I actually think the betting public will be on the Knicks here because the Mavs just lost at home to the Bulls.  I just cant trust this Knicks team as they are 1-7 SU their last 8 games.  The Mavs even though losing to the Bulls have still covered 5 of their last 6 games. Beasley being hurt and questionable for the Knicks is a lot bigger loss than what people realize 

I like the Blazers here tonight to lay one down on the Hawks.  Portland was just beat by 15 @ Atlanta last week.  The trailbalzers shot a terrible 28% from the 3 point land and we all know that won't happen on their home court.  Lillard is probable here tonight.  The Hawks are just 3-16 SU on the road.  I don't think this will even be a contest

This seems like a very good discount here to back Miami.  They are a very well rested team here only playing their 2nd games in 6 days while the Knicks are playing their 3rd in 4 nights.  

The Knicks have been a team all season that you look to fade on the road as they are just 3-13 SU.  Also the Heat will want revenge because they laid an egg to them @ MSG in the first meeting.  

The Heat are starting to get healthier.  They are still missing Winslow and Waiters, but they have enough here to cover this number.  

I always like these situations here when two teams have just recently played and it was a close game.  That is the case here as the Raptors beat the Bucks in OT @ Toronto.  The Bucks will be licking their chops here for revenge.  Also Lowry will play tonight, but he isn't a 100%.  I like Milwaukee to win outright 

I love the Celtics here tonight against the Cavs.  I think the betting public will be jumping on the Cavs here especially since they won in blowout fashion last night against Portland.  Cavs are just 2-4 Su their last 6 games.  Boston has won 3 straight and have had 2 days off.  You know this game means a ton to them tonight.  Kyrie goes off and Celtics win easy!

The Heat are still without Winslow and Waiters, but everyone else is back now and I think they get revenge on the Pistons from an earlier loss this season.  The Pistons are still without their main guy in Reggie Jackson and Stanley Johnsons is going to be out tonight as well 

I will take a chance here and back the Magic and yes I know they have been terrible, but a large part is because of the injuries.  While, they aren't back to full strength they do have 90% back.  The main reason here is because this will be the first game without Jame Harden for the Rockets.  I don't need to go into detail, but we all know how much he means to this team and he also has the ball in his hands 75% of the time

The Rockets have cooled off losing 5 straight and not covering in any of those 5 games either.  There is one thing though that they haven't forgot about and that is the Lakers last win came @ Houston so the Rockets will be out for revenge.  However, this time around there wont be Lonzo or Lopez 2 starters for the Lakers.  Lakers are just 1-8 SU their last 9 with the only win being the Rockets.  I normally don't lay this many ever but the situation calls for it 

The Sixers here have just fallen apart.  They only have 2 wins their last 12 games.  They will be without Embiid tonight and possibly Covington who is a good 3 pt shooter for them.  Denver is starting to play very well covering 4 straight and 6 of their last 7 games. Denver has had two days off while Sixers are playing their 4 straight road game 

This is one of those weird NBA games where I automatically look at the Magic here given situation.  These teams just played on the 26th and the Magic were blown out.  Now they have can get revenge on their home court here.  While the Magic doesn't have everyone back they do get back Gordon Fournier while the Heat are missing Winslow Waiters and Johnson.  Magic are also coming off a nice win over the Pistons as well

I like the Suns to get revenge here on the Kings after losing to them a couple weeks back.  I look to fade the bad teams when they pull a huge upset like the Kings did against the Cavs last game.  That has them way overvalued and are in a let don spot.  The Suns have been playing better as they are 4-2 SU their last 6 

This is just a terrible spot for the Rockets here after blowing such a huge lead last night in Boston.  To get back up from those types of games is very difficult especially on a back to back.  The Wizards had their let down spot last game vs the Hawks and expect them to bounce back here against Houston

Have to take the Blazers here as the Sixers are coming off a big Christmas day win over the Knicks.   The fact that the Sixers destroyed Portland early this season I think that the Trailblazers respond with a big effort.  They also get their best player back in Lillard tonight.  Also worth mentioning that this team is very well rested having 4 days off.  All signs point to Portland in an easy win

I really love the Bucks here tonight.  I backed the T Wolves last night and they blew a 19 point lead went into OT and won by 3.  This is a very tough spot for them here now as  I think they are playing a very pissed off Bucks team who just lost again @ home to the Bulls.  Teague also got hurt last night and is out tonight which is a big loss for Minnesota.

