The Sausage King of Chicago NBA Picks Thread

[AbeFroman]

Going to give this a shot, here we go! No units to go with my picks, just my musings.

Celtics +2.5- I feel this is a big bounce back game for the Celts, and wouldn't be afraid to play the money line in this one.


Miami/Indiana Under 197- Both teams average around 100 for and 97 against, so this o.u seems to be set perfect. But without Haslam and possibly Wade, I like the under here.

Denver -2.5- Denver is 9-1 in their last ten against Golden State, who is reeling as it is.

3-0 yesterday, again no picks come with units.

Tonight's NBA card:
Hawks -4: Much like the Celtics bounced back last night, Hawks do so in similar fashion in this one tonight.
ATL/NJ Under 190- Both teams play at a slower pace, and the three ball doesn't really scare me here. Like the under.
Cavs +3- I don't think the Pacers are as good as they've played recently, and I feel Cavs show us why tonight.

Rough night last night, 0-3 puts me 3-3 on the year.

Here we go for tonight's slate:

Heat +5: I don't know why, but like a lot of other guys, just like the Heat tonight.

Bobcats -4: Everything points to the Knicks in this one: 5-4 on the road, 4 game win streak, and 4-3 in conference, but I think the Bobcats rediscover the three tonight and cool them down.

Raptors -5: Iggy is back for the Sixers, but I have no issues laying the points here, as the Sixers are a mere 1-7 on the road.

Mavs +4: Oklahoma City has been good of late, but the Mavs are 8-3 as November road dogs since 2007, and are a good bet tonight.

2-2 last night, moves the record on the year to 5-5.

Going to take the Clippers and the points tonight.

Care to share the muse? I just can't see LAC winning this one, especially without Kaman & B. Davis. I expect Evans to terrify that-rookie-what's-his-name.

Sorry that I missed your post, but LAC did cover.

3-2 on the season.

Back in to it tonight:

I'm going:
Heat -5.5: I could explain why I am on the Heat, but there is no logic behind this game that's going to sway anyone one way or the other. You either like the Cavs in this one, and think Lebron coming back will be too much for him to handle, or you think none of that matters, and the Heat will roll. I believe the latter.
Golden State -2.5: Not sure why, but have a good feeling on this one. Sharps look to be on Phoenix, but I'm just not sold on them yet.
