Washington/New Jersey Under 189 - Wizards are tough at home and the Under are 12 - 4. Wizards are also on a 3 game losing streak which has lead to Under hitting on 7 of 8 which seems to indicate and up in defence or a lack of play on offence. They were on a Unders streak until their last game. They gave up 100 only for the 2nd time in 10 games, i think defence might be name of the game. Plus Saunders has told Wall to cool his jets because going full pace doesn't help the team. Nets are off a big win against the Bulls and the Unders have been dominating in games where the Nets play losing teams, 8 - 2. Wall and Hinrich can stay in front of Harris, Lopez is a slight danger but i think this stays Under.
Indiana 1st Half against San Antonio - I think the Pacers come out tough here like they normally do against winning teams. The Spurs will be looking to bounce back after two losses but they won't unless they emphasis defence. I don't think on the back of a 3 game road trip in 4 days is the time to do it. Pacers get a poor closing out team here in the Spurs who give up almost 40% from the field and i struggle to see them containing Granger. Pacers one of the best first half teams at home i think they can get it done. The Pacers offence is struggling so it's hard to back a total. Off a long break, O'Brien should have sorted a few things out, think they come out and stick with the Spurs who may have a slight hangover from a tough loss.
Philadelphia over Chicago, Philadelphia 1st Quarter over Chicago & Philadelphia/Chicago Under 191 - Think this is a great spot for the Sixers. They got absolutely humiliated against Chicago a few weeks ago you can be sure they'll be up for the this. Chicago has Boston tomorrow night, massive rivalry between those two and really think this is a look ahead game here and they play flat. Sixers play very well against winning teams, they are 11 - 4 ATS and are also 11 - 4 ATS at home. Sixers too good on the day i feel. Under 10 - 6 when Chicago are away and the Under 11 - 5 when the Sixers play a winning team.
Toronto +9.5 against Boston & Toronto 1st Quarter against Boston - Another good spot here i think with Boston off a big win against San Antonio and has Chicago tomorrow. They are an experienced team and they may be off as they know which games to turn up. Toronto seems back into their offence stride and aren't too bad early while Boston seem to have struggled early of late. Think Toronto can stay under the total here.
Memphis 1st Quarter over Utah & Memphis -1 over Utah - Probably the best play on the card today, Memphis 1st Quarter over Utah. Utah are pathetic early, only worry is they got smashed at home and may look to bounce back, just don't think it's in their nature. Memphis playing really well since the break and are 7 - 0 ATS off an upset win and 12 - 5 ATS against winning teams. They'll turn up at home here against a struggling Utah team and get the job done. There is one worry, Utah are 5 - 2 ATS after getting done as a favourite.
Miami -6.5 over Milwaukee - Rolling with the "Super Friends".
New York +1.5 against Phoneix - So many trends points to an easy cover for New York here. Them playing road games, as an underdog, off an upset win as an underdog. The only thing is they've got the Lakers next up.
Golden State -9 over Cleveland & Golden State 1st Half over Cleveland - Loving these plays as you take a look at Cleveland's losses away from home, and it doesn't matter who they play they get done by double digit regularly. They've lost their last 14 away from home, take out the Miami game which they had extra reason to turn up, and they have not kept the margin under 9 in their past 13 away games. Golden State have 18 of their next 22 at home and will be looking to things off to a good start. They've cover a fair few lately and Keith Smart has said he's got his rotations and will only play 8 each game. This means their 2nd quarter won't be take as much of a hit with their starters playing a fair few minutes. Cleveland are also missing Gibson and Parker whilst the Warriors are healthy for the first time this year. Blowout here, and early for mine. Lack of bench for the Cavs.
LA Lakers/New Orleans Under 190 - Lakers are hitting Unders at home and the Hornets after giving up 110 to the Warriors will get back to playing defence. They've also got added incentive with the Lakers beating them in New Orleans a week ago. Unders are also 7 - 4 when the Lakers play a winning team.
