Toronto-Detroit 189 over
Toronto is the favorite to win here, but the spread of 9 points is huge. Last night Detroit won the Magic, in a very weird game, while the Pistons played without Hamilton and Prince and Orlando saw Carter and Howard to played limited time due minor injuries.
Toronto has Bosh and Bargnani in form and averaged 108 ppg. Calderon run the team to a fast pace tempo, so the total of 189 is probably low.
Orlando-Phoenix+9 home
It depends of Howard’s and Carter’s playing time. Howard suffers at shoulder and Carter at ankle. Obviously Orlando has good scorers out of the 3 points line, but the guy to go is Howard.
Phoenix won at Miami last night after a fabulous performance of Steve Nash. Barbosa was out with wrist injury. Amare and Hill are very experienced players and took advantage the Steve’s night.
Looks like an easy win for Orlando, but be aware of Howard and Carter’s situation.
Washington-Miami+3 home
Gilbert Arenas is in form and Wizards rolling. Very good and strong back line that can scores threes and running on the floor. I expect playoff year for Washington.
Miami didn’t have the answer for Nash last night. Wade scored and assisted many plays, but the young guys had poor presence.
Tonight Miami has a chance to win, only if Wade scores a large amount of points.
New Jersey+10-Denver away.
Without Harris and Yi, New Jersey hasn’t any single chance to win here. Two nights ago they scored just 7 points in third quarter at Charlotte and were scoreless for about 11 minutes.
Melo and company is on the zone.
New York-Indiana+5 home
Something bad happens to Indiana and rumors said Danny Granger is unhappy. The team is 0-3 and if lose to the Knicks, they‘re going to 0-4 for the first time in franchise history.
New York is unpredictable, but in the last games shows a passion and commitment to win. If they play in the same intensity they‘ll win.
Minnesota+12-Boston away
Boston is very efficient team in the starting of the season. Garnett is healthy and the new comers Rasheed, Daniels and Shelden Williams gave depth on the bench. None of the regulars played more than 30 minutes last night at Philly.
Minnesota is rebuilding around Al Jefferson and Corey Brewer, with Kurt Rambis on the bench.
Easy win for Boston.
Houston-L.A.Lakers 202 over.
Last year in second round of the playoffs, Houston without T-Mac and Yao forced L.A in seven games. Then followed the trade of Artest-Ariza.
Tonight the speedy Brooks good organized Rockets they have to score over 100 points, if they want to win. L.A. has power in the front line with Bynum-Odom and in slow tempo game has advantage.
New Orleans-Dallas+4,5 away
Dallas outscored Utah 44-18 in the last quarter last night. Dirk is in good shape and also Shawn Marion found himself and fit perfect with the Mavericks.
New Orleans needs something more than all stars CP3 and West. They are play good defense but in the other end everything depends on Paul.
Dallas is better team.
Sacramento+5-Atlanta away.
Kevin Martin scored 48 points on Monday and the Kings needed over time to beat Memphis. The team is very weak on defense and they have problems against proven good teams.
Atlanta won last night at Portland after brilliant performance of Jamal Crawford, who came from the bench. The Hawks are developed dramatically and they get this type of games.
Golden State-Memphis 226 over.
Don Nelson and his Warriors play only offensive basketball. Monte Ellis, captain Jax and rookie Curry are great scorers.
Memphis on the other hand with Iverson on the line up, is also good scoring team. O.J Mayo and Rudy Gay are in the 20+ zone.
The total of 226 is huge, but the teams can score.
