WINNING POINTS

PRO BASKETBALL

*Charlotte over Atlanta by 1
First-year coach Steve Clifford has the Bobcats playing their best defense. Jeff Teague quietly is putting up some very good numbers for Atlanta, but the Hawks ranked last in defensive field goal percentage entering the second week of the season.
CHARLOTTE 97-96.

**PREFERRED
Memphis over *Indiana by 5
In a battle of the two best defensive teams with a low total, taking points is the way to go. Memphis is 6-3 ATS in its last nine road contests and has revenge for an 82-81
home loss to the Pacers last season.
MEMPHIS 86-81.

San Antonio over *Philadelphia by 7
The Spurs may have trouble covering if the number is too large playing for the second
day in a row, which could mean reduced minutes for Tim Duncan and Manu
Ginobili. Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes, Thaddeus Young and Michael Carter-
Williams were all off to fast starts for the 76ers.
SAN ANTONIO 96-89.

*Boston over Orlando by 1
The teams just met each other this past Friday. Both are heavy into rebuilding, but the
Magic has the better talent. The Celtics already have their home fans down on them
from blowing a 22-point lead during their home opener against Milwaukee, which
was missing its two point guards.
BOSTON 93-92.

*Chicago over Cleveland by 9
Cleveland has on-the-rise talent, but it can't be forgotten that Chicago had the best
record in the NBA during each of the last two seasons when Derrick Rose was healthy.
The Bulls had defeated the Cavaliers 11 consecutive times until losing in their last
meeting.
CHICAGO 97-88.

**PREFERRED
*Houston over Toronto by 18
Toronto is playing for the fifth time in seven days and third in four days. Raptors point
guard Kyle Lowery is playing with a protective splint over his finger on his shooting
hand and it's affecting his field goal percentage. Young center Jonas Valanciunas isn't
ready to handle Dwight Howard on the road. The Rockets have the firepower to blow
away any opponent at home.
HOUSTON 108-90.

Denver over *Utah by 1
The Nuggets have been slow to adjust to new coach Brian Shaw, who has slowed down their offense. Utah was 11-6-1 ATS in its last 18 games through this past Monday.
DENVER 95-94.

*Portland over Detroit by 8
Last season, the Pistons broke the 100-point barrier for the first time in 12 visits to
Rose Garden, but still lost to the Trail Blazers by 11 points. The Pistons are too reliant
on their $54 million man Josh Smith, who has a poor shooting percentage and commits
too many turnovers.
PORTLAND 104-96.

*Los Angeles Clippers over Minnesota by 5
The season has just begun, but it appears Doc Rivers has a worse defense than he
anticipated with the Clippers giving up 109 points per 100 possessions during their
first two games. The Timberwolves have a top 10 offense to hang close with a healthy
Kevin Love and newcomer Kevin Martin.
LA CLIPPERS 112-107.

Monday, November 11

UConn won its last three games vs Ivy League teams by 8-13-14 points, but none of those was against Yale from New Haven. Huskies were up 17 over Maryland, but a taunting technical on Napier sent Terps on 11-0 roll, and UConn had to hang on to win by point. Yale has 4 starters back from LY, beat Central Connecticut 93-77 in its opener.

Temple (-4.5) held off local rival Penn 78-73 in opener; they led by 15 with 9:01 left. Owls had 20 offensive rebounds, but only played 8 guys. Owls lost four starters from LY, when they beat Kent State 80-66- they shot 65.5% inside arc. Flashes have three starters back from 21-14 club that went 9-7 in MAC- they crushed a D-III team in their opener.

Oklahoma beat Alabama 82-73 in opener, after being down a point at the half; Sooners shot 50% inside arc, were +7 at foul line- they've got two starters back from LY's 20-12/11-7 team. North Texas has three starters back from LY's 12-20/7-13 disaster, when they shot 28.6% from the arc; Mean Green struggled to beat Northwood by 5 in their opener.

SMU (-10) beat TCU 69-61 in its opener, holding Frogs to 30% inside the arc (8-18 outside it); Mustangs lost 72-50 at URI LY, when Rams made 10-23 from arc, shot 54% inside it. SMU has all five starters back as it moves up to new AAC. Rhode Island was 33-49 from foul line in its opener, playing 10 guys 10+ minutes in a 97-77 win over Maine.

Rutgers has three starters back from 15-16/5-13 team as alum/former NBA coach Jordan takes over; Knights beat Florida A&M 92-84 in their opener, but only played two subs more than 8 minutes (46-41 at half). UAB has four starters back from 16-17/7-9 team that loss at Rutgers LY 88-79- it was 50-33 at half. Rutgers was 29-33 from foul line, shot 63% inside arc- they survived turning ball over 22 times.

Eustachy is terrific coach, but Colorado State lost all five starters from LY's 26-9 team that beat Missouri in first round NCAA game. Could be long night for Rams against Gonzaga, which lost three starters from LY's 32-3 team that went 16-0 in WCC, but is still picked #14 in country. Zags beat Bryant by 24 in opener, Rams beat some NAIA team by 29.

Arizona has terrific new PG in Duquesne transfer McConnell, who will make teammates better, unlike LY's PG. Wildcats beat Cal Poly by 16 in opener, missing 16-36 foul shots. Long Beach is in same league as Cal Poly but they're more athletic. 49ers overschedule; they lost at Arizona by 22 LY and also lost to USC-Carolina-Syracuse-Ohio State-UCLA. Didn't beat any of them, but it makes them tougher in Big West.

Stanford has three starters back from 19-15/9-9 team; they struggled to beat Bucknell by 4 in opner, playing bench total of 26 minutes, which is not much at all, especially in a season opener. BYU beat Weber State by 9 in opener, jumping out to 22-7 lead; Cougars have three starters back from LY, but they don't have any seniors on the roster- thats a problem.

Tennessee State got waxed by 30-15 points in first two games of its trip to Hawai'i, scoring 55 points in both games. Tigers have 4 starters back from LY, but brought in JC kids to bolster roster. Western Michigan is 1-1 after losing by 10 at Hawai'i, beating New Mexico State by 6; WM lost three starters from LY's 22-13/10-6 team.

Milwaukee lost 76-72 to Loyola (Horizon rival until this year), turning ball over 18 times (-7) in its opener; Panthers lost three starters from a 8-24/3-13 team that still beat Davidson 83-78 at home, holding them to 36% from floor. Wildcats are less experienced this year; they got waxed 111-77 at Duke in their opener- this is major step down in competiton.

Northern Arizona lost its leading returning scorer last week, but won its opener by 11 at UTSA anyway, solid win; Lumberjacks have couple of starters back from LY, but Murphy has brought in players to get more depth, so they're improved. Texas Tech got huge upgrade with Tubby Smith as coach- they beat Houston Baptist by 15 in its opener.
