Timberwolves -4.5 (5 units): Game of the Month.
(10-2 on 5* selections year to date).
I had this card sipohned off yesterday depending on the fact if the Twolves lose and if the Raptors lose considering both teams are playing home and homes, However, with the given line in the Raptors game I laid off as the Wizards could show some bite as they did at Boston, but of course, they don't have Caron for this game. We have profited the last 2 weeks, the last month and this basketball season considerably, so I am laying the wood down down today to end off the month strong and likely taking it easy tomorrow. It amuses me when other touts, such as even my friend Brandon who claims, "Today is my largest card of this season!" - by the way I know many do not like Brandon as their handicapper, but then againk, he is neither my handicapper and I only know him as a friend when we used to work for Steve Budin at **********. By the way, Steve Budin actually owns ********** - a company that I sold to him a year ago and that is how we became acquaitances and I merged with sportsadvisors before joining to head up **********. We are all still good friends. But, when Brandon says, I have the biggest card of the season it amuses me - To me, if you bet for the "day" you are toast. But, if you bet for an entire season, and understand that it is a woven framework and that a game last month or in this case yesterday, intricately plays a role into a wager the following month or 6 weeks when these 2 teams meet again. Such is the case today. Thus, this a game in particular why I laid off yesterday simply to wait and see if the Bulls can pull of a surprising win as irrelevante of the fact they won yesterday, I still considered them to be an underdog to how the Twolves have been playing.
In short, the Wolves are in a great spot today. If you remember, this play has built up for 2 weeks. I noticed the Wolves showing a lot of heart a month ago and took the over in the game against the Warriors, showing that I belive the will be an "active underdog" and this game will go over - which it did. I then took the over when the Twolves played the Suns on the same basis, they were active again and that game went over with another Twolves outright win. This team also beat the Nets at home and had a tough loss on the road at Chicago and I believe they will be fired up to win here. Don't forget, the Bulls lost on the road to Memphis by 14 and Atlanta by 21. This team does show tinkers in the armor when they are on the road, and with Gordon still doubtful and Duhon out, I think this team will struggle in a revenge game for the Twolves on the road today. Kirk can't do all the work all the time. The Twolves are in a good spot as the Bulls are 0-6 ATS following a straight up which shows their inconsistencies and the Twolves are 4-1 ATS follwoing a straight up loss.
Sixers: -7.5 (3 units)
he Sixers need a big home win and I believe they get it here. I have them as a strong motivation to win this game in a big way tonight as if you remember this team lost on the road to Milwaukee earlier this year. Don't down play the Sixers, they won on the road at Charlotte and are a strong defensive team. I have said it over and over again that if the public is hounding a public underdog such as the Bucks, there is a reason for it and I believe they are on the wrong end. The Sixers remember the 4 point loss at home they took on their floor in January, they return home after their road trip and this is the same team that beat Toronto at home. I look for the Sixers to do very well tonight and the Bucks to have some lack of scoring without Redd and the Sixers to likely win by double-digits here. The Bucks have not covered their last 4 road ballgames while the Sixers are 6-2 ATS against teams with a straight up losing record meaning they win and cover the games against the teams they are supposed to.
Kings -7.5 (3 units)
You are well aware that I like the Kings and I get the off a small road win here as they return home after a 3 game road trip. The Kings face a Bobcat team that is making strides but beat a Clippers team that was banged up and a Bulls team that were banged up. The Kings are not banged up - anymore. They have Artest, Bibby, Martin, Miller and Moore who are all sound players and face a Charlotte team that has the ability to lose on the road and lose big - such as 28 by New Orleans. Are the Kings as good as New Orleans no - but at home, this team is dominant such as that 34 point win against the Nets. I look for the Kings to do well at home today where the home team is 6-0 ATS during these mathcups and the Bobcats are just 2-8 ATS as big underdogs on the road of this margin. Meaning if and when they lose, they lose big on the road.