I had the Nuggets last night in a easy blowout winner over the Jazz and will now back the T Wolves here who have been playing a lot better as of late.  They have won 4 straight and 5 of their last 6 games.  I like the Wolves here to continue their run against Denver coming off that huge win last night 

I backed the Thunder on Christmas day over the Rockets and they will be a public play here for sure, but they are now red hot and I will look to ride the momentum here.  I know Toronto laid an egg last night against the Mavs so they are primed for a bounce back., but the Thunder have won 5 straight and 7 of their last 8.  

We all know the betting public will be on the Celtics here, but this team hasn't played up to par the last couple weeks.  They are just 5-6 SU their last 11 games and have only covered 3 during that span.  Now they face some injuries tonight with Brown Morris and Semi all out.  Hornets just beat the Bucks I look for them to beat Boston here short handed 

This is just a classic example of both teams here being home/road teams.  The Jazz are a terrible 3-13 on the road and have a huge game with the Warriors tomorrow.  The Nuggets are great at home with a 11-3 record.  Also the Jazz have thumped the Nuggets both meetings @ Utah so the revenge is in play here.  Also the Nuggets have everyone back now except Millsap

There is no doubt so far that the Bucks have underachieved.  I think we get a big effort here tonight going up against a Bulls team that just beat them on their home court 10 days ago.  Giannis is probable here for the game and the Bucks are a solid 11-5 at home.  I think this line climbs throughout the day

Have the Thunder figured things out?  I'm not sure but they have won 4 straight and 6 of their last 7 which is going under the radar.  They are also a solid 12-4 at home this season.  The Rockets haven't been themselves as of late losing to the Clippers and Lakers.  They are also only 2-6 ATS their last 8 games.  I don't Paul will play here either tonight

I thin the betting public will be all over the Cavs here beause of their winning streak.  Give them credit during the streak that was snapped by the Bucks, but they only beat 2 teams with a winning record.  Everyone knows Curry is out, but the Warriors still have more than enough pieces and I expect a huge effort and them showing they are still the best.

I actually thought this line was going to be closer to 5 or 6.  The Sixers were an automatic play on team early in the season, but now are a strictly play against.  They have failed to cover 9 straight and have only covered once in their last 10 games.  The Knicks are a great home team with a 15-5 record.  

This seems like a total sucker play, but I have to take the Lakers.  I know the spot coming off Golden St is a tough one, but you cant ignore the fact that Lillard is out again tonight.  Portland looked horrible without him last night and were destroyed on their home court by Denver 

I had the Pelicans last night in an easy winner and will back them again here for the same reasons.  The Miami Heat are extremely banged up with Winslow Whiteside and Dragic all out today and Waiters is doubful.  That's 4 starters when healthy.  Pelicans easy win and cover again

This seems like a huge over reaction just based on last night's results alone.  The Clippers were on fire at Houston and pulled a crazy upset road win as a double digit dog.  Always look to fade teams coming off that emotional win with travel and back to back it doesn't work out in the long run

The Hornets let one slip away last night at Milwaukee and now get to face them again here.   It's easy to see who the motivated team will be in this game.  Based off last night's line the Hornets were 5 point dogs so adjusting this game should be Hornets favored or a PK.  

I had the Knicks last night +3 over Boston as they won SU.  Out of principle now you have to fade them in this spot.  The Knicks have been a great home team and awful road team.  They are just 2-9 SU on the road.  The Pistons have won 3 of their last 4 and are fresh here only playing their 2nd game in 5 days

I normally don't look to lay this many points with a team on the road, but given the situation I think you have to.  The Pelicans will be hungry for a road win here and are coming off two days rest.  The other main thing is that the Magic are down to no body dealing with injuries.  Gordon Fournier and Issac are all out tonight 

Both teams played last night in losing efforts and neither did cover as well.  The Suns are still without Booker, but I don't think they should be an underdog to a team was has 3 road wins on the season.  Grizzlies are coming off a tougher game against the Warriors as I think it's always hard to bounce back from the Warriors as everyone wants to beat them

I like the Knicks in this spot catching the Celtics on a back to back.  The Knicks have had two days off here and can't fault them for their recent loss because Hardaway and Porzingis were both out.  Prior to that they have won 4 straight.  Celtics are slipping a little bit here just 4-4 SU their last 8 games.  

