    8. Memphis at San Antonio 94 107
    9. New York at Miami 102 115
    10. Atlanta at Portland 94 100

    10 games tomorrow, gonna be interesting. Above is a projection stat.
    But below is a selected games that I'll provide more analysis & focusing on:

    Phoenix at Indiana 106 94
    The Suns is sitting just below 8th in the Western Conference with 5 teams battle out for 8th & 7th playoff spot. I think they had prepare well for this time of the year and so far look like it's coming together and set themselves up for the 2nd half. Facing Indiana in their 2nd game of the 6 games road trip, they will have Aaron Brooks on board can fill in minutes in 1 and 2 guard spots. The game plan is a balance basketball with Steve Nash direct the traffic & live dribble looking for open shooters or take it to the rim; play a good all around defensive game plan using Lopaz & Gortat is effective off the bench to slow down Roy Hibbert, close the lane & control the board. They have a good defender in Mickael Pietrus who can lock down Indiana's 1 to 3 positions. In general the suns have been playing some D, more so than normal. When on the road they will play aggressive and try to build a good lead to give a good cushion against late rally by most home teams.

    Indiana have an excellent lineup themselves that hold out as we had seen a few time against excellent team such as Miami and Orlando. But in the past few games struggle with shooting and close off game after a good lead.

    Statistical favor Phoenix, they are 13-10 against teams in the east, 5-2 against central, while Indiana is 8-13 overall against teams in the west.

    Phoenix:
    Over is 11-2 in PHO last 13 Sun. games.
    Under is 12-3-2 in PHO last 17 vs. NBA Central.
    Under is 7-2 in PHO last 9 vs. Eastern Conference.

    Indiana:
    Over is 7-2 in IND last 9 overall.
    Under is 11-5 in IND last 16 home games.

    what to play
    take Phoenix (+3.5) - low risk
    or Phoenix (+3.5)/under 213.5


    LA Lakers at Oklahoma City 106 100
    LA is playing so well of late including one at Portland where Ron Ron doing more than jumping, running and standing still. He put 5-6 of 3's right off the bat, between him and Kobe combined 61 points. At OKC I'll be surprised if a repeat performance between these two again, but would expect a 25 points,9 ast from Kobe, 12 from Ron. Somebody else will step up, Lamar likely, the bench, Gosal.

    Don't expect an easy game at OKC, it will be a playoff atmosphere.

    key numbers:
    LAL are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall
    LA 7-2 against NW
    OKC are 5-22 ATS in their last 27 Sun. games
    Over is 23-9 in OKC last 32 home games.
    Over is 13-6-1 in OKC last 20 Sun. games.

    Current Streak LA W3 OK L2
    Last 10 7-3 6-4

    what to play
    I like LA +1.5.

    Result: LA 90 Thunders 87 Win ,

    Recommend play Portland -4.5 at home

    NHL Space

    I had some success in NHL yesterday & will add some play here.

    Tampa Bay at NY Rangers
    both teams is in Eastern Conference, Tampa rank 2nd, NYR 7th had met 3 times in regular season
    1/1/11 TB 2 - NYR 1 (OT)
    12/23/10 NYR 3 - TB 4 (SO)
    11/24/10 TB 5 - NYR 3
    Tampa Bay is 15-11-3 on the road and this is their 1st road game in a month & there are some concern by observers how it's all gonna played out.

    2/25/11 New Jersey W 2-1 Regular Season
    2/23/11 Phoenix W 8-3 Regular Season
    2/19/11 Florida L 2-3 (SO) Regular Season
    2/17/11 Detroit L 2-6 Regular Season
    2/15/11 Philadelphia L 3-4 (SO) Regular Season

    Looking in their last five games at home, Tampa had a 3 games losing streak & closed out with 2 wins.
    NYR had also 2 wins on the road &
    14-13-3 at home.
    2/25/11 @ Washington W 6-0
    2/22/11 @ Carolina W 4-3

    Conference Tampa 29-12-5 NYR 23-21-4

    Quality team will prevail in this one
    Prediction
    Tampa 3 NYR 1 Result:
    Tampa 2 NYR 1 WIN

    Boston at Edmonton
    Prediction
    Boston 3 Edmonton 1 Result: Boston 3 Edmonton 2 WIN


    Colorado at Anaheim
    Col 1 Ducks 3
    Result: Col 2 Ducks 3 WIN

    it's something about these last 2 games they had loss at home, especially against ATL
    GSW is Road Record 7-18, also Min potentially can go off on this one too, they had stop 7 losing streak in the last one.

    recommend not to play o/under. but very likely to be under. in the last game ATL held GSW to just 79 points at their home while themselves score 95. Portland like to play a slow grinding themselves.

    safer to go with the line or just Portland win right out. gl

    I am 100% from the free-throw line for NHL pick today lady, this is crazy. Could go 100 % all chosen picks if Portland play ok in a few hours or so.
