1/5 - Pacers @ Bucks (-7.5)- There is a trend, road underdogs are covering in 62% of games so far this season, hate to pick against the Bucks but gotta go with the trends, gimme the points. 1/8 - Rockets @ Mavs (-10.5)- Rockets have only lost on the road by double digits once this season. It's a little concerning the Mavs just beat the Rockets my double digits, but I think Houston uses this as motivation. Mavs win, but Rockets cover. 1/8 - Clippers (-5.5) @ Suns- The Suns are 3-14-1 against the spread at home, gimme Spree and the Clips even if they traded their starting bigs. 1/9 - Wizards @ Spurs (-6.5)- The Spurs have their GM back and Wizards struggle on the road, I'll take San Antonio. 1/9 - Heat (-13.5) @ Bulls - It's just too many points to give to a road team. 1/10 - Celtics (-8.5) @ T-Wolves- Emotional hedge and just take the Wolves 1/17 - Mavs @ Warriors (-2.5) - Mavs have done it once already, I'll take them and the points.

Games: 1/5 - Pacers @ Bucks (-7.5) - The Pacers were the feel good story of the league early in the season, but now they're the feel good story for their opponents lately. However, the Bucks have a brand new nucleus every two sims. I think the Bucks will win but the Pacers will cover.
1/8 - Rockets @ Mavs (-10.5) - The Mavs just went into Houston this past sim and bitch slapped the Rockets on their own home floor. Rockets have a top 5 defense while the Mavs have a top 5 offense. However, the Mavs defense is much superior to the Rockets offense. Shaq will get his, but unfortunately Ron Harper will try to as well. Mavs win this going away.
1/8 - Clippers (-5.5) @ Suns - The Clippers are trending downwards while the Suns won a game or two last sim. Suns will cover and may even win.
1/9 - Wizards @ Spurs (-6.5) - Wizards are coming off a great sim while the Spurs were rocked a bit. However, the Wizards struggle on the road. I think the Spurs figure it out and will cover. Would love to play with that roster as much as Ballsosalty strokes himself while thinking about a healthy roster every season.
1/9 - Heat (-13.5) @ Bulls - Too high here. Bulls are playing better. Should easily cover this spread.
1/10 - Celtics (-8.5) @ T-Wolves - TWolves are on the verge of going downhill. I know the GM. He told me so himself. They lost to the Rockets by 9 last sim at home. The Celtics haven't been as dominating on the road with the point differential. However, they do everything better than the Twolves except fail to live up to expectations.
1/17 - Mavs @ Warriors (-2.5) - Two excellent offenses face off in this heated rivalry. Mavs play more defense and if the Warriorefs don't get their 50 FTs each from Kemp and Ceballos, I like the Mavs to win outright.

1/5 - Pacers @ Bucks (-7.5).....Bucks have made a huge trade significantly altering their team, Indiana pounces on their new squad and take the win. PACERS 1/8 - Rockets @ Mavs (-10.5)....Dallas really gets hyped for these division rivals and Houston just lost by 11 in Dallas, no change here, Dallas wins again by 15. MAVS 1/8 - Clippers (-5.5) @ Suns....Two teams that are going to be near the bottom come seasons' end, ill take the Suns here with the win. SUNS 1/9 - Wizards @ Spurs (-6.5)....Wizards road woes continue against a team with more firepower overall. SPURS 1/9 - Heat (-13.5) @ Bulls......High point spread here, probably a trap but im going to go for it. Heat are much better overall and will take it by 20 on the road HEAT 1/10 - Celtics (-8.5) @ T-Wolves...Great matchup here and im going to take the Wolves at home. They'll lose by 5. WOLVES 1/17 - Mavs @ Warriors (-2.5)......Im high on the Mavs train this sim, they'll take the win outright over the defending champs MAVS