I normally stay away or look to fade a team coming off a long road stretch.  I just think Portland is simply playing to well right now not to back.  They have covered 6 straight games and should win here tonight given the fact Leonard and Parker are both out for the Spurs. 

The price is right here to back the Nuggets at home where they have been quietly one of the best teams with a SU 11-2 record.  There is still something wrong with this T Wolves team for whatever reason.  They don't play well together and there is a lot of standing around.  Jokic is back which is a key piece for the Nuggets

I have backed the Bulls a lot during this stretch and will take them again here.  The Magic will be without Gordon and Fournier tonight giving the Bulls the edge here.  I realize the Bulls do have a big look ahead game on deck with the Cavs tomorrow, but they are playing a Magic team that has lost 5 straight 

I'm going to take the Bucks here tonight as I think we get a huge effort from them coming off two days rest.  Yes, they havent been playing well but I think they get the revenge here after losing the first two matchups this season

I like the Suns here who are coming off a nice upset win over the T Wolves last game.  I just think this is a tough spot for the Mavs to get up for.  They have played the Spurs, Warriors, Spurs their last 3 games and now the Suns here.  I will take the points

I have backed the Bulls the last 3 games during this 5 game winning streak.  Why not take them again as they are obviously playing their best basketball of the season.  The main key for me is that Embiid is out tonight for this game.  I think the Bulls make it 6 straight 

I know Butler is questionable here but I think the T Wolves respond with a big effort after laying a big egg last game out against the Suns.  Portland is now playing their 5 straight road game coming off 3 straight wins.  This will be their 4th road game in 6 days here.  

Late Add

I think we get a nice bounce back here for the Hornets tonight who just recently lost to this Heat team.  The Hornets are now fully healthy and play their best basketball at home.  The Heat also aren't playing that well themselves.  

The Thunder are coming off an emotional win with Paul George returning to his hometown @ Indiana, but the Thunder looked awful in that game.  The ball movement still doesn't exist on this team.  I think the Sixers will be up for the challenge here and they are playing with some confidence coming off a nice road win @ Minnesota 

The Magic are dealing with some major injuries right now with Fournier being out and Gordon looking out as well.  I think Portland has now turned the corner from their struggles covering 3 straight and coming off a road win @ Miami.  

I like the Nets here in this spot against the Knicks tonight to get revenge from an ugly loss ealier this season.  The Knicks are 1-8 on the road this season.  The Nets have been a play on team here at home with a 7-4 ATS record.  Also the Nets have won 3 of their last 4 games and have covered 10 of their last 12 games. 

Not a popular play at all here but the Bulls are riding a 3 game winning streak at the moment.  They have covered 4 straight and are 5-1-1 ATS L7 games.  They are playing their best basketball of the season right now coming off a huge win over Boston.  The Jazz here have been pretty bad on the road this season with a 2-9 SU record 

This will be the public side here but I will roll with Indiana.  I think Oladipo will wnat something to prove here tonight against his old team.  Also clearly there is something wrong with OKC they have failed to cover 9 straight.  OKC is also just 3-10 SU on the road this season

The Suns gave a big effort last time out barely losing to the Spurs.  I doubt the intensity is as high here vs a Kings team equal to them.  I do think the Kings here will be out for revenge after losing by 2 @ Phoenix as 2 point favorites earlier this season.  Kings have covered 3 of their last 4 games and I think they handle business with Booker out 

The price is right here to back the Knicks as a short home favorite.  I also believe the betting public will be all over the Lakers here as they have won back to back road games.  I think people are forgetting that this Lakers team is still just 4-8 on the road with those two wins.  

