Rondo is back and Boston is at home. The Raptors are putrid on the road and if it gets out of hand early then don'T be surprised to see Dwyane Casey bench his starters to rest them for Sunday's early game.
Dwyane Wade has been ruled out of the PHX game after not participating in the shootaround and LBJ did not participate either. Looks like both will miss the game and I haven'T heard news on Chalmers either.
I know NY just lost (in a tough matchup) to arguably the NBA's best team, but the Knicks are back at home against a Pacers team that's putrid on the road. If anything, you'll see a bunch of Pacers getting into foul trouble in MSG against the smart and athletic Knicks. The Knicks have beaten most teams b over 10 points in MSG...go for it!
Continue to ride this monster because they are no fluke. They've grown in the past 2 years (in which either ZBO or Gay were injured on multiple occasions (including in the playoffs)) and have the perfect balance of star power and multiple people being able to step up. It's scary to think about how good they could be had they kept OJ Mayo! Anyway, the Nuggets are a good team but they have lost 3 in a row and are bad on the road (2-5 overall). In case you've noticed, I feel very comfortable betting on margins over -5 if a very strong home team (Memphis is 4-0) is going up against a team that's not good on the road. Denver's loss to San Antonio (100-126) two nights back is an additional factor that has led me to really pound this bet!
I feel very confident betting on Memphis and I hope they don't prove me wrong!
LAL -6 ....The Lakers are at home and nobody will be able to stop Dwight tonight. Go for it. This is the only bet for tonight...will be concentrating on one bet from now on (at least on most nights).
