Celtics +3.5 @ Nets - Taking Boston here. This is a Celtics line. Boston wins this game outright and starts off its road trip with a win after a horrific road trip recently.
Knicks @ Lakers -3.5 - Lakers win and cover here. Knicks regression starts now. They are clearly an improved team but I'm not buying them as an elite squad. Public perception down on LA. Lakers were just +6.5 at Knicks and got beat pretty bad. Now they're -3.5? I'm taking the Lakeshow.
Thunder +3 @ Heat - This will be my biggest play so far of the NBA season. Already took Thunder +3 -110 (20x) but will add to it when reduced juice comes out. OKC wins this game. We can use the revenge angle or whatever you want but right now Thunder are a little better than Miami. OKC was rolling but got a loss out of the way Thursday night. No games since then so they've had plenty of time to prepare. No doubt they've had this game circled since the schedule was released - this game means more to the Thunder and they will take it.
Rockets +4 @ Bulls - I lean Rockets here but only a small play. Houston playing some great basketball right now so simply rolling with the hotter squad. I don't think Chicago can keep up with Houston right now.
Nuggets @ Clippers -7 - Obvious Clipper line here. I've been saying all year I don't think Denver is as good a team as they were last year. I realize they've had a brutal schedule so far. Clipjoint should manage to cover this number.
Good luck and Merry Christmas. I will post the rest of the plays as I make them.
