    Gonna have to disagree, Denver very average on the road.. Coming home from a long road trip I like the Rockets to win by 6

    If you're interested in people following your thread, you may want to keep track of your record. I simply put my numbers at the top of each post (for example 21-13-2 for wins-losses-pushes). It's easier to see who's credible and who's not when they're transparent with their picks, and people may want to play your picks if they see you consistently picking winners. Just a thought.

    BTW, Suns are playing back to back games tonight, and generally suck. They should get blown out by the Clippers tonight imo.

    Easy winner with Hornets/Pelicans (-5). Glad the TrailBlazers decided to start their All-Star break early...I'll be going off the grid today...not liking any sides so I'll give a total:

    Miami/Oklahoma City under 204.5.

    Slow start by Hawks, but the Kings realized they were selfish ballhogs in the second half and reverted to their old ways. Hawks with the easy cover:
