Orlando@Houston
Gotta stick with Yao and the rockets at home tonight. They will win in a low scoring game. Houston+1.5
Portland@Memphis
Portland has dominated the grizz over the last few years winning their last 6 against them. They have also won their last 4 visits to Memphis. Memphis meanwhile, has been playing their best basketball of late winning their last 4 games.
With a playoff berth already guaranteed, and a shot at gaining home court for the blazers, they still may let up here if they dont come with the right attitude.
I'll make a bold statement and say Memphis wins outrite tonight!
Give me the Home dog and the points! Memphis+6.5
Thought i'll just use this thread for my plays today. There are 2 games that I like today:
Pistons@Knicks With 5 games left to play, Detroit basically controls it's own destiny currently holding that final spot in the East with a two and half game lead over the Bobcats. I think this visit to Madison Square is just what the Pistons need as the Knicks have lost 8 of their last 10 there. Revenge will be a factor as the Knicks won in ot in detroit in their last game. Pistons even up the season series here while the Knicks will lose and rack up more ping pong balls for the lottery draft. Pistons-2.5
Jazz@Mavs
Sticking with the home team here. We all know how utah are on the road. Utah have lost their last 10 of 11 visits here in Dallas. Jerry Sloan will most likely try everything to get this win on the road for a bit of confidence but the Mavs are gonna play their hearts out to get out of that eighth seed. Mavs-3.5
