4/2-
New York Knicks -2.5 -101
Like the Knicks here. Back against the wall, Brooklyn on the road and off back to back. Knicks are a scary team to back but now is as good as anytime with the only hope of them making the playoffs is playing well the last 7 games and hopefully edging out the Hawks.
Detroit Pistons +10.5 -105
I believe this is too many points for a division rival especially as bad as the Pacers have been playing. The Pistons have not been playing well but I doubt they are not up for this game. The Pistons should be able to get to the FT line and create TOs for easy transition buckets. Pacers seem to have zero offense and beating a team by more than 10 with the kind of offense they have been playing will make for a difficult task.
Cleveland Cavaliers ML -120
The Cavaliers have been playing well recently. The Magic have also not been so bad in the current 4 game home stand. I think the edge in this game goes to the Cavs because they have been playing more consistent, even on the road, and they should be able to hit some big 3s down the stretch against the Magics defense. Orlando is also 2-10 after 2 days rest. Cavs are 3-0 this season against the Magic.
Chicago Bulls ML -125
Chicago is just the better team and this one and we are getting very favorable odds. The Hawks have been in free fall with the only win in the last 7 games being to the 76ers and that game was in Phillys hands until late in the 3rd quarter. The Bulls can run the Hawks off the 3 point line where they can get hot sometimes. Chicago has won all 3 games against Atlanta and are 9-3 in Wednesday games (for whatever that is worth).
