12/28 - Hawks @ Suns: Total Over/Under 180
-Under- Suns come in off a hard fought win versus the Mavs. With tired legs, I suspect a lot of missed shots and thus the under.
12/30 - Hornets (+7.5) @ Pistons
- Pistons - Steve Smith will have his way against the Hornets. Pistons will pull away late to cover.
12/31 - Knicks @ Cavs: Total Over/Under 10,000 in attendance.
Over - Hometown fans are excited to see Eddie Jones, maybe?
1/1 - Bucks @ Nets (+3.5)
- Bucks - See last meeting. Nets players may still be having nightmares about it. I'll take the Bucks.
1/3 - Warriors @ Mavericks: Pick EM!
Warriors - Mavs have 3 key players out, including superstar Hardaway. Warriors win going away.
1/7 - Spurs @ Raptors: Total Over/Under 195
Under - Their combined points for is 190. Despite the anticipated poor defense, I think they stay just under 195.
1/9 - Magic (-8.5) @ Knicks - Magic - Knicks sport the worst record in the division and this game is the 2nd half of a back to back. I expect the Magic to handle them with ease.

12/28 - Hawks @ Suns: Total Over/Under 180
- Under. The home team plays a slow pace, and even though the Hawks are a top 10 offense, they'll be slowed down and grinding a battle out with the Suns.
12/30 - Hornets (+7.5) @ Pistons
- Something tells me Gugs is going to take over this game. They may win, they may lose a squeaker, but either way the Pistons don't cover.
12/31 - Knicks @ Cavs: Total Over/Under 10,000 in attendance.
- Yay, my attendance thing got noticed! The KG thing may make this drop off, but the lowest attendance this season was just below 10k, and maybe some fans will think the Knicks still have DRob.
1/1 - Bucks @ Nets (+3.5)
- Bucks will take care of business on the road. Nice line though.
1/3 - Warriors @ Mavericks: Pick EM!
- Usually have to go with the home team, but with their 6th man and superstar out, it's going to be tough to stop Kemp.
1/7 - Spurs @ Raptors: Total Over/Under 195
- Hunch. Somehow they're going to explode.
1/9 - Magic (-8.5) @ Knicks
- Two Knicks games in the Pick Em? EAST COAST BIAS. Magic win easily.

12/28 - Hawks @ Suns: Total Over/Under 180
The Suns are at home, so the Hawks' defense won't get the benefit of some of the calls they get at home and won't be as effective stopping the Suns as they might hope to be. But this is mostly about the "points allowed" per game for these two teams, which are 96.9 and 96.0 respectively - I don't think either team is able to totally bottle the other one up, which would have to happen to get the under.
12/30 - Hornets (+7.5) @ Pistons
I'm not feeling great about this one - half of the Hornets' away losses this year have been one-possession games... but the other half have been blowouts. Here's guessing the Pistons come in angry after a game in Dallas two nights earlier that figures to be a loss and get on the blowout side of the equation against the Hornets. Sorry, Nick.
12/31 - Knicks @ Cavs: Total Over/Under 10,000 in attendance.
You'd think there would be other things to do on New Year's Eve in Cleveland... but it's Cleveland. Attendance only dipped below 10,000 when the Nets came to town and I think the new additions to the Cavaliers of Jones, Campbell, and Foyle will still be new and shiny enough to bring the Cleveland citizenry out to the arean.
1/1 - Bucks @ Nets (+3.5)
The Bucks are rolling right now and the Nets have been inconsistent. Even on the road, I like the Bucks' chances to cover.
1/3 - Warriors @ Mavericks: Pick EM!
Just going to have to go with home court in this clash of Western Conference titans. Besides, if I get the pick wrong, I get the pleasure of a stream of profanity from Darth. Actually, come to think of it, if he wins, we'll probably ALSO get a stream of profanity from Darth, so...
1/7 - Spurs @ Raptors: Total Over/Under 195
This SHOULD be an over based on the Spurs' talent alone, but the Raptors traded away Davis, leaving them as the Toronto Finleys. Finley isn't going to be able to muster up enough points to hit the over.
1/9 - Magic (-8.5) @ Knicks
We just saw this game (Magic at Knicks) on 12/22 and the Magic won by 9 points. I think they do it again and just barely cover the spread.

12/28 - Hawks @ Suns: Total Over/Under 180
Neither team has an amazing defense. So I'm going with the over. Also, Suns win.
12/30 - Hornets (+7.5) @ Pistons
I know it's a pretty large spread, but I believe that the Pistons can cover it at home against a Hornets team that is bad on the road.
12/31 - Knicks @ Cavs: Total Over/Under 10,000 in attendance.
Over, Cavs have only had one game under 10,000 people in attendance. Cavs also get the win.
1/1 - Bucks @ Nets (+3.5)
Im taking the Nets. I don't think the Bucks can cover the spread. The Nets have been a solid team so far and the Bucks have not been a very good road team. Nets.
1/3 - Warriors @ Mavericks: Pick EM!
OPenny beats KemOP because he's at home.
1/7 - Spurs @ Raptors: Total Over/Under 195
I think it's close, but that the team's just don't have the scoring to hit the over. Spurs win though.
1/9 - Magic (-8.5) @ Knicks
I don't trust the Magic to cover the spread on the road. Magic win, but don't cover the spread.
