Fell back a bit yesterday with the Knicks and Warriors. Wasn't close on the Knicks, and the Warriors just ran out of steam against a tough physical team. I still think the Warriors are the best team in the league by a wide margin.

Atlanta vs Cleveland OVER 201 ($110 to win $100)

Atlanta plays a faster style game, the Cavs play a faster style game at home and are well rested. Revenge game for the Hawks as they got spanked the last time these two played...so I expect them to be competitive tonight.

Prediction: Cavaliers 108 Hawks 104

Boston Celtics -3.5 ($110 to win $100)

Normally I stay away from Celtics picks...but this line is solid. They are a very streaky team...and I don't expect them to follow up a win over the worst team in the league with a loss against another bad team. Magic have been away from home forever, and they get to go back after tonights game. They had little to no effort last night against the Raptors, and I expect a similar situation again tonight.

Prediction: Celtics 99 Magic 88

Brooklyn Nets +11 ($110 to win $100)

I just don't see the Raptors beating up on the Nets by this many points. Nets have been competitive in the past couple games...and Raptors don't have as much offensive explosion capabilities without DeRozan.

Prediction: Raptors 105 Nets 98

That line was put up for a reason. Raps at home could easily blow any team out and that includes the Nets.

Bold statement here. Going to have to disagree here. GSW Can't beat the Spurs. Lost to them at home. Spurs have this teams number. I think OKC is also better than this team. They are unproven in playoffs. If they can at least reach Western conference finals then we can talk about them being one of the best teams. Regular season means nothing. BOL

GL tonight CMJ.

I don't understand your line about Orlando being away from home forever. They have had two home games in the past two weeks. I had a chance to watch Orlando on Friday and Saturday and this team is a lot better than their record indicates. Boston had two terrible losses to Charlotte and NYK before the Philly game. This one seems like a toss up to me with a lean towards Orlando who is 7/11 on the road

Plus 75% of the pub is on Boston, that's usually the kiss of death in itself.

Totally agree. Your reasoning for taking the Celtics holds no basis. Orlando also had a 8 point lead on Toronto at half, had a horrible second half and will surely come out strong tonight. And again, they didn't play last night in Toronto, nor have they been on the road forever.
