TORONTO RAPTORS -4 (2ND HALF PLAY) **1 UNIT**
PHILADELPHIA SIXERS -2 **1 UNIT**
Utah is 11-4-1 in the last 16 matchups ATS, but possibly no Deron Williams along with their long list of players that are already out.. I just don’t see how Utah will keep this game close… ON THE ROAD!!!
PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS -3 (P.O.D.) **2 UNITS**
Byron Scott fired after last night’s loss + CP3 not agreeing about the firing of his coach = DISASTER for the Hornets tonight… Sure the home team has gone 11-4 ATS, but forget about those trends… This is a whole new coach we’re talking about here, who was formerly the GM of the ball club… Now it’s up to him to justify Scott losing his job, but it doesn’t happen on the first night… I smell massacre….
SACRAMENTO QUEENS +5 **1 UNIT**
I can’t believe I’m taking the Queens here, but some dogs have to play tonight (and probably most dogs will cover if not win outright)… Houston has managed to stay afloat after losing Artest and being without McGrady or Yao… I just see too much love on the Rockets tonight, and the spread moving too rapidly against the Queens… Don’t forget, this arena was one of the toughest arenas to play in for opposing teams as it gets super loud and crazy… Like I said, I can’t believe I’m taking the Queens here especially without Kevin Martin, but Tyreke Evans is the real deal… Beno Udrih to the BANK!!!
LOS ANGELES LAKERS +4 (P.O.D. #2) **2 UNITS**
LOS ANGELES LAKERS ML +150 **1 UNIT**
When the two teams face off tonight, they’ll continue where they left off last year… A lot of bad blood has brewed between the two teams, and both will be looking to send a statement to the rest of the league… Denver looked great the first 6 games or so, but now, people are seeing how to play this team… The Lakers also want to show off their new addition, as Ron Artest will be put to the test against one of the league’s greatest in Carmelo Anthony… The Lakers had an impressive win last night against the Suns, as the starters got enough rest to play in the Mile High City tonight… Usually, I’d take the air up there into consideration, but these two teams should know each other’s plays in and out by now, and there’s still nobody that can stop Bynum… which is why I also made a play on the ML… I don’t know about you guys, but the x-factor tonight will not be JR Smith… Shannon Brown to the BANK!!!
TORONTO RAPTORS -1.5 **1 UNIT**
As fishy as this line looks, I am not going to overthink this one… The Clippers do look like a pretty decent ball club, as they’re hanging in games with teams without their star Eric Gordon or Blake Griffin… But missing EG is just too much of a factor… That’s automatically 19 points/game, not counting what he does not on the stat sheet… Also, Chris Kaman is questionable for tonight’s matchup, as were many of the Raptor players.. but tonight… this man will have another breakout game in front of his hometown crowd, after having his greatest game of his young career… Remember the name.. DeMar DeRozan to the BANK!!!
