Hawks really saved my day with the comeback there, tonight I like
Two rare 2 unit play on
New Orleans Hornets -1 -105 (first quarter) The Knicks have been an absolutely attrocious first quarter team so far this season. The numbers do not lie, they have been outscored by an average of seventeen points per game in the first quarter. They have been able to put together a comeback and force overtime the last two games, so I chose not to pick the Hornets to win the whole game because of that, but I am very confident in this pick. My prediction is the Knicks continue to play terrible defense and at the end of the first quarter, are down 39-28.
Pick - New Orleans Horents -1.5 -110 (first half)
New York is not as terrible in the second quarter as they are in the first, but they are still yet to outscore the opponent. They have kept it close though, only losing by three points per game in the second quarter. I expect the defecit from the first quarter to be too big to overcome in the second quarter. I like the Knicks to make it somewhat closer, but still be down something like 64-57
And the 1 unit plays
Pick - Over 202.5 Knicks/Hornets -105 (5dimes)
The Knicks have terrible defense, and when they can hit their threes, they can light up the scoreboard. I do not expect them to do most of the scoring tonight though, but I expect for New Orleans to score around 110 points tonight. I also expect the Knicks to make another second half comeback and score in the 100's. Also I would not mind the Knicks forcing another overtime, but I am confident this game will be well over the total without an overtime needed. My prediction is the Hornets win this one 112-105.
And no analysis on these
Jazz -8 -104
Grizzlies +1 -101
Nets +7 -101
Over 175.5 Nets -105
Man, bricked pretty hard on the 1stQ and 1stH bets, at least the over's looking alright I guess. Not gonna give up on these 1stQ/1stH bets against the Knicks. Will definently give it some serious though for their next game.
