10 Units Lakers -5 Lol .... I would risk my entire house and life insurance on this game lol

[Deke101]

My Early Night Picks, before the lines move:

Lakers -5: 3 Units. They are hot right now. And time will tell if ANYONE takes Memphis. Memphis is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 home games. LAL 5-2 ATS in last 7 road games.

Utah -8.5: 1 Unit. The Pacers had an OK showing vs. the Lakers but let up in the 2nd half to lose by 16. That was the first of 5 tough western conference teams that Indiana will play during their road swing. I expect Utah to win this easily despite there below average outings as of lately. Indiana is 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games. Indiana is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games.

I may add more later.

[jeffries]

NJ nets -2 ... hammer on this game before the line jumps... they been on a roll

this is exactly why I am not betting on this game tomorrow. NJ Is my hometeam and I'll tell you right now they DEFINITLY have the potential to beat the Bobcats. The bobcats are pure garbage. The Nets can easily blow Charlotte out, but my team tends to get a lead, then slack off and let the other team catch up. I'm staying away from this game, I just don't trust it. NJ has had some big wins, and the line shouldn't be -2 here. Almost makes me wanna take the bobcats but i know the Nets can beat the bobcats on any day of the week, they just SLACK!

[W0lfy]

NJ -1 1/2
LAL -5
Wash -2

The laker game won't be as easy as people think. I'm from LA and love the lakers, but sometimes these below 500 teams play them like theres no tomorrow. Even with that said if you're betting on that game you cant really go with Memphis heh..

[BossE]

What about that Wash/Hou game, any comments on that?

Im so on that -5 LA game.. Memphis... cmon

[kbnickchiu]

Washington -2.5
LA Lakers -5.5
Kings +6.5

[iceberg2788]

i wouldnt bet on new jersey over charlotte nj is a gamble every time they play if they wanted to they could be able to win easy but vince doesnt play everynight

[tevari]

memphis isnt as bad as a lot of you think, but they won't cover 5.5

[timmymor]

Minn +1
Lakers -5
Nets -1.5
Wash -2

[SportsG]

Was -2.5 (10 units)

add
Orl -5 (5 units)
Mem +6 (5 units)

[ronniejamedio]

dont know how you can bet orlando with confidence. been unreliable lately. -5.5 too much to give on road I think. laker line at -6.5 that is a bit much as well.

couple of unpopular ones- sea +9- is going to be interesting to see sea run in gun vs. clev streaky play.

wash-2 1/2. they have been too hot and houston has been on a pretty long road trip here.

teaser

lakers -2 1/2, chicago -2, sea +13, utah -4

[jeffries]

i wouldnt bet on new jersey over charlotte nj is a gamble every time they play if they wanted to they could be able to win easy but vince doesnt play everynight

I'm from NJ. Vince Carter does play every night and the NJ are more then capable of beating some of the best teams in the league. Richard Jefferson can have off nights though on his shooting which affects the teams

[single shaker]

thanks

[ronniejamedio]

FYI: two cappers on fpbe.com pick memphis at +6.

not sure how much that means, but just wanted to throw it out there before you bet your house on it.

[w1ck3d]

I'm new here but these are the two I like -
Lakers -5
NJ -1 & 1/2

both plays for 5 units

[Deke101]

They are doing it just to look cool and stand out from the rest, just a chance to make a statement that they are the best if Memphis covers, and if the Lakers cover, people forget quickly. The package I have, they always take the weirdest bets, like Under in Phoenix games, taking the Knicks and T'wolves to cover. I'm not sure why they don't just put out the easier bets, instead of trying to be hero's all the time.

[sonnythekid]

Hi

my Pick's

New Jersey Nets -3½ Over 194-(Kidd will attempt to become the first player in 11 seasons to record three consecutive triple-doubles when he leads the New
Jersey Nets against the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday.)
Cleveland Cavaliers -8 Under 194 -(The Cavaliers, winners of five of their last six contests, got their usual extraordinary contribution from LeBron James, who
scored 24 of his 39 points in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 93-90 victory over the Toronto Raptors...)
Houston Rockets +2½ Over 188-(Yao Ming had 30 points, eight rebounds, six assists and four blocked shots and Houston received 41 points from their reserves
- including a career-high 22 from rookie guard Aaron Brooks -
in Saturday's 103-91 victory over the New York Knicks.)

P.s. Good luck if you betting...

[Deke101]

haha Harsh I was referring to ronniejamedio's comment that 2 cappers have Memphis +6. And I was just making a point about some package picks that are always the most controversial ones. Example, Phoenix Unders (highest scoring team in the league). Knicks and T'wolves to cover (worst teams in the league). And they don't cover and win those bets as far as i know.

I am on the Lakers for some units as well harsh, good luck to us.

[Deke101]

Yao's best game of the year, and rookie Aaron Brooks career game, and 41 from the bench....All good for a 12 point win over the Knicks, woooow... Sounds like I'll consider a play on the Wizards.
