Nba

New Jersey -3 V golden state
-------

New Jersey matches up fairly well with this team, and unlike some teams I do not believe in the warriors on a back to back. If the nets can score from the post and control the pace of play this will be a
91-85 victory for New Jersey. Brooks scoring 10+ a game makes them a whole different team from the perimeter and in their second unit .


Spurs V Magic OVER 194
-----
I know both teams are on a back to back , but with the pace of the offense that San Antonio runs and the woeful way they played in the second half last night I think coach Pop is going to run his best plays early. Conversely I do no think the match ups favor D, but rather if you break down the starting lineups and bench lineups most of them favor the offense. Terk can't keep with Jefferson in the post, Nelson can't guard parker, parker can't guard anyone. Neal plays no d in the open court so J Rich and JJ should get shots. No one to stop howard, and I have a feeling that there will be more HACKA-HOWARD going on so that extends the length of the game and puts the team in the penalty very early on.


OVER 186 DETROIT V MINNESOTA
------

The wolves have not been scoring a lot lately, but this is an opportunity at their home court coming off of a shitty road trip. i think they put up points on Detroit and their guards will have a hard time keeping with detroit if they get hot. I think this score is going to be something like Minnesota 98-92


Clippers +2.5 V Mavs
----
Mavericks are road favorites in this one, but that is because of the recent injuries that the clippers are undergoing. However they really should not matter tonight because as long as Griffin plays this game is going to be tough for the mavs to win. The Clippers should play this game uptempo and the Mavs HAVE TO BE TIRED after playing their way across the country from boston to cali. I think if Jordan can get involved in the offense it will be tough for the mavs to cover.


Sacramento +5.5 V Indiana
-------
The pacers are an excellent team, but as our friend OB was telling us, the kings have only lost to decent teams. The kings just came off a tough road trip and they need a win, this is a lot of chalk to lay in sacramento for ANY team, nevermind a young tired pacers squad. This will be the 3rd time the pacers have laid more than 5 on the road this year, they covered the first two.
