    Miami -8, ORL -3, NYK +6 who won't cover?
    Miami matches up very well with the Clippers.

    D Wade has size and experience on Gordon(23 ppg), and Chris Bosh won't let Griffin have a career day. Outside of these two Baron Davis won't be able to carry the Clips with not enough depth to keep up with the big three.
    Additionally LAC aren't know for defense and their strength(Griffin) on the boards is not an area where MIA finds its success anyway. MIA defends well against perimeter teams, and without this Griffin can hardly carry the team
    The problem is the line is -8 and it seems teams have found some success in slowing down MIA recently. This line is inviting a backdoor cover to the hometeam.

    ORL meanwhile has a formidable opponent on the road but their depth and size match up well with NOR who normally finds itself to have problems with shooting and deep teams. At the same time NOR is noticeably better at home. Howard will eat Okafor for a mid morning snack and Bass matches up with D West well. I suspect Ariza will go off, but Arenas off the bench is too much for NOR. Both teams play outstanding defense and although ORL is better, close games to good home teams are hard to go against in the NBA

    Finally we have the Knicks. Outside of their LAL game they have been outstanding thier last 10. The knicks can run Utah out of the building, but the weakness NYK have found have been against big bodies. I suspect they will try to outrun Kirilenko and Milsap, but on their third game in 4 days of a roadtrip not sure if they can hack it. +6 is very suspect as I'd put it at about 1.5-2 alerting me somebody is in the know on Utah at home here(then again Port got half as much last night and were run out of their own building). I don't think Utah can keep up, but I suspect they will try to bang the ball around but unless NYK are way off +6 seems fine to cover at.

    So which of these will not cover? I want to go in on 2 of them but my mind is cycling between Knicks(will they poop out) and Miami (will LAC keep it close like 4 out of last 5 opponents)
