Hi everyone. This is my first shot at picking NBA games here. If I have time I'll come back and write up my reasoning for these plays. Good luck tonight. :)

Indiana -4 (Cris)
Denver +12.5 (V-Wager)
Orlando +3.5 (SportsInteraction)

Alright, here's a real quick write up on my picks:

Indiana -4 (CRIS)
You don't get a 23-8 record without beating the teams you're supposed to beat. The Knicks certainly fall into that category. Though the Knicks have been playing decent of late, they just aren't in the same class as the Pacers. This line seems a little too low.

Denver +12.5 (V-Wager)
Denver beat the Sonics 3 out of 4 straight up last year and only lost by two when they met a few days ago. For this reason the line seems unreasonably high. Also factored in is the fact that Brent Barry is doubtful and Rashard Lewis could be slowed by illness. Basically, it comes down to the fact that I don't think Seattle has the fire power to beat the Nuggets, or anyone really, by 13.

Orlando +3.5 (SportsInteraction)
New Orleans has dropped their last couple home games and without Baron Davis could find it hard to keep up with T-Mac. The teams have identical records right now and while a New Orleans win is certainly possible, I doubt that it would be by a very wide margin.
