A proposed 3-teamer

I'm not crazy about the Atlanta pick, Philly is desperate after the last two close losses, I think they will close this one out at home. GL though.

This is exactly the kind of contribution I need. I was looking at it from the revenge angle that having lost at home to the 76ers, the Hawks might go there and upset them. Underdog is also 6-2-1 in this series. Could you suggest an alternative pick?

Atlanta might play with revenge in mind, but I would still contend that they are too weak on the road. It could/should be close, but I don't think there is any value with the Hawks Ml at +110. I see you have Cavs/Det under which appears to be a very popular pick. Personally, I also would contend that Portland at -5.5 is a good call. The blazers depart for a 4 game road trip after tonite, and need to win every game at home. They're 22-14 at home ATS, and have already handled Utah by 14 two months ago. AK47 is doubtful for tonight, and I would expect Batum/Aldridge to run amuck in the paint against the Jazz after their late game last night. Best of luck.

Portland is the strongest play of the day in my mind, along with Indiana. Utah has not covered the spread as a road underdog since late December, and fares poorly in the second of B2B games, winning twice SU and 3 times ATS in 15 opportunities.

Thanks RD.
