Running pretty cold in hoops lately. You seriously might want to think of fading me until I can get my act together! However I really like the Kings here. Sacramento is a better team than their record shows, they've lost a few really close battles and I think they come out tonight real focused. Its hard to bet against the Thunder as they've been hot lately, but they've been on a long road and I think they go into this game a bit worn out. If somehow the Kings can stop Durant from having another 56 point game, they stand a chance of winning here. This is probably a long-shot and doesn't fit the public consensus at all, but I'm a contrarian by nature and see the underdog as undervalued here in this game. I'm being adventurous with a moneyline bet here on the Kings, but I feel pretty good with them at least covering the spread.

Wilson Chandler is reported with a groin injury this morning, Denvers top Forward who averages 13pts a game. He is good enough to play in the game they say, so it must not be too bad. Denver's defense does stink, but so does Portland. Portland is also coming off of a 4-game road trip and has only had 1 day rest. Denver hasn't played since the 19th. That total of 221 is way too high and even though these two teams score a lot and their defenses are weak, I don't think its going to be all fireworks tonight. Especially with an injured key player on Denver and Portland being exhausted from their road tour. Denver is going to exploit Portland here and I expect them to keep it close or win.
I pick Denver +7 and ML +248, might even go for the under 221 but not sure yet.
Milwaukee Bucks +8
Milwaukee Bucks +320
New Orleans Pelicans +3
