The first two games I bet earlier so the lines may have moved.
Blazers -1.5
Portland has been slumping of late and they desperately need to get off the schnide and salvage this road trip. I think they get it down tonight against the Bucks, who may be absent a player or two in the frontcourt. The small number is too good to pass up. Portland is well overdue.
Pistons +5 -120
Detroit also has been slumping lately but I think they catch the Rockets at the right time. Houston just played last night while the Pistons have been off since Wednesday. Dwight Howard won't be roaming the paint for the Rockets and that should be advantageous for Drummond and Monroe. After getting embarrassed by the Sixers their last outing, I expect the Pistons to be the more motivated team here and I get them at home with points.
Spurs/Clippers O 202.5
This looks like an auto play to me. Spurs will be fresh after having a couple days off and the offense will hopefully be crisp and energetic out of the gate. The Clippers will have to match the pace and energy or risk getting run out of the gym. As long as L.A. isn't lethargic after playing New Orleans last night, this should go over... there are too many scorers on the floor, for both teams, for the total to stay below the number.
