LOS ANGELES LAKERS - 4.5 - - - Are you kidding me? Josh Howard may not even play and the Lakeshow are only favored by 5? This is a free one guys. Pound the Lakeshow. the only reason the line is so low is historically the Mavs always play the Lakers very well. Despite that this Laker team is very different now and so is this Dallas team. I suspect that Marc Cuban will dismantle this team by trade deadline. One huge reason why I think this line is idiotic....THE REAL ANDREW BYNUM HAS NEVER PLAYED VS DALLAS. Yes that is right fellas, and who is gonna check him....Dampier? Diop? Dirk....um....no. He played 14 minutes as a rook vs them but we all know he ain't a rook no more. Even if Josh Howard plays I suspect Dallas to fold early. Pau coming off his best game of the season...maybe even as a Laker should play Dirk well. May increase this wager or may play plenty for teasers at PK. Should be a an easy showtime win in Texas.

DENVER NUGGETS - 3.5 - - - This is the first road game for Chancy Billups with the Denver Nugs. As I stated previously he looked a bit nervous for the first time in his latter career. He has not shot the ball well at all but has run the team with precision with plenty of dimes. He will be more at ease on the road with his new team and I suspect will go for 20+ pts and 8+ assists for an easy Denver win. With Chris Anderson on the shelf with fractured ribs more time for Nene and even Renaoldo Balkman gave then offensive rebounds and hustle they much needed for their last win. Denver is deeper, more talented and will take this game in Charlotte.

CHICAGO BULLS - 2.5 - - - Got em 2.5 already at 3. I love the Hawks I really do but the Hawks are not the Hawks without Josh Smith. Granted they have some more depth this season with Evans and Flip Murray this season who are playing very well. I think this game will be close but I suspect Rose to expose the lack-luster defense of Mike Bibby. Gordon, Rose, Tyrus, Noah, Deng, Nocioni will all play well and role-players like Aaron Gray & Gooden (if he plays) will contribute. ATL is 0-4 in their last 4 at CHI and have not won in Jordan's town in over 2 and half years. I think all stats, trends, roster advantage etc. all point towards the Bulls easy cover in my opinion.
