November NBA Picks

NBA Overall 2010-2011 1-2-0 -1.20 units (33.33%)


Portland +2.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I was hoping to see this line go up a little bit (instead it went down). Portland has a good history against the Bucks. Portland is coming into the tail end of a back to back game. They played so poorly against the Bulls I think we should see them bounce back.

Wizards +6 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Reverse logic here, Knicks coming off a huge win against the Bulls just last night. Could see them being expected to just blow out the Wizards here. But a back to back game, one being on the road, one being at home can be tough, especially when you didn't play for an extended period of time. The losses Wizards have are Orlando and ATL, nothing to be embarrassed about there. Think the Wizards might upset the Knicks here.

NBA Overall 2010-2011 2-3-0 -1.30 units (40.00%)

Cavs +2 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

They just seem to be a more established team right now compared to the Nets who just have a lot of players up and coming.

NBA Overall 2010-2011 3-3-0 -0.30 units (50.00%)

Denver +3 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Certainly don't think a lot of people will agree with me. The line just seems kind of weird to me. The Lakers are undefeated. The Nuggets just gave up 144 to the Pacers and lost by 31 to them. I think the Nuggets usually play well against the Lakers, especially at home. Nuggets win 3 of the 4 games they played against LAL last year. I think we see a great game with the Nuggets probably pulling this one out.

NBA Overall 2010-2011 4-3-0 +0.70 units (57.14%)

Raptors -1 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I don't even know where the Raptors points are coming from. It looks like the schedule maker had no sympathy for them because there games so far this season have been against...Miami, Orlando, Charlotte, Golden State, Lakers,Portland and Utah in the last 7. They know how to keep it close, but they can't seem to get it done. I think there will be a change of pace with the Wizards. Wizards are 2-2 at home but they barely won both those games, and they were both against 2 terrible teams. Oh yeah, John Wall being out for this game should help the Raptors too.

NBA Overall 2010-2011 4-4-0 -0.40 units (50.00%)

Suns +9.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Nash might not play, this is a situational play. Seems obvious the shitty Suns will be blown out on the 2nd half of a back to back after getting crushed by Miami. I think the Suns might play better without Nash if he doesn't play though.,

NBA Overall 2010-2011 4-5-0 -1.50 units (44.44%)

Spurs -4 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Spurs have played great at home this year and have been lately easily winning all there home games. Magic are 3-0 on the road, but all 3 games were bad teams. All 3 games, they barely got by them. A 4 point win over Indy, a 1 pt win over the Nets, and a 3 point win over Charlotte. Judging by those stats I think Spurs might end up taking this game easily.

NBA Overall 2010-2011 5-5-0 -0.50 units (50.00%)

Mavs +4.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

They are playing pretty well on the road right now. I think this game will be pretty close and maybe the Mavs just win

I really like Mavs ML here.

NBA Overall 2010-2011 6-5-0 +0.50 units (54.54%)

Jazz +1.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Going against the grain here. Jazz have been outright dominated by the Lakers in every way, shape, and form. Even at home Utah can't seem to win. I feel like this team has gotten better this year and they are the dark horse to win the NBA Championship. They are a tough home team, there only losses at home have been against all playoff teams. It will be a tight game, but I expect UTah to finally beat the Lakers

NBA Overall 2010-2011 7-5-0 +1.50 units (58.33%)

Blazers -160 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Just biting the bullet on the juice, have a funny feeling it will be a close game. Portland on a 3 game skid so it seems like a good game to bounce back in. Blazers played poorly on defense against the Nets and Harris won on fire. I've seen other people discussing it and I basically agree, they should show up tonight defensively. Pryzbilla is doubtful for tonight, but hopefully he might play to help out on the boards and defense.
