75-45 NBA

Friday Night Action:

Milwaukee +5 V NYK
-----
Milwaukee matches up well with the knicks defensively and I think they are undervalued at this line. Neither team has covered a spread in a while so there is really no angle to be had by comparing that trend. Basketball wise I think the knicks will have to pull out a couple grind out wins to be able to get back to covering spreads of five or more. Expect a big game from jennings.

Celtics -7 V Phoenix
------
Celtics really need this game, and funny enough its people over valuing the suns victory over the knicks that has them getting love tonight. Suns have absolutely no one at the 1 or 2 that can hold down ray and rondo. Should be fun to watch.


Cavaliers +5
------
The bulls are tired, so are the cavaliers. Both teams got some rest before this game so hopefully we will see a performance from each team more consistent with their normal billing. I think Irving can hang with rose defensively and he just may try to have a big game against the best PG in the league on his home floor. Gibson is a better backup than anyone rose has in his bench, and I think they will try to keep him in check. Jamison could be trouble for either Boozer or Gibson, he is extremely underrated and is a very versatile pro PF. Varajao is a carbon copy of noah so they will go back and fourth.. I just see cleveland covering.


Minnesota +5 V CLippers
------
So the clippers are tired. Third game in four days and Minnesota is playing probably its biggest tv game tonight. I think that the clips let this one slide and get beat on their home floor. darko is crafty as well as love I think they can get Jordan in foul trouble.

Under 179.5 Lakers V Magic
------
Lakers can't run with this team and they need a win and a cover!! Magic dont have a dominant match up on offense and tend to be more defensively oriented when playing other top 10 teams. I think that fisher will lock down the pg position for the lakers but the lakers guards off the bench can't score right now. McRoberts matches well with Anderson and Davis so i think he will help hold down the low post.

Philly -6.5 V Atlanta
----
This is a huge line for two teams only a couple slots apart in the playoff race. I think there is an underlying reason and the hawks won't score with philly.
