1-1 last night with the Sixers/Sonics over missing a push by 1 point (had a late small bet on the Clippers under too, so I guess it was really 2-1)
celtics @ wizards UNDER 198.5 - by the time the game tips off, it will be almost 5 days since boston last played a game. looking for them to start out slow and shoot poorly in the first half. the wizards let up the most points in the nba, but someone will have 12+ rebounds tonite as a lot of shots CLANK-CLANK-CLANK off the rim. the celtics are in the top 3 in the NBA in least points allowed (around 87), and im looking for that to continue against a wizards team that has played better than it really is up to this point. the wizards were the first team to score 100 on dallas with 112 put up on sunday, but against a veteran defense like the celtics, i dont see it happening here tonight.
minnesota @ detroit OVER 184.5 - minnesota visits detroit tonight after putting up 108 on the miami heat last night. it was their best all around effort of the season, with garnett leading the way once again (25/21/8) and getting help from wally and sam (21 and 19) to beat up on shaq and d-wade. tonight features the return of ben wallace for the pistons, who have scored a surprising 96 points per game this year. there will be a lot of action on the boards leading to second chance points, shooting fouls and quick fast breaks with both teams having the ability to push down the floor and score at will on each other.
other games i like tonight (minus analysis):
memphis @ portland OVER 183.5
denver -5 vs. toronto
sonics -5.5 @ NJ
good luck /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif
