[LoCo89]

1/12 - Grizzlies @ Raptors: Total 170 Over/Under
Both teams average more than this, not to mention the Raptors have the 2nd worst points allowed D,                                                                                   possibly negating the Grizzlies worst scoring O a better chance at getting a high total. Taking the over
1/13 - Jazz @ Hornets: Total 175 Over/Under
Taking the under. Not a fan of this game
1/16 - Jazz @ Grizzlies: Total 10K Over/Under in Attendance.
Last game was at 9547, and neither team has improved.
1/17 - 76ers @ Pacers (-10.5)
Still reeling from the Peeler loss, taking the Pacers
1/19 - Blazers (+8.5) @ Lakers
Taking the Lakers at home. Mostly just because the home team has dominated this series thus far
1/22 - Wizards @ Pacers: Pick EM!
The Pacers make me uncomfortable.
1/23 - Timberwolves @ Lakers (+2.5)
Tired and sleep deprived...
1/25 - Warriors @ Kings (+5.5) MACOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!!

1/12 - Grizzlies @ Raptors: Total 170 Over/Under


Two bad teams. This one will be an ugly game. Taking the over as I expect both teams to score around 90 points.

1/13 - Jazz @ Hornets: Total 175 Over/Under


Taking the under. Two teams that play at an average pace with averages defenses. I can see both teams scoring below 90 here. 

1/16 - Jazz @ Grizzlies: Total 10K Over/Under in Attendance.


VanMemphis veraging 13k+ a game. Taking the Over on a friday night game.

1/17 - 76ers @ Pacers (-10.5)


76ers have only scored over 100 once since Peeler went down. Averaging 91 ppg. Meanwhile the Pacers are playing well.

Changed because of trade with kings. Wtf was that bullshit. Taking 76ers


1/19 - Blazers (+8.5) @ Lakers


Lakers at Home. I expect KG will be fully integrated into the team. Should be able to win at home by 9 points. 

1/22 - Wizards @ Pacers: Pick EM!


I'll take the Wizards in a more balanced attack. One off night from Augmon, and the Pacers have no offense. 

1/23 - Timberwolves @ Lakers (+2.5)


Second night of a Back to Back for the LA. Wolves will have 3 days off before this game. Give me the wolves who are playing some solid offensive basketball right now. Hope their defense shows up for this one.

1/25 - Warriors @ Kings (+5.5)

Warriors have won the past two meetings by a total of 67 points. I don't think being at home helps the Kings erase a 30 points loss.

1/12 - Grizzlies @ Raptors: Total 170 Over/Under

Bad defense will be the theme here.

1/13 - Jazz @ Hornets: Total 175 Over/Under

I think this will be a grind it out type game where both teams score in the 80's

1/16 - Jazz @ Grizzlies: Total 10K Over/Under in Attendance.

Just a guess.

1/17 - 76ers @ Pacers (-10.5)

Pacers are the better team here and they're at home.

1/19 - Blazers (+8.5) @ Lakers

New look Lakers with KG. Expect a big game from him.

1/22 - Wizards @ Pacers: Pick EM!

Wiz are playing fairly well and Pacers will have a hard time if Augmon is off.

1/23 - Timberwolves @ Lakers (+2.5)

T'wolves will be fully rested and prepared!

1/25 - Warriors @ Kings (+5.5)

The Kings are an up and coming team, but they aren't on Golden State's level yet.

Only one that hasn't done it is Bo. Anyone from the Atlantic wanna cover for him quick?

I got this, will update post when done.

UPDATE:

1/12 - Grizzlies @ Raptors: Total 170 Over/Under
Two bad defenses, sure. But who's gonna take advantage of it? For the Raptors it's Finley. For the Grizz it's.....?

1/13 - Jazz @ Hornets: Total 175 Over/Under
Duncan vs. Gugs will be fun to watch.

1/16 - Jazz @ Grizzlies: Total 10K Over/Under in Attendance.

1/17 - 76ers @ Pacers (-10.5)
With Stacey gone, who's gonna stop Glen Rice?

1/19 - Blazers (+8.5) @ Lakers
Lakers are in the midst of refocusing, but are still better off than the now Manning-less Blazers.

1/22 - Wizards @ Pacers: Pick EM!
Wiz Kids are still questionable on the road, but you'd have think that they take this one.

1/23 - Timberwolves @ Lakers (+2.5)
KJ feasts on a Pack-less Wolves backcourt.

1/25 - Warriors @ Kings (+5.5)
I'll take the home underdog as the Kings' new firepower matches up against the Warriors' new look.
