Philly-Memphis+5,5 home
Elton Brand had his best game this season against Charlotte on Wednesday. Philly needs him to be effective in low post scoring and on the board. Iguodala continues to play as a leader and his Sixers need this win because follows three games stretch away from home.
Memphis run two games winning streak, after lost the previews seven. Rudy Gay and O.J.Mayo are the guys who step up, but the front line is very inconsistence.
Clear home win.

Toronto-Miami+3 home
Toronto returns from Western trip with 1-3 record and two blow-outs. Only Chris Bosh played his best in that trip.
Miami has some concerns about Q-Rich and Haslem. Wade is ready to go but needs help.

Indiana+4-Cleveland away
Indiana missed the opportunity to win six straight games, against the Knicks at home. They lose 19-points lead that had in the middle of third quarter. Tonight returns Troy Murphy.
Cleveland even without Shaq and with concerns about LeBron’s wrist is better team than Indiana. The defense makes the difference.

Atlanta-Houston+7 away
Atlanta has the best record in the Eastern Conference and they deserve this. Good balanced team on both ends and becomes better year by year.
Houston plays good games so far and the spread of 7 points is big. Despite they haven’t a proven big man in the paint, they have score in the post.

Boston-Orlando+6 away
The biggest game of the schedule. Both of them made some moves on the preseason and will see how the Celtics can limit Howard and Carter and how the Magic can limit the 3-amigos.

Oklahoma-Washington+3,5 away
Washington with Jamison back is playoff team. They have score outside and inside and they are very experienced team.
Oklahoma has a lot up and under in their games. Kevin Durant is always solid and carries the team on his shoulders. Westbrook and Green are the co-leaders, but Harden gives the energy coming off the bench.

Dallas-Sacramento 201,5 over
Sacramento is the youngest team in the league and rookie Tyreke Evans alongside to Jason Thompson they have all star potential. Their game is based on fast tempo and coach Westfall pushes his players to run.
Dallas can run and score also and I think the total of 201,5 is low.

Milwaukee-Charlotte+3,5 away
With Bogut out with injury, rookie Brandon Jennings is the only really danger for the Cats.
I expect Coach Brown to overplay him in order to shut him down.
Also the total of 182 is very high for this one.

Clippers+9-Denver away
Fire Dunleavy !!!

Golden State-Portland 207,5 over
Golden State wants to score more points than opposite team. No defense, no defensive mind.
Portland can score points too.
