NBA Picks

I've had a lot of success thusfar in the NBA season with 3 team teasers. I bet through a local and get 10 points betting 1.6 units to win 1 unit.

Today's tease:

76ers +15.5
Mavs +13
Lakers -2

Thoughts?

Reasoning:
76ers +15.5, Sixers have been playing well in last 11 games, granted a majority of those were at home, but with Meeks now in starting lineup, this looks like a different team. Since run started on Nov. 27 vs. Portland, they are 2-1 SU on the road and 3-0 ATS. Chicago did not look good last game without Noah.

Mavs +13, Mavs are the best road team in the NBA, not that anyone doesn't know that after last night. Both teams on B2B and Orlando still trying to figure out new lineup. Public is pounding Mavs plus the points; therefore the need for a tease. Don't see any way they lose by 13.

Lakers -2, Bucks are reeling. No Brandon Jennings has them trying to find a true perimeter threat. No one on this team can guard Kobe. That being said, the Lakers' struggles with teams below .500 at home have been well documented and they could be looking ahead to their Dec. 25 game with the Heat. The Lakers win this game, but my confidence in them cover -12 is low.

Also thinking about playing UNLV +4.5 (buying 1 point) away at Kansas St.
