Lets Hoop it up
San Antonio @ Denver
Carmello Anthony will be playing his second game back off his injury so expect a good performance in this game. The Nuggets like to run at home in their mile high altitude advantage as they average over 112 points on 48.6% shooting in front of the home folks. The Spurs have not been the lock down defensive team we have seen in recent years after the retirement of Bruce Bowen. The attitude on defense has clearly changed on this team. Denver comes into this game rested off a blowout win at home against Dallas on Tuesday. Denver coach George Karl will have his players running tonight against an older Spurs team creating a fast tempo at home in front of a national audience.
OVER 205.5 (Main Play)
The Nuggets welcomed back Carmelo Anthony back to the lineup last game after he missed the previous 8 due to injury. When you get back the NBA's third leading scorer, that is a very good thing, unless your a Spurs fan.Denver sports a very impressive 23-4 mark at home, while the Spurs win less than half of their games away from the AT&T Center.
Denver-5.5 (small play)
Orlano @ Cleveland
Cleveland is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games, and 42-11 on the season. During their current 12 game winning streak, the Cavs have played only a couple of solid teams, though they did straight dominate both Memphis and Miami lately. At one point during the streak they had won and covered in 6 straight games. But Orlando is also playing some good basketball, and while the second game of a back to back is often tough, I’m not sure last night’s 20-point piecing of Chicago wore the Magic out too bad. Orlando has won 9 of their last 11, but has been even more impressive in their last 8 games as Vince Carter has seemingly become more comfortable in Orlando, excelling in a handful of games and putting up big numbers to lead the Magic to victory.
Orlando+6
