Pacers @ Magic, Pacers -1.5 points, 1.95 LOST
Pacers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA at the moment and whilst we appreciate they have had a tough schedule recently (they played on the road last night) they have been able to swap players and give the bench minutes due to winning by comfortable margins. On the other hand the Magic are in slight turmoil without (believe it or not) Glen Davis. They are currently on a 5-5 run in the last 10 and have a losing record at home this year. Furthermore the Magic are letting their opponents shoot at 50% on FG's where as Indiana are letting their opponents shoot only 43%.I see Indiana taking this around 90 - 82 and therefore should cover the spread.
Nets @ Hawks, Brooklyn to win 2.35 LOST
The nets are on an upward curve at the moment with Deron looking like he may finally be coming to the party with some more influential performances. I am never a massive fan of backing the nets but to put it quite simply I am struggling to see the Hawks perform tonight without the suspended Josh Smith. They recently scored under 60 points vs the Bulls and offensively they are beginning to struggle. The value on Brooklyn seems to good to ignore!
Grizzlies @ Spurs, Spurs -5.5 points 1.95 WON
The Memphis Grizzlies are on the slide at the moments after losing by over 20 points in their last two games (v Clippers / Mavericks) and their trip doesn't get much easier as they go to the number 2 team (for a long time now) in the NBA power rankings, whose home record is very, very impressive. I feel that the Spurs match up well with the Grizzlies with Tim Duncan's experience and nouse dealing with a large Memphis front-court. I approach this with a degree of caution with no Ginobli but think that the Spurs will run out fairly comfortable winners
Tasty treble
All of the below games I feel comfortable with the home teams taking them however, like last night, I feel some of the spreads are too large. Therefore I want to place them in a treble
Thunder, Celtics and Trail Blazers all on the money line = 2.26 (Pinnacle) LOST
Best of luck guys
