Not trying to give myself a virtual BJ here, but rather bring more quality to this place. Not that is sucks now, but most topics and predictions lack any kind of view other than posting your plays.
I have been making profit with my NBA plays 8 years in a row now with an average yield close to 5% (considering the turnover its solid). What I will do here is post my plays, but always with few paragraphs of explanations why I think it is a good bet. I personally think if you cant put up reasoning behind your bet better than "its my gut feeling" you probably should not take it. So, please, follow me or do not follow me, but if you feel like posting just your play here ... go ahead under some other topic.

Perfect spot for the Pacers to have a bounce back game. Not that a record of 16 wins and 2 losses needs a bouncing back, but losing their last game against the Trailblazers probably bothers them enough to come out with enough energy. Actually Indiana played a solid game against the T`Blazers, but this Portland team is just clicking right now and they are tough team to beat in Rose Garden (yeah it is named Moda Center now, but that just sounds wrong).
Utah had a good win against the Rockets, but played against the team that had no defensive effort and missed 2 key pieces. Of course the Jazz for some unknown reason (HOU "full-heart" effort) also made most of their shots going 43-79 from the field. Against the Pacers that define their team with a strong defense it will be a much different story. So expect the Jazz boys who 2 nights ago made their open looks to feel like running against the brick wall cause those shots will now be contested.
Indiana to cover -8.5 points @2.02 is the play here. With 5/10 unit stake.

Indiana managed to cover the line so 1-0 as of now.
Thursday`s play:
Memphis vs Clippers
This game means a bit more than just a usual regular season game. Those two teams met in the first round of the play-offs last year and the Clippers want to avenge that loss. It could be the perfect game for them, since Memphis is without Gasol and could still be without Randolph.
Randolph is day-to-day after missing two games due to ingrown toenail surgery performed Saturday. Gasol is expected to be out at least another month with a sprained knee. Also Tony Allen is dealing with hip injury, but he is expected to play. Those 3 players are absolutely the key players for this Grizzlies team. Memphis has been struggling a lot so far. Their record of 9-8 and currently outside the top 8 in the West is not what was expected. Probably even bigger struggles have happened on the court.
The Clippers have a record of 12-7, but have had that on/off switch which has made their performances change from great to awful and back to great on a nightly basis. They lost their game yesterday against the Hawks. Good news is that Chris Paul is back in the lineup. Maybe the best game Memphis played this year was against the Clippers. They did win 106-102, but they had Randolph, Allen and Gasol playing at their full strength. Something that they will not have tonight. Clippers to win is the call - 5/10 units is the bet.

Boston Celtics is currently 4th seed in the Eastern Conference and that`s only because they are the best of the worst teams in Atlantic Division (division winner gets at least the 4th spot). Now by the record of 8-12 they would be 8th and guess what ... it is still a way too high for the Celtics team. They want to lose more to get more draft balls cause being a smart organization they understand that being mediocre never works in this league. Either you play for the title or you bottom out.
To be honest last time Boston won a meaningful game was against the Heat on November 9th. After that they have got beaten (read: killed) by the good teams who play to win and have managed to collect some random wins against the teams that are just bad or going nowhere.
Denver is playing great at the moment and they have been hot winning 7 games in a row before losing to Cleveland on Wednesday. It is a tough spot for the Nuggets playing 6th away game form last 7 games, but the Nuggets will be the team with motivation and energy here while Boston will probably do their best to make it sure they will lose it. Denver -4.5 with 6 units.

This bet is about the Pelicans not having Anthony Davis due to broken
hand injury. Without his inside presence all that is left for the
Pelicans offensively is outside shooting (Anderson, Gordon, Holiday) and
at the other end without Davis they will concede drives to the basket
and layups. That means both teams have their defensive weaknesses where
the opponent has their strengths, which should result to up tempo
high-scoring affair.
The Pelicans have scored a lot of points in recent games. Since
November 13th their totals are: 105 (UTH), 135 (PHI), 105 (UTH), 104
(CLE), 93 (SAS), 101 (GSW), 121 (PHI), 103 (NYK), 103 (CHI) and 97
(DAL). So over last 10 games their scoring average is 106,7 points. That
beats their season scoring average 103,4 points by 3 points.
OKC has a scoring average of 103,7 points and has scored 103,4 points
per game over the last 10 games, so yeah statistically 207,5 points
makes sense. But Durant and Westbrook will drive a lot against the
Pelicans knowing that the Pelicans don`t have the rim protection, they
will get layups and freebies while the Pelicans will take a lot of
outside shots. If the field goal shooting percentages stay anything
close to normal, this game should go over 207,5 points easily. 5/10
units.

