3 KARAT NBA MISMATCH

TODAY'S WINNER: SPURS -10.5

The Spurs are averaging 104 points at home, and 105 points in their last 5 games. Today they will face the Knicks who are tired and hurt. Carmelo Anthony is complaining about his knee and says he needs rest. Carmelo is the Key of the outcome in this game.  The Knicks surrender 104 points to their opponents, and only average just 93 points per game. The Knicks will struggle their main man, and I like the value of the spread.

According to my algorithms, I have the Spurs winning 109-87, 113-84, and 107- 88. Lay the money on the Spurs for today's winner. Thank You

TODAY'S WINNER: HEAT -3
The Knicks are 4-13 SU, and taking only a trey. Miami, 8-7 SU is off an embarrassing home loss to Golden State, but so are a lot of NBA teams these days. Carmelo Anthony figures to still be out for the Knicks. There is a reason why Phil Jackson wouldn't coach this team, only sit in a suit in hiding and allegedly run it. Ain't got two or three superstars on it to beat everyone, and no winners on the roster. Can't coach that up! MIAMI, 104-93

ROCKETS +3.5
Dwight Howard, Terrence Jones, Patrick Beverley, Isaiah Canaan, all out for the visiting Rockets. Chase the ambulance all the way to Milwaukee -1.5? Nah. This makes it easier for the head
coach. He doesn’t have to worry about satisfying the players’ desire for minutes. The Bucks played last night, too, beating
Detroit for the second straight time. Playing that offensively challenged team twice in a few days should mess ‘em up when it
comes to playing against a more cohesive scoring group – even without the four guys on it. HOUSTON, 99-91.

TODAY'S WINNER: CLIPPERS -3
Although it’s a non-conference road game and not a biggie in the grand scheme of things, it’s the
Clippers’ first game of a road trip, usually the best energy night for teams a long way from home.
Win the first one, and the looming, nagging danger of a winless trip is out of the way. Plus, Miami
still carries some sort of high-profile tag to it, and the game is nationally televised on TNT. Blake
Griffin to Chris Bosh – outta my way!!!! For the Heat, Dwayne Wade and Luol Deng are doubtful, which is why the yellow-bellied linemaker was taking his time posting a number, which, from our
perspective, ain’t high enough. LA CLIPPERS, 99-88.

Today we are laying the money on the Mavericks. The Mavericks have pounded the Jazz in the last 5 games. According to my algorithms, I have the Mavericks winning 103-95, and 108-101. Lay the money on the Mavericks and get paid.

3 KARAT GAME OF THE WEEK
TODAY'S WINNER: CELTICS
The Celtics are off three straight losses, yet favored. Indiana swept Boston 4-0 in the regular season series last year, by margins that averaged 14.5 points. The Celtics have been allowing big points to
opponents who score big points – Houston, Dallas, Toronto. The Pacers? Not a big points team. The
injured players for Indiana include starters Paul George, David West and George Hill, and back-ups
Rodney Stuckey and C.J. Watson. The Celtics will break out the violins for a sad, sad song to
commiserate with the guest, then probably break those violins over the Pacers' heads after the opening tip.
