Raps lost their last 2 games to the Kings and Clips ending their 5 game road trip with 2-3 in frustration. Pelicans on the other hand lost in Brooklyn last night after going 3-1 at home. With 4 days of rest I see the Raptors regroup and bounce back in this one catching the Pelicans who will be playing back to back tonight.

Don't be fooled by this line. I know Detroit was playing insane lately at home winning their last 4 against who? Orlando? Philly? Brooklyn? Denver? We all know these are shitty teams with shitty road records. Tonight they will be facing San Antonio with a 19-6 road record. So far the Spurs are doing well on their rodeo trip bagging 3 games out of 4 only losing in Brooklyn for the reason they're were playing back to back going in that game and played a hard fought one in OT the night before in Washington were the Wizards defeated the Blazers and the Thunder in their floor going in that game where momentum surely was on the Wiz side. With the Spurs rested, I see Pops going for this one pushing for a good rodeo trip result this year having 4 more after this with 2 winnable ones in Boston and Phoenix. The other 2 will be tough at Portland and L.A. Clippers. So a possible 6-3 rodeo trip this season will be on the Spurs resume. And oh, Detroit just fired their head coach so that's another factor. With a short spread, I'll be going with the mighty Spurs.

Orlando will be head over heels after beating #1 and #2 seeds in the league, Indy last night and OKC Friday night. But we're not gonna talk about the Magic. Indiana playing back to back is no problem. They are 2-0 playing back to back at home and are 8-1 this season following a straight up loss. Denver on the other hand lost their last 2 games. Tonight Ty Lawson will not play and that's a big factor. He scored 12 points and 10 assists when the Nuggets defeated the Pacers last Jan. 25 in Pepsi Center. We saw how frustrated PG was in last night's lost to the Magic plus tonight will be a revenge game for them against Denver. I see them jump early on the depleted Nuggets team.

Celtics just shot 35% Sunday night at home against the superior Dallas team snapping their 3-game winning streak. Bradley was limited to only 5 points so was Sullinger to just 11 points after scoring 31 the other night. Bucks on the other hand are on a slump and will continue to do so as majority of their starters are injured. The win on New York was a game winning 3-ball by Brandon Knight and so was the close game winner over the Pistons last Jan. 22. If it were not for the 2 games, Bucks would have been 0-19 in their last 19. I see Boston bouncing back against the slumping Bucks even Rondo sits this one out.
