had a few weeks to let the dust settle

Nets +8.5 No circus with Irving out. Nets playing well in his absence. Keep it close.

Portland -2.5 Blazers may be starting to put pieces together after rough start. Off very good performance vs. Bulls and back home.

Atlanta +14.5 Bucks off a respected opponent in Jazz and gave max effort. Now get losers of 9 of last 10 in Hawks. Might not be as motivated in 4th quarter.

2-1 +1.9 units

Portland -7.5 Going back to the Blazers. Addition of Anthony gives then another wing scorer but also strengthens the 2nd team.

Portland -4 1st half

LAL over 235.5 Wiz's propensity to push the pace plays into Lakers offensive efficiency. Look for alot of easy baskets.

3-3 -.3 units

Philly over 206 Both teams on back to back. Pacers want to shoot more 3's. If they shoot better then yesterdays 6-26, this goes over.

4-3 + .7

Nets +4 Nets continue to play well in Kyrie absence. I grab the generous spot

Raptors - 2 Jazz on 5 game road swing. Lost in Milw and Indy and beat Memphis. Small spot for Rapts to cover.

6-3 +2.7

76ers Under 208 Jazz were able to rest starters in 4th of blow out loss yesterday. I look for a better defensive effort from Jazz on last leg of road trip before heading home.

7-3 +3.7 units

LAC over 229 These two shot 11-62 from arc last month in game that ended at 209. Addition of Anthony helps scoring but not defense. Looking for game to be more in the 230's tonight.

Washington -1.5 Wiz return home after west coast swing. Lost by 4 to Magic in Orlando last month. Magic road woes continue.
