Game: Los Angeles Clippers at Miami (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 195 -110
There will be plenty of firepower on the court for this one, especially if the reports that Chris Paul will be back in the lineup for the Clippers. I don't think that type of game will materialize here. The Clippers have been very assertive on the defensive end when playing the elite on the road. They held Denver to 92, Memphis to 73, Chicago to 89, Brooklyn to 86, and San Antonio to 87. The list is equally long for the Heat when facing quality opponents at home, holding Chicago, Oklahoma City, Utah, Golden State, Atlanta, and Brooklyn to under the century mark. The fact is that the Heat are 4-0 to the UNDER in the last four games vs. greater than .600 teams. Take the UNDER in this one.
NBA Basketball Play of the Day February 08, 2013 7:34 AM by GT Staff
Brooklyn Nets -1 at Washington Wizards
Could be a classic look ahead for the visiting Nets, who host San Antonio in two days. The Wiz are 13-3 against the spread in the last 16 and on a two-game win streak with John Wall now healthy.
Chicago at Utah (Fri): The Bulls have resembled a M*A*S*H unit over the past week or so with several key players nursing injuries, including Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer sidelined at the start of the week. That is in addition to the season long absence of Derrick Rose. Still the Bulls start the week seeded third in the East. Utah is having a typical Jazz season with an outstanding home record (17-5) and a poor road record (9-17).
Here they catch Chicago off a game a night earlier in Denver. It’s traditionally been a tough back to back situation playing in these two venues. This is a favorable situation for the hosts made even more favorable with the potential for the Bulls to be shorthanded. UTAH.
We are going to take a Pass today in College Basketball and get ready for the more options that await us on Saturday. There is no need to force a play today. We have some work to do but I'm confident as we continue February we will put together a new Surge in profits. thanks.
Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball
5-Unit Play. #804. Take Washington -1 over Brooklyn (Friday @ 7pm est).
3-Unit Play. #816. Take Memphis -3.5 over Golden State (Friday @ 8pm est).
This is a game in which Washington will get up for. They lost in extra time to Brooklyn earlier this year at home 113-115 and it was a game in which Washington was a 6 point underdog. With Brooklyn coming off a nice win against Detroit on the road, a game in which the Pistons were favored, it was a game in which the Pistons were expected to win and hence they were favored. Although the Nets were able to procure a win on the road in that game, I don't see it necessarily happening in this game. The Wizards don't look like they are having any type of let downs anytime soon as they lost by 10 points to the Spurs and covered that game, then defeated the Clippers at home by 8 as a 3 point underdog and most recently beat the Knicks by a 10 point margin as a 4.5 point underdog. This is a team that you would have thought would have a let down after the Clipper game but did not. I like the Wizards here with the revenge and with the fact the Nets have the Spurs on the horizon in their next game and are probably looking ahead. The Grizzlies have struggled without Rudy Gay and they have found it tough sledding on the offensive end in particular. But, they have always found comfort in playing the Warriors who they have beat the last 8 times straight up they have played them. The Warriors come off two very difficult losses on the road getting blown out both by the Thunder and were just sent packing by the Rockets losing to them by 30 points on the road. With Memphis being handed a fairly easy loss to the Hawks on the road, I look for them to bounce-back here against a familiar foe they are used to having success against. Sure, can the Warriors bounce-back, yes, but I still like Memphis to be able to put together a decent effort as they gel more with their starting lineup and in particular, as this starting lineup returns back home in front of a friendly Memphis crowd on a Friday Night.