Late NBA Add

I'm really just banking against the Bulls coming off an OT win to win 2 in a row.  Also the fact that Porzingis returns is a huge uplift for the Knicks.  

Like this spot here for the Hornets as they are due for a major bounce back after losing to the Bulls at home last game.  I also think the Lakers poured a lot of effort into their last game winning at Philly and wont be that motivated this game 

I like the Bucks to get some revenge here tonight after getting blown out by the Mavs 3 weeks ago.  The Mavs are dealing with some big injuries right now including their stud rookie Dennis Smith Jr who is questionable tonight.  If he plays he clearly won't be 100%.  The Bucks are 5-2 their last 7 games. 

I have faded the Nuggets here the last two road games and won both.  This team is just hurting right now with the injuries to Milsap and Jokic.  The Magic have actually won 3 of their last 5 games.  

I will back the Pelicans here against the Nuggets.  Denver is hurting pretty bad right now without Jokic and Milsap in the lineup.  They just lost on the road to the Mavs by 17.  We are catching a short price here because the Pelicans have dropped 4 of 5, but 2 of those were against the Warriors.  This is a discount here on New Orleans 

Really like the Mavs here tonight laying a short number here against the Nuggets.  Denver is being over valued here given the fact they have won their last two games, but those were against the Bulls and Lakers.  The Nuggets will be without Jokic and Milsap tonight.  I also don't think there will be any motivation from the Nuggets.  

Like the spot here for the Pelicans who are catching the Warriors at the right time.  Warriors covered last night in a blowout win over Miami.  Now on a back to back here I like the Pelicans to keep it within double digits.  The Pelicans only lost by 8 the first time around at home and should have no problem keeping it closer given that better situation this time around 

I like this spot here for the Hornets as they seem to be a team that plays really good at home and really bad on the road.  They have now lost 4 straight games, but 3 of those were on the road.  The Magic got their road win yesterday beating an injured Knicks team.  I like the Hornets in a blowout here tonight. 

This T Wolves team might be one of the most over hyper teams coming into an NBA season with nothing to show for.  They don't to play any defense at all.  Last night they couldn't handle the Wizards who were without their best player in Wall.

The T Wolves only two recent wins are against the Magic and Suns.  Pelicans have won 3 of their last 4 with their only loss being against the Warriors.  They are also coming off 3 days rest and will be motivated for revenge after already losing at home to the T Wolves 

The Suns played last night and came away with a win against the Bulls.  Yes, I know it's the Bulls but we are seeing a crazy inflated line.

The Pistons are their biggest favorite role not only of this season, but maybe even all of last year as well.  They are coming off two big road wins over the Thunder and Celtics.  I don't think they will have the same energy here against the Suns.  

I actually think the Kings are the worst team in the league and the Pistons were only favored by 9 over them 

I will take the Sixers here as this team continues to be under valued by the books because they were so bad for so long.  They sit at 11-7 on the season as they have covered a crazy 13 of their lat 15.  They have won 3 straight and 5 of 6 and are 7-1 ATS at home.  I will take the Sixers here

I think this is a good spot to back Portland here as they were blown out against the Sixers last game.  I just dont think the Nets will bring the same intensity here as they have the past two games coming off games against the Warriors and Cavs.  

I like the Suns tonight here as they have won 2 straight and 3 of their last 5.  I know they are beating world beaters, but for a young team confidence in a winning a few can go along ways.  

The reason for this pick is simple for me.  I think this young Suns team will want to stick it to Bledsoe here who returns after being traded.  Immediately after he was gone the Suns played some good ball didn't always result in wins but they played better.  

This will be the third meeting between these two teams as they played one of those back to back home and home.  Both teams won on their home court but the Grizzlies were favored by 7.5 and that was a healthy Memphis team then.  Well, now they are completely different with Conley out and the results show.   They have lost 5 straight and 6 of 7.  I want no part of this Memphis team for a while and also do you think they will be that motivated here against this Mavs team?

I like the Pelicans here tonight against the Spurs.  Spurs have really struggled on the road this season with a 1-5 ATS. They just have a big advantage here with Cousins and Davis and I think the Spurs record looks good because they have played some sub par competition as of late. 

