Warriors/Nets over 192.5
I expect Golden State to control the tempo of this one. They will force Brooklyn to play at their pace, which right now is run and gun. The Warriors backcourt is starting to really get in a groove. Thompson is averaging 20.1 points in the last 7 and Curry has 4 straight double doubles (averaging 21.4 points in the last 5). The Warriors are also in the bottom 5 of turnovers which should lead to some fast break opportunities for the Nets. Don't think Lopez will be back for this game but his replacement (Blatche) has been a really nice fill-in, averaging 17.7 points and 9.3 in his absence. Evans should be back though. His hustle alone should lead to a handful of 2nd chance points for Brooklyn. I see the final score being in the 105-98 range.

Looks like I'm going 0-1 tonight. Sigh. Phoenix looks like the team that is on a 2nd of a b2b. They look tired, no one wants to inbound the ball, and they don't have any players that can create their own shot. If I was a fan at the game, I would definitely be taking advantage of that money back guarantee deal...
Got one more for tonight:
Magic/Kings over 194
Both of these teams are going to crack 100 tonight. Although Orlando couldn't buy a 3 ball to save their lives the other night in Utah (missed 14 of 15), I do not expect that to continue against Sacramento. Sac does just not have any perimeter defenders to guard Nelson, Redick and Afflalo. For the Kings, they will attack the paint with all their one-on-one players. They will get most of their points with layups and at the stripe. Tyreke is starting to get comfortable since returning to action as well. The trends for both teams, individually and head to head, also point to the over. Gonna be lots of points in this one. 115-107.

Way off on this one lol. Only way bet has a chance if it goes to OT. Even then I still think it might stay under. Looking over tomorrow's games now...
