UTA @ LAL (O/U 211)

PICK: UTA +6.5 (1st Half Line)

PICK: OVER 211 (GAME TOTAL)

Taking this play a little late… I see Utah trying to bounce back tonight… and they will for the most part.. at least up until the half.. Should be a back and forth shootout between these two ball clubs… I don’t need to explain anything as to why the Lakers are going to do well… But Okur should be back in Utah’s lineup today to give them a little push at least (at least a big body to put on either Pau or Bynum)… Lakers ML, Utah +6.5, Over 211 to the BANK!!!!!

Before I leave work and sit through over an hour’s worth of traffic… I’d like to leave you with one play…

HOU @ POR

PICK: POR -1.5 (1st quarter line)

In game 1, it was all about getting the rookie jitters out for the young Portland squad.. It was also a game that Houston absolutely needed, at least in terms of building up confidence and momentum (cause they’ll be leading a whole lot of it)… After the horrible first game, I believe the Blazers will come out firing.. I was going to post a play for the whole game, but this line is a given, and I suggest a strong play here… Look for Brandon Roy to lead the Blazers to a much needed victory, as they look to tie up the series…

DET @ CLE -11.5

PICK: CLEVELAND -11.5 (1 unit)

If anyone else is thinking otherwise, they obviously weren’t watching Game 1.. I was going to make a strong play for the Under also, but with the way these playoff games have gone, I can’t seem to do it… Very tempting to close in on the parlay with Cleveland spread along with Under 178, but who knows… someone like Will Bynum may hit a lucky 3 at the end that may screw your parlay by 1/2 point… Once again, look for a monstrous game from the King, and good games from the regulars (Mo, Delonte, Varejao, and big Z).. Nobody could guard the King in game 1, I don’t see any difference tonight… CLEVELAND TO THE BANK!

Adding to the BOARD…

CLE -3 1st Quarter (3 units) PLAY OF THE DAY!!!!!

Under 89 1st Half (1 unit)
