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 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 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.

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?

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

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 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.

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.

I still think the Bucks down the road are the better team this is a short price to grab them here.

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.

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

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.

The Knicks shot 60% last night which everyone knows is extremely to follow up especially with travel and a back to back situation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
