Detroit vs New York
The Stons started off quite sluggish last night in Miami but hung around and played their game in second half. It's a must to win those kind of games on the road if you want to be at the top of the conference. I think the Detroit players are liking some of the new things they can do offensively and have settled into a their defense somewhat. They see how depleted and soft East is right now and maybe are garnering some hope for a playoff run.
The Knicks are doing what I thought they would. They are improving. Yes, things would go a lot quicker if Franchise/Starbury just vanished somehow but Isiah is a solid coach IMO and he is making this a better team than LB could. Different mindset and there is actual a bleak of sun now in NY. Still a long ways to go. I think this team plays a bit better on road sometimes when they know they are not going to get booed going into lockerroom at halftime.
Detroit has won seven staright and is playing very solid ball. Typically the last few years this is the kind of game Detroit hasn't got up for. I see a particulary lax effort out of the Stons. I think they wake up sometime in the 4th quarter and pull out a tight one.
Missed the early number but I still have to bite on this situation
New York +7 +102
Portland vs Orlando
First thing here, even thought the Pacers shot so well the other night in Portland the Blazers still killed them on the boards. I think the Blazers have the horses to control Howard up front from having all the glass to himself. Prizz should be in better form tonight.
I like this Orlando team this year. I said playoffs and they are rolling that way. That being said I think they are way overvalued here. Your telling me that they would be laying double didgits to the Blazers at the O-Rena? Seriously, sometimes the linesmakers outdue themselves. Portland will be a live dog at home many times this year.
I think this is one..
Portland +4 -105

whats up with the lakers bein 2.5 dogs against the clips.. Werent they just favored last time? Its not like homecourt will matter.. what do u think big man.
Inspekdah
My man, Novak Djokovic!
Homecourt seems to matter in the LA series. LAC season ticket holders, the fan base, etc.. all favors whoever host the game. Doesn't make sense but that's how it is. Lights won't be off like a LAL game....
sure the travel aspect isn't there... but there's also revenge factor for LAC in there... I'd lean Clippers? Not sure actually.

Pretty much a regular
I love betting the Knicks....reminds me of that scene at the beginning of Gotti when they are all sitting at the table counting money and John takes half his stack and throws it on the table and says, "I'm getting that down on the Knicks"

the clips were actually a 1.5 point fav in that game
I agree with inspekdah too about they different fans playing a role and the revenge factor. starting with that first game against the lakers, the clips ended up with a 5 game losing streak and Sam Cassell said that they let that loss to the lakers effect them too much. he said that a loss to the lakers should not effect them like that anymore but it still did, i guess cause the clips are still trying to prove they aren't just LA's "other" team anymore. i expect them to come out with revenge on the mind after a nice tune-up against memphis, only thing that worries me is Kaman not being able to play.
as for today a like the knicks as well
