As far as the spread of DET -6 is concerned.....both teams need this win,so it will definitely be a dog fight....its obvious ORL needs the win more to keep from going fishing,so they should be the aggressor....from me being a athlete,i know that hamstring injuries are serious as hell, and have to heal on their own.....cant be rushed, so i doubt Billups play....which is why Detroit needs this win also....Detroit understands that if they win this game, that will give Billups a week to rest as well as the other veterans.....however if Detroit loses then most likely that will force Billups back in the line up for game 6 on thursday ,which he would not be 100% in. This year detroit is 3-1 ats at home against Orlando including the postseason....but in the two games without Billups, Orlando is 1-1 ats....although both games were played in orlando, they only loss by 1 point last game in which they were favored -5.5.Tommorow orlando is listed as a +6 underdog in detroit.

the most logical pick would have to be ORLANDO....but if DEtroit takes them out of their game, detroit will cover easy.....

ORLANDO +6 with a half point buy(small)

OVER(BIG)

Stappy, all your posts either thank people or blast people for their picks. You bring no value to this site whatsoever. If you are here just to get advice, then just read, don't post. If you lose, don't cry and don't blast people. You are obviously not good enough to make your own picks, or don't have the guts too, so don't blast people who have the conviction to have a strong opinion on a game.

No pick on this contest tonight. Like NO -3.5 in the other game though. I just had to comment to on this low-class leech. If you want guaranteed money invest in low yield bonds you dork.
