Gosh what a waste of money yesterday! Dwight Howard out with a knee injury, New orleans tanking it when it mattered the most...oh well, back to the drawing board.
The Kings are one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA, and New York is too. but new York also can score with anybody and they are playing better these days. i am going to capitalize on that trend and play this one game a couple of ways. I like the New York Knicks to go over their team total which estimate to be about 107 with a 4.5 point spread. I also like the points as this is an out of conference game and the Kings played the Lakers late last night then had to travel back up north to face these Knicks. The Kings don't enjoy the same success as in years past at home. I'll take the Knicks to get the job done.
New York team total to go over 107
New York+3.5 (buying a hook)
The Chicago Bulls have had a lot of bad starts lately. What they need is a good fast start and no way to do that better than to get home after a loss to the Grizzlies in a game they were expected to win. The Bulls are 4-1 ats and straight upagainst the Nets, and according to power rankings, they should be favored by 3 in this game. i suspect that after the upset against the Grizzlies, they will be favored by that number by gametime, The public will jump all over the Nets but I will take the Baby Bulls to play with energy at home against an older Nets squad that has bad shot selection.
Bulls-4.5 (should go down)
I am also eyeballing Detroit's team total against the Bobs as they have hit up the Bobs for 105 points on average the last 5 times that they have layed them overall. The new smaller lineup didn't produce a cover last night but it did produce 114 points. They have gone over the century mark 10 times already this year, and the Bobs have given up 100 in two of their last 3 games. I am very interested in what their number will be for the team total for this game. They own the Bobcats offensively. i just can't take them to cover a spreadthese days. they have lost 4 out of their last 5 ats...

Let me guess, the public will hammer this to death quickly and it will be -7 by morning.
