[NBA YTD: 7-3][+5 UNITS]

4-1 last night with the 3 unit POD cashing in.. We’re off to a great start, and I don’t see why that should end tonight… Let’s keep it rolling…

CHICAGO BULLS +4 **2 UNITS** (P.O.D.)

OVER 193 **1 UNIT**

We witnessed last night how deep this San Antonio team actually is… With everyone healthy, it’s hard to imagine how any team can really keep up (at least offensively)… With that being said, take into consideration that San Antonio is a bit of an older team, structured to win championships in the very near future… They are playing on a back to back, on the road… Historically, the Spurs are a great road team because of their defense, but as trends showed last year, and with new star-caliber players, their defense isn’t quite what it was when they had won their previous 3 championships… Which is why I like the Bulls tonight.. The Bulls went on a nice home tear closing out last year, beating out some premiere teams in Chicago… Losing Ben Gordon means that they lost an offensive weapon, but this team has many more where that came from… With young developing players like Derrick Rose, Tyrus Thomas, Joakim Noah, and rookie Taj Gibson, along with the likes of some seasoned vets like Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng, John Salmons, Brad Miller, and Lindsey Hunter, this team is easily poised for the playoffs… I see the Bulls continuing where they left off at the end of last season, and possibly pulling off an upset with a straight W at home… John Salmons to the BANK!!!

PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS -7 **1 UNIT**

This play is based on my theory of the TNT special… One fave and one underdog hits almost guaranteed every time it’s broadcasted on TNT… Haha, that’s not my only reasoning though… Denver is also on a back to back, playing a tough game against Utah last night… Like I mentioned a few reasons before, playing without J.R. Smith and Dahntay Jones, and trying to replace them with Ty Lawson and Aaron Afflalo just won’t cut it… Tonight, the Blazers pose all kinds of matchup problems for the Thuggets… Oden, Aldridge, Przybilla, Outlaw will be tough for K-Mart, Nene, and Birdman to manage inside… You can make the case by showing how Scola was shut down in Portland’s previous game… When comparing both benches, Portland is the far deeper team, bringing out Andre Miller, Travis Outlaw, Rudy Fernandez, Joel Przybilla off the bench, guy’s that would pretty much start on any team (besides the 6 super-teams that were constructed this offseason).. Also, Denver has always struggled on the road, and in their last 4 meetings, the home team has covered ATS… So what does this all mean? Martell Webster to the BANK!!!
