    I like a lot of dogs Friday night

    Dunno if this is a bad thing. I've heard people say that friday nights are not the night to back road teams in the nba.

    Right now I like:
    Utah +6.5 at Philly
    Portland +3.5 at Boston
    Lakers +1 at Minnesota
    Clippers +5.5 and ML at San Antonio

    I like Utah and LAC the most. I think Portland is the right play but they have been so disappointing. This is a huge game for the blazers on this roadtrip and they badly need a win like this to avoid falling more in the standings.

    Utah plays bad on the road. Why so much love for Utah?

    76ers coming off huge blowout win over Boston. Utah has been pretty decent on the road haven't they?

    Portland ML has dropped a lot. Sharps have been on this team a lot this year though and it hasn't paid off.

    portland is a very bad play, that team is what? 5-13 on the road


    same thing with the clippers, they've been mediocre and are running into a red hot buzzsaw of a team in San Antonio



    the best underdog play of the night is Hornets + 10.5. Denver is 2-9 ATS last 11 games at home

    5-13, including something like 2-7 against winning teams. That's not a terrible play but I think the line is pretty sharp, I see philly winning by 4-8

    my bad, I thought they beat Denver the other night. Still 14-3 last 17 games and the clippers are 3-6 last 9 games


    I'm expecting a solid 8-10 point win there for SA (especially getting Manu back)

    It will be a close game. I think 76ers pull it out but +6.5 is the play.

    I'm thinking about the Kings. Dallas with old legs and Sac-town at home, plus the reverse line movement.

    That Lakers game is tough; I'd take MN money or nothing .. just an opinion.

    What do you think about the Bucks tonight? Fits into you underdog night of picks.

    I like bucks but the knicks really need this one to end their skid. I don't think i will play milwaukee tonight.

    Right now, I have 3 plays that i am going to lock in soon - Jazz, Blazers, and Clips. Kings are possibly a fourth play and that will be it. Looking at the college card and trying to narrow down those plays now.

    Possible revenge factor in the LAC game? LAC did throw away a win a few weeks back at home against SAS.

    I'm surprised you guys aren't all over New Orleans tonight


    Denver's been atrocious at home recently...they should not be getting anywhere near 11 points

    Does revenge factor count as much on the road as at home? I don't know t-wizz. Spurs look like a good play.

    Should spurs be more than -5 though?

    More than 6 would be pushing it. Guess they will win by a good margin though.

    Clippers is one of the worst teams defending the 3, esp on the road and their second unit has been looking like absolute hogshit.

    IMO Sac, Bucks, and Detroit are great plays. Still liking Minnesota as well.

    I would not trust the Blazers to cover such a small spread on the road. I won't touch this team away from the rose garden. Everyone thought they would end their road woes against Minnesota the other night, but it was the same old lame Blazers.

    IMO DET is a strong play that I haven't seen anyone mention. Detroit is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games. Still waiting to hear Joe Johnson's status, but either way I don't think it matters much. Also, Josh Smith requested a trade demand just a day or two ago. You'd have to imagine that will be on his mind. From what I've heard though, Hawks have no intent in shopping Smith.

    I took Phili 1Q and 1H. That way I don't have to worry about the 4th quarter with them.
