It's a day of really good teams playing at home against really bad teams. Which means it's a day of double digit favorites, which I never play. So let's look at some decent single digit games.
Pick: Pacers -6
If you take out the 127 point game that the Kings had that people seemed to be focused on, the Kings have been averaging low 90's at best. While the Pacers are still in high hopes, at home, and averaging 100+.
(Predicted Score: 110-95)
Cavs +8 / Suns -3 Parlay
This is the "don't really expect to win" parlay. But I couldn't pass up a 1.5 line movement in the Pistons direction, when in reality, the Cavs play every sub .500 team down to the wire and usually only end up losing by 3 or 4 points in OT.
And the Hornets beat the Suns 95-100 not too long ago, but this time the game is in Phoenix and Nash is back in full swing. And while the Hornets are struggling to beat the Jazz, the Suns were a basket away from beating the Lakers. Plus, West is out for the season after last night's ACL tear.
Grizzlies +12 / Spurs +7 Parlay
I've stated my opinion for the Grizzlies being the most underrated team before, and it seems they still are. They may win another big game outright.
And I know the Spurs struggle to win in Portland, but they only need to not lose by 7.