First, we know everyone and I mean everyone will be all over the Celtics here.  I just think tonight is the night they go down.  The Heat actually match up with them a lot better than what people think.  They also have had two days rest while I think the Celtics could have been caught in the lime lights of South Beach last night not really caring about this game.  Boston already won at Miami earlier, but only by 6.  Heat get the revenge

I have backed the Hornets their last two games as short home favorites and they have won both games by double digits.  I think they take care of business here tonight facing a Wizards team that doesn't play much of defense at all.  I think this Hornets team is better than their record indicates because they are now healthy.  They will have a huge advantage in the paint here as well.  I think the Hornets win another fairly easy one

The Hornets broke out last night game and I back them then against the Clippers.  I know the Clippers are nothing special, but they key when is struggling they just need to get one out of the way. 

The T Wolves will definitely be the public side here with all the names they have.  However when it comes to the road they are one of the worst defensive teams in the league. 

I think what people are failing to realize with this Hornets team is that they are home team.  They have a 5-2 home record and a 1-7 road record.  Hornet get it done tonight 

It's almost an automatic play for me when a team gets blown out and I mean literally blown out at home their last game like the Magic did losing by 40.  

The Magic the first two weeks of the season were one of the biggest surprises and are primed for a nice bounce back win here before heading back on the road.  

Magic are 7-1 ATS L8 games following an ATS loss.

The Sixers are now being priced as a pretty serious team.  Don't get me wrong,  I really like this team going forward but laying 7 I just cant do especially with them coming off the Warriors who you know they gave everything to try and beat them.  

The Sixers now have caught everyone's attention so teams won't be taking them lightly like they have for years now.  With the Jazz coming off a 40 point win @ Orlando maybe they found a little something and can carry that over even without Gorbert. 

Sixers are 1-5 ATS L6 home games vs team with a losing road record 

I like the Hornets here tonight as both teams played last night in losing efforts.  The Hornets lost to the Bulls which sets them up for a big bounce back here tonight.  The Clippers also lost in a losing effort in OT to the Cavs.  I think it will be harder for them to bounce back knowing that they gave everything last night.  

The Nuggets are playing better than what people realize.  They have now won 5 of their last 7 and 7 of their last 10.  This is a short price to get them at home.  The betting public will no doubt be on the Pelicans with Cousins and Davis

I have been fading the Clippers and the books havent adjusted enough.  This team is a mess right now because of the injuries they are dealing with.  The Cavs are starting to play better now winning 4 of 5 and 3 straight road games.  

The Jazz are a mess right now losing 6 of their last 7 games.  The Jazz have yet to win a game on the road as well this season

I like the T Wolves here tonight against the Spurs.  The T Wolves will be looking for revenge here from a loss earlier this season @ the Spurs.  They were actually favored in that game so figuring this is a home court and the Wolves are catching the Spurs on a back to back I think the price is too good.

Spurs are just 1-4 ATS on the road this season.  They come in winning 5 of 6 but they have beat teams like the Mavs Bulls and Suns, 3 of the worst teams in the league.  T Wolves are starting to play a lot better winning 6 of their last 8 with one of those losses being @ Warriors.  

Let's lay the short number here with the Pelicans tonight.   New Orleans is starting to play a lot better ball winning 5 of their last 6 games.  In fact their only loss during that run was against these Raptors.  Revenge will definitely be on their mind here tonight. 

The Pelicans also catch the Raptors at the right time as well with Toronto coming off a big upset win @ the Rockets last night.   

The Pistons are the surprise team in the NBA so far this season with a 10-3 record.  Detroit has won 5 straight and their first win during this stretch came against the Bucks.  

The Bucks have now won and covered 3 straight games.  I think the acquisition of Bledsoe has helped them a lot on both sides of the ball.  I still think the Bucks down the road are the better team this is a short price to grab them here. 

