Both losses I took I went against the glaring H2H records for the road dogs and it bit me. Honestly, yesterday I should have just taken the day off and saved some units. Didnt really put a decent amount of work in and it cost me a little. Really, really liking NYK, MEM and IND ATS tonight. Gonna finish up the research and look to go pretty big on each. Lets ride!

IND: In this mathcup INDY is 4-2 is the most recent (relevant) matchups, and head to head the home team has dominated. I like INDY's ability to cancel out MIL's perimeter O, and bang it down low consistently. With Monta ellis less than 100%, and Ilyasova out I dont see MIL keeping pace. MIL already has a strangled hold on the East's last playoff slow, and they should not neccessarily be to amped up to play on the road against a tough opponent. The 3rd game in 4 days doesnt help their cause either. At home in this spot IND is 8-3 at home, where as MIL is 2-3 away in this spot. IND for a rock solid night and a steady beat down.
NYK: Knicks have double revenge on their minds after losing two close games againts TOR. As they look to hold onto 1st in their division and riding high off a confidence boosting blow out. In this spot both TOR and NYK hoast winning records following their respective wins/losses last game. What stands out the most to me is NYK's 6-1 away ATS in this spot...TOR is pretty decent following a loss in this spot at 5-2, but I'm feeling very confident the knicks can handle TOR, especially with Melo back and Shumpert cleared to play. It's going to be a relatively close game, but on 1 day of rest teh edge goes to the Knicks!
MEM: After a 1 point win, neither of these teams has a clear edge over the other. But the way MEM is playing, looking to claim home court in the playoffs I can see them taking this game very seriously. In this position MEM is avg. a 5 point win, NO is avg a 5 point loss. The line is set just about right, and I'll take MEM rolling 20-12 away from home ATS vs. N.O. 15-19 home court spread record. Following an emotional confidence building win against arguably one of the best teams in the league I like MEM to keep rolling and embarrass the Pelicans.

Laying 15 units out there tonight to stay on pace for the 5K march. Yesterday I was a little lazy, and didnt give much credit to PHI with Ty Lawson and Wilson Chandler out. In the NBA missing 1 key player, let alone 2 is a kiss of death and I should've known better. That Bulls bet was more of me having faith, and not relying and the cold hard facts. Never again....
Any way, feeling rock solid on my picks tonight...as the paper trail will indicate. If any of these dont hit by an overwhelming cover I'd be shocked. MEM does have a game tomorrow against Boston, but I dont see them as the type of team to "look ahead"..where as New Olreans has to look forward to DEN, Clips, and Heat. The style of ball that they play in new orleans cant really hang with the MEM defense and I think that 1 win that New Olreans got in MEM was lucky. Mem looks to take this series at 3-1, and I love them in this position.
Knicks are looking to continue their winning ways and recover from a humiliating, humbling west coast trip. They will have Shumpert and Anthony, and with TOR's weak bench I dont see the injuries the Knicks have being much of a problem. If they can beat Utah on the road, they should be able to easily win SU vs TOR who is just 17-17 at home. I like the knicks to double dip and take it again at MSG tomorrow too.
Locked, loaded, no turning back. Any thoughts or comments always welcomed. I'm feeling it tonight, tail or fade at your own risks!

ATL/POR - The Blazers are playing 4 games in 5 days. This is especially important due to the heavy reliance on the starters. These guys must be tired going to Atlanta and I think the scoreboard will reflect that. It's also a good match up for Atlanta in general so I like it despite the -8 spread.
PHO/MIN - I'm really leaning towards MIN in this one considering the absence of C Gorat and most likely C O'Neil. The mismatch in the front court is going to be big and I don't think the suns have much of an advantage in the back court either.

Wasnt going to be off this action until I saw that Beal is definitely out, and Okafor is not 100%f. Following a blow out loss of this nature theyre 1-0 at home, 10-5 in LA following a loss. WAS actually covers the spread pretty well on the road...but I dont think after LA's humiliating loss in PHO they;re going to take anyone lightly the rest of the way.
