CMM's NBA Friday

Dallas Mavericks -5.5
The play is more of one against the Raptors than on the Mavericks. Raptors are pretty much injury-plagued and will have to change their offensive plays to cope up losing Lowry and Bargnani. Raptors will have to turn to their young guns for answers which sets up a good matchup against the vets in the Mavericks. I don't think they are use to running plays on Ed Davis so I expect them to score in the low 80s here. Mavericks have a really decent front court and scrappy to boot. Amir Johnson will be back and can provide the toughness they need down low. Edge is on bench scoring here with Dallas can boast.

Honorable Mention:
Orlando Magic +4.0 - Perfect spot to fade the Warriors. Winning 5 in a row and good upset against the Heat. Magic matches up well against them and just have the right players to turn this one to a shoot out. Warriors are also nearing the end of a very successful road trip so a let down is somewhere out there.

New Orleans Hornets +4.0 - If there's a team that the Hornets can beat, that's the T'Wolves. They have the size in their front court to match them and is playing at home. Anthony Davis should've adjusted to the rotation by now and could yield dividends. Expect this game to go down the wire where the 4 points is pretty huge. Minny always seem to run out of gas come the 4th quarter.

Oklahoma City Thunder -13.0 - Great spot to take back what you lost in their game against the Hornets. OKC seem to almost always run out the Kings.

BOL.

No love for the totals but I like your choices.

Warriors-Magic can run that score up. Both can easily drop 85. With the Warriors nearing the end of their long road trip, I say we see less defense and more running there. OVER is the sensible choices like what you're thinking.

I'm kinda iffy with the total in Milwaukee-Cleveland. I think the Bucks' offense is in funk so it's really hard to cap it atm. Same as for the Cavs, I know they got Irving back but man they need to get more consistency from the rest of the guys. I'm still not sold to CJ Miles yet.

BOL CrazyMilkMan!!!

I like Memphis though they are having trouble in putting up points and looking like they are regressing. Denver is 5-1 at home but look at the teams they've beaten.

I actually love GSW here whether it be public or not. It is their6th road game in 10 days and they are comign off a huge win with 1 days rest. They lost to Orlando back on the 3rd at home, so i see a little revenge shot here. They could have a possible look ahead here to ATL on Saturday but I do not see that being the case as they are playing to good.

Orlando just came off a west coast trip which went 3-2 for them losing at utah and sacramento by a combined 15 pts.  Going to Utah and playing is tough and they only lost by 6.  Their first game back home was 2 days ago vs ATL as a 5 pt dog.  Atl got up quick early by about 14 or so but Orlando shot themselve back into and barely lost.

Steph has his step back, Klay Thompson is playing great as is Landry and Lee.  They should win the battle on the board and get more second chance points. I think this team is for real, and I'll continue to back them.

goodluck cmm. play of the day for me is mem.

i agree with swanman.. i think gsw is legit (until they prove otherwise)

liking the lakers alot but might pass them up

might put up a small wager on toronto. just because i agree with what you said
