11/30 - Bucks (-7.5) @ Jazz
Despite a strong showing from rookie Tim Duncan, the Jazz have struggled as of late. The East-leading Bucks are just too much to handle for them, even at home. Bucks will win by more than 7.5.
12/2 - Grizzlies @ Bulls: Total 185 Over/Under
In their last matchup, the combined point total was 10 points short of this mark. Even though the better team is now at home, I can't see either team scoring much more than they did last time.
12/3 - Rockets @ Sonics (-5.0)
The Rockets are having a hard time figuring things out, but they're no less of a threat if you're not careful. I don't think they pick up the road win, but I do think they keep it close, under 5 points.
12/4 - Nuggets @ Bucks: Pick em!
Dehere & Hawkins have filled in quite nicely for Miller, and if they were at home, I'd pick them. They're not, so go Bucks.
12/9 - Mavericks @ Wizards: Total 205 Over/Under
Both teams have been in their fair share of shootouts recently. The Wiz will score because they're at home, and the Mavs will score because they're too good to stop. I'll go out on a limb and say that both teams exceed 100 in this Finals rematch.
12/11 - Clippers @ Lakers (-4.5)
The Clippers just don't have the roster to legitimately challenge the other LA squad at home. Lakers win by more than 4.5.
12/11 - Spurs @ Timberwolves: Total 195 Over/Under
If there's one thing the Spurs can do easily, it's fill up the scoreboard. With Grant Hill MIA for this matchup, look for this game to get a bit out-of-hand as far as defense is concerned.

11/30 - Bucks (-7.5) @ Jazz
The Jazz are building a very formidable core of young guys on their team; however, their strengths at the 4 and the 1 match up with defense-oriented studs like Brian Grant and Terrell Brandon. Bucks win, and win by more than 7.5.
12/2 - Grizzlies @ Bulls: Total 185 Over/Under
The combined averages for both these teams in Points For is less than 175PPG. On top of that, I'm going to pick under solely for the purpose of the Grizzlies playing in this game.
12/3 - Rockets @ Sonics (-5.0)
Shaq has been a complete force this season, to the point you forget there's a team around him. Well, to be fair, even when you realize there's a team playing around him, they are still pretty forgettable. Sonics at home take this.
12/4 - Nuggets @ Bucks: Pick em!
Nuggets. David Robinson has a long documented history of making the Bucks his bitch. This one will be no different, even though the Bucks currently have a pristine home record.
12/9 - Mavericks @ Wizards: Total 205 Over/Under
Under. Dallas is allowing the the 5th fewest PPG to opposing teams. I forsee a blow out win for the Mavericks, but not enough to make it over 205.
12/11 - Clippers @ Lakers (-4.5)
Lake Show step it up after a tough(er) start to the season than initially expected. Look for them to shut down Spreewell and win by double digits. Lakers
12/11 - Spurs @ Timberwolves: Total 195 Over/Under
Over, just looking at the Spurs team as a whole, it's amazing how much talent they have on the offensive side of the ball. Not to mention, despite the injuries to Hill and Houston, Jordan, Pack, and Webber will get theirs. Over

11/30 - Bucks (-7.5) @ Jazz
Jazz are better at home obviously, but they've lost some double-digit games to good teams in Utah, so I'm going with the Bucks.
12/2 - Grizzlies @ Bulls: Total 185 Over/Under - Both teams are struggling offensively, but also both teams allow alot of points. I think I will go with the OVER.
12/3 - Rockets @ Sonics (-5.0) - Rockets gameplan isn't suited to slow down the sonics 3-point shooting. Sonics cover easily.
12/4 - Nuggets @ Bucks: Pick em! - Going with the Bucks at home.
12/9 - Mavericks @ Wizards: Total 205 Over/Under - Mavs are tremendous offensively. Wizards are decent offensively. I see 205 easily reached.
12/11 - Clippers @ Lakers (-4.5) - Lakers tend to win home games pretty easily.
12/11 - Spurs @ Timberwolves: Total 195 Over/Under - Both teams average scoring and allowing well over 195. Have to go with the over.

11/30 - Bucks (-7.5) @ Jazz Bucks have too much fire power. Pic of Jazz below:  12/2 - Grizzlies @ Bulls: Total 185 Over/ UnderBorrrring  12/3 - Rockets @ Sonics (-5.0) Rockets sold their soul for cap space and potentially a good pick and ended up as a middling team with yet another overpaid guy. Sonics shut down everyone but shaq and show this game is a team game, unless you're OPenny (O is silent) or Kemp. 12/4 - Nuggets @ Bucks: Pick em! Doug's reverse curse be damned! Bucks get this one since Reggie's out. 12/9 - Mavericks @ Wizards: Total 205 Over/Under Over; mavs just skeeting all over everyone. 12/11 - Clippers @ Lakers (-4.5) What city do the Clippers play in again? 12/11 - Spurs @ Timberwolves: Total 195 Over/ UnderWould probably take the over if Grant Hill weren't vacationing to do NBA Inside Stuff.  |