What are your thoughts on Wizards/Bucks? The Bucks have had 2 B2B games this week and this game will be the start of their third B2B. Can Wizards cover?

If I had gun pointing my head I would actually take Bucks to cover, but this is such a no bet game.
From other bets I semi-like ORL to beat NYK. I know ORL is bad and all, but ever since Big Baby returned they have played better basketball and now NYK all the sudden after winning 1 game and beating team with no heartbeat are such a favorites? I dont get it, really. Not taking it (happy with my 2 bets) ... but if I had to pick 3rd bet tonight it would be ORL to win @2.71

Awful night. Went 0-2. Denver dig a nice hole and never fully recovered and Pelicans shot 37% and 18% 3-pointers. Overall record is 2-2
Play for the upcoming night ...
Bucks vs Nets
A game that will draw 0 interest and about the same number of
spectators. That of course does not mean we should not bet on it.
Looking at the standings you realize that it will be the meeting between
the 2 worst teams in the Eastern Conference, Milwaukee is 4-15 and
Brooklyn who once was considered to be one of the threats for the Heat
have a record of 5-14.
Milwaukee just won a game though. Being a 6 point underdog they managed
to beat the Wizards in an away game. At the same time Brooklyn Nets
just keeps losing and losing in a blowout fashion. The Nets have lost 8
of their last 10 games, 4 of their last 5 games and 3 of them by not
even showing up: 95-114 (@HOU), 87-111 (vs DEN) and 83-113 (vs NYK).
They did get some serious booing in last 2 home games so in that sense
playing away might not be a bad thing.
Brooklyn needs Deron Williams back as soon as possible. It will still
take probably couple of games. Until then Brooklyn will be the team
without the heartbeat. They will also miss Paul Pierce, Andrei Kirilenko
and Jason Terry tonight. Both of those teams are bad, but the Bucks
just won a game and will play in front of their home crowd. They should
cover +3 points. 4/10 units.

This is the first meeting between two teams since the Eastern Conference
finals few months ago when the Heat managed to overcome the Pacers in 7
games and later win the NBA title. In general the Eastern Conference
looks really weak, but those two teams. One could actually argue that
Indiana and Miami are currently 2 strongest teams in the league.
That all said it is obvious that this game tonight means more than just
an average game in their schedule. Indiana has the better record, but
they want to validate it by beating the Heat. Miami on the other hand
wants to prove that its them who still own the league and no matter the
record they can beat the Pacers in a basketball game.
Last year the Eastern Conference finals ended with games being a
dogfights and low-scoring affairs. Last 3 games had a scoring totals
between 175 to 180 points. Expect it to look something similar tonight
while teams will do their best to limit opponents at the defensive end
and then try to score playing half-court offense. Under 190 points is
our bet with 5/10 stakes

It has been awful for the Jazz. Their record is 4-19, they have won 1 away game and lost 10, they have lost 4 games in a row and have had no chances in any of those games. They actually played the Kings 5 days ago and lost by 10 points although they had their home court advantage in that game. Playing the Kings away should not make it any easier. Some of their fans (like the one you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoFNRHXEtaA) are unhappy, but there`s no big reason to cry - tanking for the draft balls goes through pain and tears.
Sacramento does not have a much better record (6-13), but they have played a better basketball. Some of their losses have been in close fights and although realistically their hopes for the play-offs are dead already they still play to win the games. Trading for Rudy happy shows that they still want to win now and give it a fight. Changes in the roster usually help short term, so expect the Kings to have a solid performance in front of their home crowd tonight.
The Jazz will not have Marvin Williams and Derrick Favours is listed as a game-time decision. With our without Favours the Jazz will struggle against the Kings and Sacramento should win this game by a comfortable margin. -7.0 points with 5/10 stakes.

