1-0 Sunday. 64-63 YTD. Monday, keeping it short and sweet (posted this earlier but somehow it only appeared under my space as a blog entry):

Chicago Bulls -3.5
Lean: OVER 177.5
I mean, why not right? One of the best road team of the season. Strong lean on the OVER since the Grizz have no problem scoring at home.


Philadelphia 76ers -8.0
Bogut will most likely play but it doesn't matter since the 76ers are at home and playing like a seasoned team. Hawes' back is a lot better and should contribute like he did early in the season. Bucks play them really close last season but I don't see it happening here. I guess it's because of the 76ers' improvement as a team.


Houston Rockets -5.5
Don't think too much here. Rockets suck on the road so we have such "low" line. Fading DC here! If you've been fading them the whole season you'll probably be up by 5 units now.


New Orleans ATS 1Q
Going for 12-1!


Lean: Toronto Raptors +12.5
No Bargnani and yet this team seem to not have any problem scoring. Leaning on the Raptors because it's one too many points for the Hawks to cover.


Oklahoma City Thunder -2.5
Nah. I don't think the Celtics of old will show up. Youth rolls.


Lean: Minnesota Timberwolves -7.0
Minnesota/Sacramento UNDER 192.0
Queens will continue to suck on the road. Making a 4-8 home team a 7-point fave is saying a lot about their opponent. I do believe they run them out but Sacto are so inconsistent that one good night from them may turn it into easy cover. The UNDER is the better play here with both teams combining for 3-11-0 O/U home-road record.


Lean: Los Angeles Lakers -4.0
Lakers are in for a nice TV scheduling. They just played the Clipshow then will play a grudge match against the team who swept them in the playoff, take a break and travel to Florida to play the Heat and Magic. I'm looking forward to the Magic game more than the Dallas-revenge-match. Dwight questioned Kobe whether he still have it in him and you know he doesn't forget.

Anyway, leaning on the Lakers because the Mavs don't have a man in the middle anymore. Last season, Chandler was easily the X-Factor to how they controlled the Lakeshow. With revenge from getting swept in mind, Kobe will drop 40 again and hopefully this time, Pau and Bynum chip in. Lamar will probably be irrelevant again as he was the whole season so far.

BOL.

Don't be. At least you know that one team is really going to play for something and play hard for it.

Spurs 9-0 @ home

That's an opponents record of 36-6 against teams the Rockets lost to on the road this year. It's going to be far fetched to find a team to come out looking good on the road after that lineup as those teams won 86% of their home games so far this season. On another note the Rockets have went 8-1su & 8-1ats in their last 9 road games when being favored. Still think they suck on the road? I don't...

BOL today Milkman

I've looked into that. All the more reason to play the Rockets on such a "low" line.

I actually like my Cats in this situation my friend. Cavs on a really good chance of looking ahead to going back home after a long trip.

I'd love to hear more and look over that trend. It does make sense with the 2nd Q thing with the 76ers. I guess if youre best scorer is coming off the bench, this isn't far from being true.
