NBA Wednesday

Looking to turn it around in 0-1 showing last selection. YTD 96-65-2 +50.98 units.
We are still deep in black, but the boys don't like losses.

Chicago Bulls at New Jersey Nets
Da Bulls screwed me the last time I backed them, but this is the new half and Nets look forward to next season with departing Kidd.

Bulls -3 at -109 for 2 units(L)

Los Angeles Lakers at Phoenix Suns
Lakers in a dog spot and has moved from +4.5 to +3.5, but I would go ML here in the valley of the Suns. Shaq is just a distraction at this point where Lakers are doing it already with Gasol.

Lakers ML +140 for 1 unit(W)

Orlando Magic at Toronto Raptors
Rewind and look up how these two teams have matched up. Toronto has strung 7 going back to '05 before Magic took the last one in early season. Magic did start hot before leveling off, but they did finish on a high note winning Denver at home then Detroit on the road and that Detroit win was a solid double digit outright as a road dog. Toronto has been alternating wins and losses, but at home they have dropped 3 out of last 4 and they are not fairing well against winning teams. I'd say their best recent game was at Boston 1/23, Milwaukee didn't put up much fight and Washington turnaround match at home was with Wiz completely depleted. Since than it's been all rude awakening up to beating the Nets at home in last game. I'll take a shot with Orlando outright going away.

Magic ML +167 for 1 unit(L)

1-2 -1.78 units
