Hey, I'm relatively new here, but I thought I'd make a post to start keeping track of my NBA picks.
Here are my picks for 3/25/10:
Chicago -1.5
Dallas ML
Clippers +6.5
I'm pretty confident in these picks, the only one I might have slight doubt about is the Clippers pick, but the Rockets are decimated by injuries and poor play in their past two games while the Clippers have the talent and size to beat this Rockets team (Kaman against Hayes should be no challenge and the Rockets two other big guys Jeffries and Hill are both battling injuries).
Chicago I think is a solid pick here, they are a better team than the Heat when healthy, they're at home (Miami is leading 2-1 in the season series), and each win for both teams has been on their home court.The last meeting between these two teams was in Miami and the Bulls almost stole that one without Rose, Noah, or Deng. Today they have Rose and Noah back which are huge factors, especially now with Rose's newly found 3pt range on full display the past two games (not to mention he has been scorching hot lately in all areas) and Noah being a major factor defensively and on the glass.
Dallas should win pretty easily against the Blazers in my opinion. The Blazers won the last game when Andre Miller exploded for 52 points. I highly doubt that will happen again now that the Mavs are fully healthy with a very deep bench, and it shouldn't take long for them to find their chemisty now with Terry and Dampier back. The Blazers will really struggle on the offensive end, I'm fairly certain about that, and the Mavericks have so many offensive weapons that they certainly will not have a problem scoring the ball so take the Dallas Mavericks moneyline at +145.
Overall Record so far: 0-0