One of the best teams if not THE best team will play against a mediocre team in the East. Better team plays at home - this should be nothing other than a full scale blowout here.
Indiana (19-3) managed to beat the defending champions couple of nights ago. Usually after emotional win teams tend to mail in and not give their best effort in next game, but expect it to be a different with this Pacers team. They are too smart of a team, too well coach and they play at home. They have been talking about importance of getting the highest seed in the East to secure home court advantage against the Heat for the possible Conference Finals match up and they know joking around with weaker teams could prove to be costly at the end of the regular season.
Charlotte actually is 5th seed in the East at the moment with a record of 10-12. But of course the difference between top 2 teams in the East and rest of pack is just huge at the moment. the Bobcats have a a very favorable schedule with their last wins coming against BOS, CLE, BKN, MIL, MIL, PHI, GSW. So their record does not tell the full story about their quality. Those two teams met n Charlotte couple of weeks ago and Indiana safely won the game 99-74. Expect them to cover tonight as well. -12.0 points with 5/10 units.

Los Angeles Clippers have a record of 15 wins and 9 losses, while the Wizards are 9-12. The difference between those two teams is actually bigger since the Clippers have much tougher schedule playing in the Western Conference than it is for the Wizards playing in the East.
The Clippers keep having that on/off switch which makes their performances vary from great to awful and back to great on a nightly basis. The key here is that they are at the back end of their long road trip. 7th away game in a row after two emotional games for the coach (in BOS and vs KG/Paul Pierce) should take its toll. It`s likely we will see some tired legs and missed shots. The Clippers have scored 97, 101, 82, 94, 96 and 93 during that road trip, which makes it an average of 93,8 points per game.
Handicap line actually suggests that the Clippers should be 4 points favorites here. If that`s true their efforts starts from the defensive end. The Wizards have their best player John Wall matched up against CP3, who will most likely take it personally to keep him in check. The wizards are averaging 93 points over their last 6 games. So expect this game to be a low-scoring slug fest that will end somewhere around 185-190 points as a total. Under 193.5 points seems like a good option here with 4/10 units.

3-6 record and i am as cold as polar bear`s a$$ ... hope to change it soon.
Detroit vs Portland
Portland is as hot as it gets at the moment. They have a winning record of 20 wins and 4 losses, they have won 3 games in a row and 8 from last 10 games and they just scored 139 points in previous game.
The Pistons have a solid record going 11-13 at the moment. Solid when you play in the East that is. In the Western Conference that kind of a record would leave them way out of the play-off spot. Portland of course is leading in the West so you get the idea about the gulf separating those two teams in reality. Detroit has had some struggles lately. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games including couple of blowout losses against Miami and Minnesota.
It is a second meeting between those 2 teams this season. The Trailblazers managed to beat the Pistons 109-103 when they met in Portland. The trailblazers seem to run a hot streak. Although they play 2nd night in a row expect them to boss the game and cover the -4.0 points. 5/10 units.

Both teams like to play up tempo games and sometimes tend to go to the "score as much as you want we will score more" mode. The Thunder have some low post defenders, but the Nuggets are not looking to score inside, but prefer to take outside shots.
OKC has 6 game winning streak and they have found it easy to score lately. Over the last 7 games Thunder has gone over 100 points in all of them scoring: 104, 109, 118, 101, 116, 122 and 101 points. That makes it an average of 110 points per game. As said before its not like the Nuggets will come out to stop that scoring, but their style of play will rather help the Thunder to keep it going.
When those 2 teams met first time this season the game ended with a score 115-113. That said, teams didn`t even shoot with a spectacular field percentage. Oklahoma City score 40,9% from the field and Denver shot 48,2%. That should give you an idea what kind of a game those two teams will play tonight. Expect it to go over 207.5 points. 5/10 units.

3-7 record (I am probably only one left to believe I can turn this around)
Miami vs Indiana
This is the second meeting between two teams in 1 week. A week ago the
game ended with some bad blood and words being exchanged before the
buzzer sounded. It also is a rematch of an Eastern Conference finals few
months ago when the Heat managed to overcome the Pacers in 7 games.
It is obvious that this game tonight means more than just an average
game. Indiana wants to get their revenge for last season play-off loss
and prove that they can beat the Heat in Miami also. Since LBJ could be
out with an ankle sprain this is a good spot for them to succeed in it.
Miami on the other hand wants to prove that last weeks loss was more of
an accident than anything else.
Last year the Eastern Conference finals ended with games being a
dogfights and low-scoring affairs. Last 3 games had a scoring totals
between 175 to 180 points. Last week`s the game ended with a score
84-90. So 16 points below tonight`s line. Lebron could be sitting out
this game and that directly affects Miami`s offensive game. Under 190
points is the bet with 5/10 stake.
