Now to the games. The Clips. I personally think that the best spot to go against the Clippers SU will be after the let down experienced following their first loss. They have a very difficult stretch including 4 games and I will take that stretch as a whole. Tomorrow's game @GS and day after the game against LAL followed by a hosting GS - that is the stretch the loss will come in. Although I like the Nuggets to get their revenge today - better bet is Over as the Nuggets can't repeat at home what they did in Memphis. Revenge for the Christmas day loss is also due. So Over I'm going to play and lean Denver. Strongest play thou is Dallas today as they are really coming off a most difficult games they could have and Washington simply is not as good a team as Dallas at this spot. That is my strong lean.
as for clips, what makes u think this game gonna go over?
BOL to you today and happy new year!

New Orleans +2. Like what I saw in Gordon. Looks like heavy public on Atlanta yet line is dropping.
Liking Denver a little although the over could be a solid play here. See where the lines go.
Like the Mavs a little at -4. Not many road teams laying points to play on a 6 game losing streak, but they have had a brutal stretch. (Miami, Memphis, San Antonio, OKC, Denver, and San Antonio). I like them to get well against an awful Wiz team.
Also like Lakers. Sixers caught in middle of 8 game road trip after a night in LA before a game against the Lakers.
These are all leans for discussion. I will most likely be playing NO soon, but interested in the threads thoughts. I may track some of my own picks in a new thread, so I don't keep muddying this, but will keep posting here as well.
GL everyone.
I like the first 3 leans and thinking the same. Little weary about the Sixers dropping another one here.
cheer

SAC/DET OVER196 and a half-Sacramentos last 4 games total has been 200 or more....earlier when they played this year total was 208....this one deff still a lean for now...
ATLANTA-2....I wonder what this line would be if NO had ended up losing to Orlando and Eric Gordon was still injured.....I know neither is the case but I dont put that big of a line switch for those two things happening....In other words I feel like this line should be higher which bothers me...But Atlanta should be able to dominate here....Sometimes when putting things in perspective you do have to look at win loss....NO just came off 11 straight losses...then won 2/3 but against Charlotte and Orlando w/o Glen Davis...Eric Gordon will help but I think Atlantas just a better team right now...ATL last 4 games scored 102, 104, 109, 126.....Only thing that keeps this a lean for now....is EGordon and the fact that NO hast been in a ton of close games in the last 15 games....
I think that over in LA is a bit dangerous of a play. True the Lakers are scoring a lot in LA but the Sixers will come to close the game and won't run today. At least that is how I see that. But - GL on that play if its a final.
Did not yet formulate my own opinion on totals in Detroit. You may very well have a point there.
For me it's either the Hornets, or a play at the HT in NO.

I already stated that the Nuggets will have to run to overshoot the Clips and Paul if they wanna have a chance. The Nuggets aren't exactly the defensive team of the year

There are games that the line movement can only be applied to influence the public thinking the game is going a certain way. Rare - but happens. To balance the one sided bets.

The line drop in NO can be either on the Hornets covering the full game or at the least the first half. Because if the Hawks will run ahead - I do not see the Hornets coming back. But if that will happen anyway - I will take most probably the Hornets in a second half.
Final:
NO Hornets First Half +1 (-110) 110$

i like the dallas bet....only thing thats tough about it is the fact that I'm not so worried about dallas and their losses but rather how much they have lost by in the games.....but i'm still rolling with it
The harder I think about the Atlanta/NO game the more I think I might just leave that game alone....I like Atlanta more right now but:
Its hard to range an opinion about NO when we havent seen their true starting 5 play together for long enough. Also it is difficult pick because like i mentioned b4 NO plays in a ton of close games in the last 15 so they are atleast tough enough to stay with decent teams....idk still thinking about this one....but might leave alone
CLIPS/NUGS over I have been thinking about for a while....Its weird cause i know it will be a huge slughouse with two running teams...I do know that if the game started with the clippers up by 15...the game would prob end up with 225 points...lol unfortunately it doesnt start that way...but i like over a little more then the under...and if you end up liking it alot I will take it Mavin
Sac/Det game is pretty interesting with the over...If the game was in Sac I would probably secure a final with the over but I am not so sure with it in Detroit....though last game they really ran with the Heat.......btw Mavin I dont make any picks final till around gametime so I can watch lines, opinions, study more and most importantly hear from you haha
I still feel pretty good wiht the LA/PHILLY over....I know Phillys D at times has the ability to slow games down....but with LA at home there is no question to me what kind of way they are gonna play...its run, especially now with NASH up top.....idk I see a better scenario of Philly getting down by ten and having to run with LA....so i still have a good lean on that one

Huge Lakers fan? I hope you didn't get an ulcer lately. There is a great spot in two days for the Lakers in Staples Garden. Because the Clips are going to lose tonight or tomorrow. I am certin on that. And then the let down will come. It always does after the great runs and I'm ambushing that spot.
