Los Angeles Clippers -10 v. Phoenix Suns | | 112-101 |
Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show |
04/14 07:35 PM NBA (705) LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS VS (706) PHOENIX SUNS edit
Take: (705) LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
Reason: Play Clippers -10 Tonight grab the Clippers -10 against a Suns team that has very little to play for. They seemed to play with effort against San Antonio a few nights ago but still lost by mid-teens. I expect less effort tonight and for the Clippers to play a more potent offensive game than the Spurs showcased.

Charlotte Hornets +8 v. Detroit Pistons | | 77-116 |
Loss | -107 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
04/12 12:35 PM NBA (705) CHARLOTTE HORNETS VS (706) DETROIT PISTONS edit
Take: (705) CHARLOTTE HORNETS
Reason: Play Charlotte plus 8 The Bobcats have had two poor performances against the Raptors and Hawks. Two potent offensive teams that torched the unbalanced Bobcats. Detroit is not the caliber of either the Raptors or Hawks. To see the line movement jump from 6 to 8 would have to do with the poor performances of the Bobcats. This is where I'll back the underdog Bobcats against a young Detroit team that Stan Van Gundy is still trying to mold.

Toronto Raptors v. Orlando Magic +6 | | 101-99 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
04/10 04:05 PM NBA (701) TORONTO RAPTORS VS (702) ORLANDO MAGIC edit
Take: (702) ORLANDO MAGIC
Reason: Play Orlando Magic plus 6 In theory the Magic should not be playing for much and the Raptors have all to gain as they look to play in top form before the playoffs. That's not the way I'm going to handicap this play. The Raptors defeated a Bobcats team in blowout fashion the other day and the Magic came from behind against a Bulls team that scored against them with no problem. The Magic are getting solid play from their young players and I expect them to hang in this game at home. Grab the six points.

Houston Rockets v. San Antonio Spurs -6 | | 98-110 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
04/08 05:35 PM NBA (717) HOUSTON ROCKETS VS (718) SAN ANTONIO SPURS edit
Take: (718) SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Reason: Play San Antonio -6 The Spurs are starting to look like the "Best in the West" at an opportune time yet again. With the playoffs lurking they're playing their best basketball. Houston is also playing well. This seems to be a high spread considering how offensively balanced the Rockets are. I expect the Spurs momentum to carry-over to tonight and would not be surprised to see a double digit win here. |

New Orleans Pelicans +5 v. Memphis Grizzlies | | 74-110 |
Loss | -108 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
04/08 05:05 PM NBA (715) NEW ORLEANS PELICANS VS (716) MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES edit
Take: (715) NEW ORLEANS PELICANS
Reason: Play New Orleans plus 5 The Pelicans showed they're not going away, with a great effort and win last night against the Warriors. Memphis is always a tough place to play but I like the young leadership Anthony Davis is showing right now. Each time these teams play scoring has been a premium. With scoring low--I'll take the points even in a back to back game situation for the Pelicans.

Cleveland Cavaliers v. Milwaukee Bucks +7.5 | | 104-99 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
04/08 05:05 PM NBA (713) CLEVELAND CAVALIERS VS (714) MILWAUKEE BUCKS edit
Take: (714) MILWAUKEE BUCKS
Reason: Play Milwaukee Plus 8 LeBron and the Cavs are getting towards that **asterisk** playoff mode. This team has had two waves this season. Before LeBron sat out at the end of December no one knew the direction of this team. After his return they've played fantastic with new additions. At this point their second seed is all but locked and I expect this game to be a bit of a challenge. Jason Kidd's Bucks play with toughness each time on the court, and I look for them to cover the large number of eight.