Let's take the Hornets here tonight as you can expect a huge effort from them coming off a rare 4 days off.  They are also finally healthy with Batum returning here tonight.  The Cavs were very lucky last game @ Knicks to have that come back win.  I still think they have major issues.  The Hornets have lost 4 straight but all 4 were on the road.  They seem to be the classic home/away team as they are 4-1 @ home this season

Let's take the Knicks here at home tonight against the Jazz.  Utah has been a disappointing team, but that shouldn't come as a surprise this season with the loss of Hayward in the off season.  They are also without their key big man in Gorbert.  

Utah is 0-4 on the road this season and come into this game losing 5 of their last 6.  The Knicks are playing refreshed this season they have won 4 of their last 6 games and have covered 5 of those during that stretch.  

So we have the hottest team in basketball right now in the Celtics winning 12 straight.  This is jsut too much love here for me even though I do love this team.  The Nets have had two days off and you know they have circled this game.  Remind you they already beat the Cavs at home this year also.  The Celtics have a huge look ahead game with the Warriors coming to town on Thursday.  Too many points here

This Clippers team clearly isn't the same.  I have fading them several times on their recent skid and no way I back them here.  They are still missing Beverly and Gallinari who are key starters and contributors.  They are now down 3 starters.  The Sixers should be pretty hungry here after dropping their first two road games of this trip.  Clippers 0-5 SU and ATS L5 games.  

All this talk about the Lakers with the Ball hype is getting them a little to much hype.  This teams have the same amount of wins, but if you strictly just went by what you see on TV you would think the Suns are a lot worse.

Suns here have the revenge angle after dropping the first game against LA by 2 points.  That was also the Lakers only road win of the season.  The Suns just had a nice upset win over the T Wolves and look for them to get one back on LA tonight.  

This line is just begging you to take the Bucks here.  Let's look back the Bucks were just 6.5 point favorites over the Lakers who are clearly worse than the veteran Grizzlies team.  

Grizzlies are finishing a 5 game road trip where they look to have a winning record with a win here so you can expect great effort.  This will also only be the 2nd game for the Grizzlies in 6 days so they are fresh here.  This will be the Bucks 3rd game in 4 days and coming with wins over Spurs and Lakers it seems like a flat spot to me

I look for the Jazz to be hungry here.  They have lost 3 straight now and were just upset by the Sixers who were without Embiid.  The Jazz shot the worst they probably shoot all season last game and that was 30% yes 30% from the field.  You never see that.  Now with two days off to think about it I think we get a huge effort here.

Sign me up for the Thunder tonight as they will be a very pissed off team dropping another game last night @ Denver.  I think we see a max effort here.  The Clippers are very banged up with Rivers being questionable, Beverly out, and Galanari out.  This shouldn't be a problem at all for OKC to blow them out after losing 4 straight

I just can't back this young Sixers team here as I doubt they have much interest in this game considering they have a huge look ahead with the Warriors.  Also the Kings might have just found something and will play with a lot of energy going against another young team here.  Also I can't recall the last time the Sixers were favored on the road let alone laying this many points.

I think it's time to fade the Pelicans on this road trip.  They have covered all 3 games so far but those were against the Bulls, Mavs and Pacers.  I  think they run into a buzz saw here tonight playing one of the top teams in the East.  The betting public won't have anything to do with the Raptors here after they have failed to cover 3 of their last 4 games. 

Another total here tonight that seems a little to high.  The Suns were a team earlier in the season that was scoring in bunches I think now the pace for them has slowed down some and also their offense is struggling a little bit.  

With Whiteside back in the lineup here the Heat will play a different style of ball and they will dictate the pace of this one.  The Heat have only gone over the total once in the last 5 games and the only reason is because that game went to OT.  

I had the under in the Suns last home game as that game was played in the 90's with a total of 233.  It seems that the books are begging you to take the over here.

The totals have been crazy high in Magic games to start the season as for a while they were flying over.  I think now that the Magic have had a couple days rest and coming off back to back losses the effort will be there all the way around.  Throw that in with the fact that the Knicks played a thriller last night in a comeback win over the Hornets that went over the total.  The Knicks shot 60% last night which everyone knows is extremely to follow up especially with travel and a back to back situation.  

