Taking a look at the lines, I'm going to keep a close eye on three games:

- Philly (+1) I don't quite get this line. Philly has played fairly well this year, and blew a late lead to Phoenix. Utah has really underperformed, and has lost four games by 10 points already (vs Denver, vs Houston, @ Dallas, @ Boston) Deron Williams is having back problems and Okur, Brewer and Millsap production hasn't been where it was last year.

- Sacramento (+4) I lost two bets this week taking against Sacramento as small dogs against Golden State and Oklahoma City on the basis that Kevin Martin was out. Well I watched both games, and Sacramento has some young talent, and seems to really feed off the energy of their crowd. I've been really impressed with both Evans and Thompson. Houston has been a surprise in my eyes thus far, but I'm still not sold on these guys. They've got a lot of hardhat, lunch bucket type guys, but a win against a confident Kings bunch may be tougher then expected tonight.

- Denver (-3) After a long road trip, the Nugs will be glad to be back at Pepsi Center. I think Denver overlooked the Milwaukee game, looking forward to tonights matchup with Kobe and company. I expect a chip on their shoulder going against the Lakers, who bounced them in the Western Conference finals last year. LA exerted a lot of energy going up and down the floor with Phoenix last night, and can they keep up with another run and gun style team?

Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated. Thanks Guys.

- Minnesota (+11) Not as much logic to this one, more of a hunch pick. The T-Wolves haven't been playing close games lately, but early a few weeks back, they took both Boston and Phoenix right down to the wire. I expect Jefferson to bounce back and dominate Dampier. I see Dallas winning by about 7.

Except for Sacramento +4, they all look great. Philly ML is the easiest of them all. Utah are simply not a road team.

i beg to differ, they have had quite a few good wins on the road, i cant remember the teams off the top of my head but i will check up on that

Nba is the hardest sport to cap imo

I like your picks

[Pride>UFC]

isn't utah the worst road team...like ever?

[Regul8er]

I have booked two NBA bets for the night, and that will be all.

Philly +2 (-107)
Sacramento +4.5 (+100)

Will probably add Morehead State at +20.5 a little bit later. Goodluck tonight yall.

As soon as the public sees that Deron Williams isn't playing, and that Eric Maynor is Utah only point guard suiting up tonight (Ronnie Price still has a toe injury) this line will go up to probably 4 or 4.5 before tipoff. Get your money on Philly FAST!!
