    5 huge favorites tonight, who doesn't cover

    new orleans -11 1/2 VS miami: no strong opinion either way, sure the heat are awful but i think they match up with the hornets somewhat nicely, and d-wade can always keep things close singlehandedly

    houston -10 1/2 VS minnesota: of the 5 games, this worries me the most- energetic young players might give the rockets a bit of trouble if they push the tempo.

    la lakers -12 1/2 VS milwaukee : dont see how milwaukee can keep this close, granted they've played decently well without redd but the lakers just went to new orleans and beat the hornets by 29...

    golden state warriors -9 1/2 VS memphis grizzlies: should be a track meet, 9 1/2 might be a little much for the warriors, i'd be inclined to take the points here.

    dallas -9 @ seattle: who knows, Dallas has puzzled me ATS this year, losing to teams like Cleveland SU and almost a wade/shaq-less heat squad.

    input is encouraged, good luck all

    Lakers should blow Milwaukee out. The way the Lakers are playing, I can't see the Bucks (who have been awful this season) even keeping this game close. I see a 25+ point blowout, nothing closer

    how about Char-Cleveland....the way Charlotte has been playing I wouldn't be surprised they beat the Cavs at their home.

    I think GS may be the only team that covers tonight.

    I think Miami will play tough, Houston is really blowing people out, Bucks play the Lakers tough and Dallas hasn't been great on the road this year.

    Then again, what do I know....I'm new to the whole thing anyway.

    Lakers look probably the best out of those 5. Not a game I can bet on, since the line is -12.5; just too high for my style.

    But with the Lakers playing like a TEAM, and having 1 great player 2 really good players and a handleful of good players after that against a team that only has: ummm, nba players?

    But my basketball bet tonight is Charlotte +8 vs Cleveland

    Dallas is only 7-8 on the road playing the first of a back to back. I like Seattle +9 tonight.

    Bucks have been awful. Dallas has been very inconsistent coming to a close loss to Shaq-less and injured D-Wade.. I would stick with Miami and the points. Lakers blow Milwaukee out, and Charlotte loses by 15 to Cleveland

    Golden State Covers

    i think youre reading a bit too much into the miami debacle... dal just drubbed pistons by 20 and theyre a veteran squad - i threw 5 units on the under (thanks for the tip tevari) and 10 units on DAL ML, basically like picking some cash off the ground. if i had some bankroll and balls i wouldve gone dal -9 as well
