9-0 Yesterday

Favorite play of the day is the Warriors but due to them being last in the league in rebounding margin (they have no bigs) I don't feel like they can close out any game right now no matter what kind of lead they have and will instead take them as my top play for the 1Q and 1H. Big sandwhich game for the Jazz fighting hard against one of the best teams in the West Clippers in Utah and then travel back home on Saturday to play a revenge game with the Lakers. Sandwiched in between will be playing the Warriors tonight on the road. I don't see them being focused or energetic for this one especially in the first half.

I also like the Hornets to punch the Spurs in the mouth in the early going. The spurs exerted a lot of energy mounting that comeback yesterday against the Rockets and will be looking ahead to the Thunder on Saturday. How will they be focused for a team with the worst record in the west after they've already beat them once this year?

I'm also gonna take a shot with the Hawks in the first half. Very bad spot for the Grizzlies and normally I would make a few other plays on the Hawks today but I don't like the fact that its their first game home from a long road trip. Hopefully it won't bite me in the butt.

Hawks -2 (1H)
Bulls -1 (1Q)
Bulls -2 (1H)
Bulls -3 (hook)
Hornets +2.5 (1Q)
Hornets +5 (1H)
Warriors -1.5 (1Q)
Warriors -2.5 (1H)

Monday: 9-3
Tuesday: 2-1
Wednesday: 9-0

Not a bad spot for the Knicks hence the line being so low but matchup wise they can't compete with the Bulls. Why do you like the Knicks tonight?

Nevermind on the Blazers, (no play) forgot they just won a game by 40+ and the Kings are trying to get out of a 5 game losing streak might come out firing. Will look for a Blazers play maybe come halftime.

goodluck tonight , Im on the bulls and hawks as well. What do you think about the nuggets./clippers matchup tonight? Idk if Im the only one who thinks this but the clippers have been hot lately, I was on the nuggets a few days ago at home against the clippers when they lost a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter. Mind you no Ty Lawson in that game and he will be in the lineup tonight,but I honestly smell a streak here. Clippers play there best ball at home and they are just flat out clicking on all cylinders right now. What do you think?

Also to be honest this seems like one of those lines to scare people from betting the Bulls. If the line opened -5 nobody would play the Knicks as it would be apparent Bulls was the play.

The Bulls are 10-0 ATS since 2008 when they are playing in at least their fourth straight road game and they have no rest and are 13-3 ATS off an upset loss as a road favorite.

Was ready to make a play on the Nuggets earlier today. Clippers have been on run of playing some very hard physical games with the lakers thunder jazz and nuggets and are deemed for a letdown lethargic game soon. Also a revenge game from a very recent matchup is big for Denver. Clippers just seem too hott right now though and I don't have the balls to fade em today but I do think the Nuggets will take this one.

The only worry I have about the Bulls tonight is that they haven't lost back to back games this season yet and it will have to happen to them sometime during the season, The Heat have, The Thunder have. Whatever happens tonight I will most definitely be betting them against the Bucks on Saturday night, Everyone will be riding high on the B Jennings band wagon and just for that we will get a soft line maybe -2.5/3.

Just because they havn't doesn't mean they will. Last time they've lost back-to-back is February 5th of last year. They have a great coach and a very deep team with a lot of pride

Don't love the spot the Hawks are in either with the 1st game back, but take some slight solace in the fact that Memphis is 2-5 SU in the 1st half as a road dog (with the last win occurring a month ago), and the Hawks are 8-2 SU (7-3 ATS) in 1H at home. 

Atl also +7.1 1H differential at home and Mem is -2.8 1H diff on the road.

I had my eye on the Chicago game for a while, I was actually hoping the line to open at near -1/pk. Chicago is off a B2B game on the road and NY is well rested and will have Melo back. Chicago matches up very well against NY. I think Chicago is overvalued here, especially with Deng and Hamilton out.
