Orlando Magic ML

They are technically the better team and have been playing very well of late.  I like the Bulls and how they match up against Orlando...but anytime you can get a solid value play like this...you take it.

Prediction:  Magic 104  Bulls 98
RIsk:  2 units to win 2.3 units

Boston Celtics -2 1st Quarter

Probably a typical Celtics home game coming in this one.  Good start...shitty 2nd quarter...good 3rd quarter...shitty finish.  Possible push for the game.

Prediction:  Celtics 25  Blazers 20
Risk:  1.1 units to win 1 unit

I would have thought that about them last night...but they sucked ass against the Sixers.  If they can only put up 79 against Philly...what will they do against a good defense like the Celtics?

LA Lakers vs. Houston Rockets OVER 204.5

PLAY OF THE DAY.  The Lakers have lost 3 in a row as well know.  What shocks me about that fact is that it hasn't exactly been against the cream of the crop as far as competition.  The Jazz are a damn good team and playing in Utah is never easy....but losing to the Pacers and Grizzlies after that?  Scoring only 95.5 points per game in the last 4?  That is not the Lakers team that I know.  Tonight is the perfect opportunity for them to get back on track.  Everyone in the free world is going to be jumping on them once again for the spread...but I don't trust that yet.  The Rockets allow 110.1 points per game against the Western Conference...seems like a good number for the Lake show to get to tonight.

Prediction:  Lakers 110  Rockets 101
Risk:  2.2 units to win 2 units

Prediction:  Jazz 106  Pacers 94
Risk:  1.1 units to win 1 unit


They have been on the west coast and flight from Sacramento to Utah is like 90 minutes tops...

I would stay away since Memphis just played an emotional game last night.  I think they have this one set just right

Eastern Conference @ Western Conference is what I meant.  I know it's not a huge travel trip...but it's a non-conference road game.

Atlanta Hawks 1st Quarter ML

The Grizzlies have been impressing some people out there...but I'm a little more reluctant.  They have been hanging out at home quite a bit this past month.  8 of their last 11 games have been at home...and their last three road games they have lost.  After their damn good victory last night against the Lakers...I really can't see them coming out incredibly strong in this one

Prediction:  Hawks  26  Grizzlies 19
Risk:  1.5 units to win 1 unit

Washington Wizards vs. Toronto Raptors UNDER 51.5 1st Quarter

Wizards averaging 22 points on the road to start off games, while the Raptors are averaging 24 points in the 1st quarter.  Reggie Evans out for the Raptors...Wizards bringing back some people...will take a little time to get used to the flow.

Prediction:  Raptors 22  Wizards 20
Risk:  1.1 units to win 1 unit