Let's take a look at the Spurs here as I think they are being undervalued since they have had a slow start to the season.  Well the Clippers are being very overrated right now as they have only played one yes one true road game to start the season.  Clippers are without Danillo their best outside shooter.  I think Spurs get the job done tonight

I like the Pacers here at home tonight as I think the betting public will go with the Pelicans here since they have the big names.  So the Pelicans have covered and won SU their last two road games but each were by one point and against the Bulls and Mavs two of the worst teams in the league.

The Pacers are 3-1 this season at home so far.  The fact they lost back to back games to the Knicks and Sixers is keeping this low, but both of those games were on the road.  Myles Turner seems to be 100% now so I think Indiana gets it done tonight

Let's take the under here as I think the total is being very inflated here.  First we are catching the Bucks with 3 days of rest and they will be motivated here as they dropped the first meeting between the 2.  

Total is the first meeting was 213 so that is also playing into this line, but now the total has gone through the roof literally because of the Cavs struggles.  I think we see both teams lock in tonight with Cleveland coming off a terrible loss against the Hawks.  Also in the first meeting the Cavs had their best offensive performance % wise of the season.

Like the under here tonight with a Heat team who just scored 104 last night in a win over the Clippers.  This Miami team really isn't into running up and down the court here only scoring over 100 twice in the last 5 games, so asking to hit over 226 combined seems like a big stretch.  Also, the betting public jsut bets the overs blind in Warriors games so they are always a little inflated especially at home.  

Let's take the Under here tonight as I think the Suns will be a tired team playing their 3rd game in 4 days and on a back to back with travel.  The reason this total is set high because both these teams have already played and it went over the total set at 229.  The Nets here are well rested with two days off so I think they can hold the tired Suns team in check.  Both teams probably do score in the 100's here I just don't see both going over the 110 mark.

Mad I missed the good opener here, but still will take the Thunder.  I have cashed in on Boston here during this winning streak, but let's face it they haven't been beating world beaters with the Spurs, Sixers, Kings Heat.  With two days off prior to this game I think the Thunder are going to come out and make a statement win here tonight.  

The Suns have looked like a different team here since firing their coach and letting Bledsoe go.  I just think given this spot after back to back road underdog wins I'm banking on them coming up short tonight against the Knicks who were just blown out by the Rockets.  I dont think that was a great spot for New York there as the Rockets just dropped a game to the Sixers.  Prior to that loss the Knicks did win 3 straight.  

First game off the road trip for the Pistons and normally look to fade these teams, but they only played 3 road games out west won 2 of them beating the Clippers and Warriors.  Now they have had two days of rest which helps as well.  The Greek Freak is putting up all kinds of numbers right now, but this Bucks team just isn't playing very good right now.  Their only win in their last 4 games is against the Hawks who have 1 win.  

I think the Spurs are still being priced way too low given what we have seen from them so far.  They look a below average team right now, but aren't being priced as one.  

When generally the bottom half teams play the Warriors and the Warriors have had two days rest they are easily favored by double digits.  The fact the Spurs are still a household name keeps this lower than what it should be.  

My free pick was on the Warriors last game @ Clippers and they just destroyed them.  I expect the same result tonight as Leonard and Parker are still out

The Jazz may not be the flashiest team in the league, but so far this season they get the job done at home with a 4-0 record so far.  Portland right now despite their 4-3 record are really struggling on offense.  They have failed to cover in 3 straight games and have shot under 40% their last 3 of 4.  The Jazz are a very good defensive minded team I think Jazz protect their home court tonight 

I'm really not sold on this T Wolves team at all.  When you look back at it they could easily have 0 wins on the season.  They banked in a 3 against the Thunder at the buzzer, barely beat them the 2nd time around, survived OT last game and beat the Jazz in the final seconds.  The Pelicans just lost to the Magic, but I won't hold that against them as they have been a very pleasant surprise to start the season.  

I was way off last night on the Bucks as I thought they would show up against the Thunder.  That didn't happen and I will be fading them here on a back to back.  For me the Hornets are getting healthier even though Batum is still out.  They have back to back impressive wins over the Grizzlies and red hot Magic.  This is also their final home game before they hit the road for 5 of their next 6.  I think we see a big effort here
