NBA Wednesday

0-1 last selection YTD 80-47-2 +51.62 units

I'm inclined to take Atlanta against Cleveland, but bit opposed to giving any points and not really into paying the ML price so passing this game.

Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors
Normally I would take the customary points as Toronto does not seem to be in a position to lay this many points, but I do have issue with 76ers declining shooting percentage. Raps just coming off a rare defeat while out shooting their opponent due to highest rebounding allowed this season.
The glass will not come cheap at Air Canada Center tonight. Look for another double digit road loss for Sixers.

TORONTO -8.5 at +102 for 1 unit(W)

This one is still on the watch to improve list:
Orlando Magic at Los Angeles Clippers
Magic made a effort last night, but too little too late at Sacramento. No problem second of back to back is just a short hop to L.A. with plenty of time to prepare crushing of Clippers, or is it?
Line opened at Magic -3.5 only moving -0.5 with resistance at -4 (square books have -4.5)
Not quite over the public consensus 75% threshold. Magic riding 4 consecutive ATS losses, would of been 5 covering Cats game by the hook, 3 in a row SU losses as favorite. But what I like in this situation is Clippers coming off a SU loss, ATS cover and getting points in following home game. Precursor to a SU home team win.
This would of qualified if it went to +5, but resistance was strong. You know Clippers would not cover when they couldn't take the lead after cutting the deficit.

We'll let the games come to us.

1-0 +1.02 units
