. The only plus side for the 76ers is that Brand is pretty much rested and can go at them 100% (Heat suck down low and I'd take Brand against Bosh in Miami). A fun fact to throw is that Miami loves to feast on below 0.500 teams. In 8 games, they won 7 and averages a winning margin of 14.9 points. You guys may want to fade me on this one. Miami Heat -11.0.
Indiana Pacers historically owns the Oklahoma City Thunders. In every game the Thunders are able to win against the Pacers, it has always been a close game, and that's been going on for 5 seasons now. I think that explains the short line. Indiana Pacers +1.5 here.
Pacers are playing well now and Darren Collison came back way better than he was after an injury (well at least he turns the ball over less frequent now). Oklahoma isn't a dead bet though, I think it's pretty much a toss coin here. Thunders is off a disappointing loss to the Dallas after giving up the lead in the 4th. Should be a good game to watch with two young and athletic team going at it.
The UNDER 197.0 easily jumps to me when I look at the DAL@SAS game. Dallas is really doing well playing defense en route to a 5-1 road record. I do and will keep on betting on the San Antonio Spurs -4.0 until they start losing again. Both are amazing teams and home court advantage is huge when these two teams both from Texas squares off. Not much stats or trends I searched for. My gut feel is telling me to bet the Spurs. Oh, and the Denver Nuggets -3.0 as well. Bulls looked flat in that game against the Suns until Derrick Rose decided to will his team to win. Anyway, you guys may want to fade me on this one since Bulls are pretty hot ATS and the Nuggets are not. I really like the Nuggets off a long break with their opponent coming from Texas. I had this thing of fading teams coming from Texas then either up to Utah/Denver and vise versa. Something about not adjusting to the air or something. LOL.
Anyway, I have to get going so I'll try to come back and post again but will most likely play both Los Angeles teams +9.5 (clips, griffin should be fun to watch against a team with no interior D) and -1.5 (lakeshow), Grizzlies -7.0, and New Orleans UNDER 189.
What do you think fellas?
BOL.
