But I've been finding more winners than losers of late obviously.

Thoughts -


Lakers have not played great at home but i'm expecting big things out of Kobe...
It pains me to be betting on the Lakers since I despise them so...and they are right behind Memphis in the playoff race (MEM is 7th, LA is 8th).
boston still isn't that great imo. This line has moved to 3.5 in the past couple hours so I'm glad I got the extra half-point on this one. Boston is 27-26 overall but a lousy 8-17 on the road.
It looks like Boston has gotten hot lately...and while they are indeed playing better (6-2 in their last 8) they have also played 7 of their last 9 games at home (as well as 9 of their last 12) so I think that falsely inflates how much they have actually been improving. They've been REALLY well-rested from general lack of travel and have racked up a nice run of victories as a result.


Detroit has been destroying everyone. New York just kinda sucks (although has been playing some closer games of late).
10 points is a lot...but the line was 10.5 earlier and I think there is value here. A well rested DET team might just pound the crap out of Marbury and company. DET is 19-7 at home and NY is 9-20 on the road.


CHA has been reasonable at home (11-39 overall, 9-16 at home). MIL has been awful on the road (20-30 overall, 6-20 on the road).
Unfortunately MIL won at CHA on 1/17 99-92.

But I think CHA has been playing better since then.
Since that loss to MIL....CHA against the spread at home is 5-1-2 in their last 8.
In home games where the spread is 6 points or less CHA is 4-0-1 in that stretch.

I think NJ is a huge play tonight. Vince Carter wants to wallop those guys, and he's capable of doing it.

vince carter should just stick to what he's good at....dunking and complaining.

that was a misprint on the det line..had it the same as u 50

I'm also taking the over in DET/NY.

I was leaning towards this pick earlier....but then seeing that 20five is taking it and his thoughts on it pushed me over the top.

so I now have 4 picks for tonight.

[MicroBob]

went 2-2

record since 1/22 is now 40-20-1

record this past week is just 6-6-1 though
