Back to the hard court. Starting the season with a loss is not good. Hopefully we catch up today.
Sacramento Kings at Portland Trailblazers
Kings coming off a win against the contending Lakers at home, home dog of +3.5 winning straight up, is on second of back to back playing the Blazers at the Rose Garden. There is a lack behind Blazers backers after Pushing the last game against Philadelphia and Kings winning against the Lakers, but the consideration here should be the Total which flexed a bit downwards but is back up to 197.5 and I will take the Under.
Portland defense should improve tonight and Kings back to back will help the situation.
UNDER 197.5 for 1 unit(W)
Caught the Total in perfect spot!

NBA on Christmas
NBA has returned and without getting into how we got here let's move right into the state of these games. When I say this, I mean the shaky start Lakers will take in their Xmas opener hosting the very dangerous Chicago Bulls. This is a cohesive team expected to go the distance. The current Laker's, Kobe hurt, no Lomar, Pau in dismay, the game will more than likely be won by Chicago Bull @ Staples Center.
This is a Bookies nightmare line where it originally opened in Lakers favor only to have Kobe's wrist injury swing the odds back to Chicago's favor exposing the books to risk on both sides of this game.
Chicago Bulls -3.5 points(L)

Back on Track 2011
Let's hope the deal stays on course. This delay season start will be interesting. But upcoming games will have rematch of Mavs & Heat and Lakers & Bulls should be a high scoring affair. There will be many games to exploit. Hope to have you back checking on "NBA Plays & Selection" for another Fantastic season!

OKC Thunder at Dallas Mavercks WC Finals #5
I shut the NBA blog back in Jan. due to lack of time, but I do like the game. I enjoy games played on daily basis. It's how you read the changes and spot fundamental angles. This game is elimination game for the Thunder and they are coming off a gut wrenching OT loss at home. Yet this line has widen not tighten so I will go with OKC getting too many points!
OKC +6.5(W)

Detroit Pistons at Chicago Bulls
This is a losing team vs winning team match up, but the losing team, Pistons, have been playing very good ATS Basketball whereas the winning team, Bulls, have sandwiched two ATS losses between single win. Chicago's two most recent games against sub par teams at home giving up double digit points ATS? 12/31 and 1/01 Nets & Cavaliers both SU winners, both ATS losers. Chicago also visited Detroit 12/26, SU winner & ATS no cover loser, in a game that went into OT. Bulls are very suspect against weaker foes getting hefty points. There's a pattern right? The pattern is don't be short sighted. Last 10 game sampling goes against the big picture which is Detroit away 3-16 just above Cleveland in the East. The Bulls have dominated this match up for sometime and at home I expect the Bulls to take control.
CHICAGO BULLS -9.5(W)

New York Knicks at Phoenix Suns
Welcome to the new era for the valley of the Suns. Landscape has much changed in Phoenix 2011, but going back through the past match ups Suns never had much over the Knicks. That holds true this season as well with Knicks one of the top ATS team going against 5-10-1 home ATS Phoenix Suns. Take the points on the road team Knicks.
New York Knicks +2(W)

Golden State Warriors at Orlando Magic
Orlando sure does look magical with new found blood and looking forward to 2011. They've strung 5 straight wins covering all as favorites. Hell, they beat the Spurs and Celtics handily. What a turn around from 4 straight losses and 2 for 8 during that span. Orlando is a contender expected to make the playoffs and rolled the dice in moving pieces, everyone know about the move, it's been made too much at this point and Golden State is an after thought. Warriors at 13-20 is dismal 5-14 on the road. However, Warriors 10-8-1 against the spread away and 50% proposition against winning teams away whereas Magic only 35% against losing teams. Golden State has 3 ATS losses in last 10 games only 1 loss was by more than one possession. Combined with Magics win margin dropping with every game since the start of this streak on Dec. 23 with 20 point ATS win against the Spurs to New York Knicks 1.5 point ATS squeaker on their last game 12/30 this one very much looks ripe for a ATS NO COVER at home for Orlando.
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS +10.5 at -110 for 1 unit(L)
