Golden State is one of those types of teams that you can't give 10 points to in any situation unless you have a Championship caliber team. They are one of the best tweener teams in basketball, despite the bad record. On Friday evening they go to the Toyota Center with 7 straight losses to face the Rockets. The Rockets have been skating by lately alternating wins and losses, as they search for the right formula to playing without T-Mac they have gone 2-3 ats. They got by the Clippers in their last game by the skin of their necks.
The Warriors are going to go all out in this one, They have a 2-1 ats record in their last three games overall with Houston, and a 3-2 ats and 2-1 straight up record. With a spread of 9.5for this game, I encourage bettors to jump on this one tonight and buy a point and play this game at +10.5.
The over is 4-1 in games in Houston between these two with average over/under lines of 198, and actual game scores of 204 on average.
The 1st halves are usually Golden State 49.9 (50) to Houston 53.6.
Warriors+10.5 I am playing this one immediately
I absolutely love the game of the Blazers. They are strong at every position on the floor and have no visible weaknesses. They play great on the East Coast as well going 6-0 straight up. They have an straight up record of 0-4 staight up in Boston with a 1-3 ats record. But the new Blazers are playing out of their minds, and so is Boston, so what we will do is attack this game rom another angle and go after the total.
What I see is that the over has occured 4 out of the last 5 contests in Boston with totals lines that have averaged 184.5, and actual game scores have averaged 195.4. And that wasn't even this group of hot shooting Blazers making overs. Both teams this year collectively give up 184.1 points per game, which isobviously where the linemaker got his total from, but when these teams usually score 195.4 against each other, obviously they know howto attack each other's weakness. I say that the three's will be falling from the sky and we take the over in this game.
As a light option, since i think that Portland is better than most of the teams that Boston has faced this year (6-0 versus the East), I suggest teasing Portland with the over as a "sweetener"
Portland/Bostonover 184.5
The best kept secret in the NBA is the Charlotte Bobcats. As my wife can attest with boots and bags in hand, they are a covering machine. So why not play them againt a team that they own against the spread. The Bobcats are 1-4 straight up against the Bucks in Brewland, but they are an amazing 5-0 ats in thos games covering spreads that have been 9 points on average. Their average margin for loss was 6.5 in those games that they lost (4).
The linemaker has taken noticed these results and have given Milwaukee a much smaller number than they normally get for this game (-4.5). The Bucks come into this game playing with less form than they did while they went on their 7-2-1 ats streak, but they did pick up a win against the Bulls in their last home game. Charlotte is scheduled to play the Cavs after this game, so the Bucks will be getting their full attention in this game. Charlotte comes into this game hot 4-2 ats in their last 6 games. I say that their groove keeps on going and they pick another ats win while the Bucks pick up another victory. I suggest waiting until the very end before taking them. If the line goes under the 4.5, we will buy it back to 4.5 only on one condition. The consesus is heavily in the Bucks favor and the line goes down.
Charlotte+4.5 or more closer to gametime
Toronto has fired their coach, and we all know how teams respond in the game immediately following a firing. So this is purely a situational play, combined with the Jazz injuries which has leveled the hardwood. The Jazz are shorthanded and out of gas. the Raptors come into this game losers of 2 straight and 0-5 ats. They are 1-4 straight up and 2-3 ats in games in Salt Lake City. What i want to see is a line fo Utah-8.5 or so with one of the injured players coming back from injury (to mess up the minutes and make the spread higher). If any of them comes ack and the spread is 8.5 or higher, then I will play Toronto. Anything less than that, and I may have issues with taking this bet. This is their third road game of their west coast trip, and after a players' only meeting while in between games, I say that they come out and play with great inspiration in this game.
Toronto+8.5 projected (Win one for Sam)

Resting = high scoring = over 184.5 = Money in my pocket =
