Nez 2006 NBA picks

[Brad F.]

So after having some consistent success in the NFL lately, I've been watching lots of NBA and anazlyzing picks on multiple sites and doing my own on freesb to get a feel. I'm up 11 units on freesb just betting totals and spreads, so I'm going to start tracking my progress on 2+2 with daily/semi-daily picks as I finally start betting some real money on the NBA.

Please note that I am bettting based on gut instinct and my own analysis. I'm not using trends and such so I probably will be a losing bettor over the long run. But this is partly to keep track of my bets in a forum and also to get advice from y'all.

So... YTD 0-0 +0

Picks for 12/16:

Nets -4.5 (2u)
NO Hornets +4.5 (1u)
Mavericks -7.5 (1u)

The Nuggets are coming off the loss to the Cavs and they might be without Camby. The Nets played well in Denver and I think this is a pretty solid bet.

The Mavs are playing terrific basketball and I think are a much better team than Orlando. 9 or 9.5 feels right here.

The Hornets have played 4 solid games in a row, including a win in Pheonix. The revenge factor might be there for the Suns, but the Hornets are playing with passion right now which will make this a close contest.
