FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 29, 2009

Greetings. We were very bad last night-our first losing night in quite some time- with a terrible 3-4 record. We did nail our Lock, but our overall season ATS record now stands at 109-92-5. For Locks, we are 4-2-1. On with tonight’s picks:

 

LOCKS:

Knicks @ Pistons -4.5: Only one Lock tonight and this is it. The Pistons are finally getting their stars healthy, but they are in a terrible funk. It will take some time for them to get back to the standards they are used to. That said, we love them tonight. Consider that the home team in this match-up is 17-8 ATS in their last 25 meetings. We love the healthy Pistons. Take the Pistons and give the points.

PICKS

Thunder @ Wizards +1: For the first time this season the Thunder have won 3 straight games. They go for their 4th tonight and we love their chances. They are hot right now and Kevin Durant is playing as well as anyone. Take the Thunder and give the point.

 

Cavs @ Hawks -2: We love that the Hawks are favored in this. We think they are a much better team. They play well together and they can run with anyone. They have too many weapons. Look for a terrible game from Shaq tonight. Take the Hawks and give the points.

 

Pacers @ Bulls -7: This line is pretty comical given how bad the Bulls are and their coaching woes. Still, they should rally around their coach and play with some intensity at home, but don’t be surprised if the pacers win outright. This is too many points to pass up. Take the Pacers and the points

 

Timberwolves @ Spurs -11: The T’Wolves are on a decent spell as of late while the Spurs have been consistently inconsistent. On paper the Spurs dominate this match-up, but the Spurs are only 2-12 ATS in their last 14 against the NBA Northwest and they are very bad as double digit favorites. Take the T’Wolves and the points.

 

Hornets @ Rockets -6: We are very curious as to how the Rockets are going to respond to the TMac drama. The Hornets are iffy at best, but we love the points. Plus, the Hornets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games in Houston. We like CP3 in this one. He will get them the cover. Take the Hornets and the points.

 

Warriors @ Lakers -11.5: The Lakers seem to be in one of their ruts, but they are at home facing a Warriors team that is still injured and just not as good. This is the perfect rebound game for the Lakers. Even without Artest, the Lakers should dominate this game. Take the Lakers and give the points.

 

Seven more games. Good luck.

FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 28, 2009

Greetings. We are closing the 2009 portion of the season in winning style. Our season ATS record stands at 106-88-5. Of that, our locks are 3-2-1. We know it is not where we need to be, but we are winning each night. 7 Games on the docket tonight. This is what we like:

 

LOCKS

Thunder @ Nets +6: The Nets are making a habit of getting blown out this year. Of their 28 losses, only 9 have been by fewer than 10 points. They are a joke of a team right now. The Thunder will win their third straight. Take the Thunder and give the points.

 

PICKS

Bucks @ Bobcats -4.5: Bobcats are a completely different team at home (24-11 ATS in their last 35 home games) and they love Monday night games (9-2 ATS in their last 11). However, we still aren’t buying that they are a good team. Brandon Jennings has come down to reality as of late, but we like them to cover. They match-up well with the Bobcats. Take the Bucks and the points.

 

Wizards @ Grizzlies -5.5: We love the Wizards’ D in this game. We think they match-up well against the Grizzlies. Don’t be surprised in Washington wins outright. Take the Wizards and the points.

 

Lakers @ Suns +1: The Lakers have dominated this match-up as of late and look to build some momentum after their overtime win against the Kings. The Lakers are exactly what the Suns hate-a large and athletic team that plays well together. That is the recipe for beating the Suns. The Suns are off one of their worse performances of the season last time out. Even without Artest, the Lakers will still get the best of them. Take the Lakers and give the point.

Nuggets @ Kings +2: The Nuggets have been terrible since Chauncey Billups injured his groin. However, the Kings will probably be without Tyreke Evans and Sean May tonight. Those are bigger losses. Take the Nuggets and give the points.

 

76ers @ Trail Blazers -6: The 76ers have dominated this match-up as of late and they should get Iverson back tonight. The Blazers have been hot-covering in their last 4 games. We don’t think it will be 5 straight tonight. Take the 76ers and the points.

Celtics @ Warriors +6: The Celtics are one of the best road teams in the league, but they have not done well when visiting the Warriors. Still, they play outstanding D. The Warriors are hot off their pounding of a Suns team that played no D whatsoever. Tonight will be different. They will get all the D they can handle tonight. Take the Celtics and give the points.

 

Road team sweep for us tonight. That hasn’t happened before, but we are sticking with our system.

 

Good Luck,

FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 16, 2009

Greetings folks. We are loving this NBA season and we are coming at you with new angles with which you can make some scratch. Between early NFL action this week, the NCAA Bowl Season and NBA every night, we’ve been crunching numbers like mad!!! For the NBA, our overall season ATS record stands at 93-80-4. Of that, we are 3-1 ATS in our locks. If you’ve followed our site, you know that typically we have stayed away from giving “locks.” This is because we are confident with every game we pick/make public. Simply put, if it doesn’t pass our tests, we don’t pick it. That said, through our numbers crunching, we’ve noticed things that seem to come true even more than our typical picks. These are our “locks,” but note that they don’t pop-up too much so there may be nights where none exist. Tonight, we have two!!!!! Here is what we like:

LOCKS OF THE NIGHT

Lakers @ Bucks +5.5: The Lakers are the lock. Press this like crazy. Take the Lakers and give the points.

 

Wizards @ Kings -3: The Wizards are the lock. Go crazy. Take the Wizards and the points.

 

PICKS

Cavs @ 76ers +6: Take the Cavs and give the points.

 

Raptors @ Magic -11: Take the Magic and give the points.

Bobcats @ Pacers -3.5: Take the Bobcats and the points.

Grizzlies @ Hawks -9.5: Take the Grizzlies and the points.

Jazz @ Nets +8.5: Take the Nets and the points.

Mavs @ Thunder +2.5: Take the Thunder and the points.

Pistons @ Hornets -4.5: Take the Hornets and give the points.

Clippers @ T’Wolves -1.5: Take the Clippers and the points.

Rockets @ Nuggets -8.5: Take the Nuggets and give the points.

Spurs @ Warriors +5.5: Take the Warriors and the points.

There you go-12 winners for tonight!!!!

Good luck,

FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 8, 2009

Greetings folks. We had probably our worse night of the season last night going 1-3. It brings our season ATS record to 82-70-3. You don;t have to tell us-we know that is terrible. In efforts to get back on the winning side, we are conjuring up some of our old friends to help us out:

 

Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron Are Back After An Extended Vacation...We Are Sorry Basketball Handciapping Gods. We Won't Let It Happen Again.

Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron Are Back After An Extended Vacation...We Are Sorry Basketball Handciapping Gods. We Won't Let It Happen Again.

 

And on with the picks:

 

Timberwolves @ Raptors -7.5: The T’Wolves are finally healthy and getting big contributions from their studs. Kevin Love has showed the promise of his first round pick status, and they are hot (on 4 straight covers). They travel north to face a Raptors team that is absolutely terrible on D, but has covered and won their last two times out. The Raptors have yet to win 3 straight games this year. They may break that streak tonight, but they won’t cover. Take the T’Wolves and the points.

 

Nuggets @ Bobcats +3.5: Talk about a tale of two teams. These teams could not be more opposite right now. The Bobcats are just terrible right now while the Nuggets continue to pound teams. The Bobcats are off 3 straight no covers while the Nuggets have covered 4 straight. The line is pretty low and it leads us to believe that it is a trap. However, we are going to stick to our numbers. Take the Nuggets and give the points.

 

Bucks @ Celtics -12.5: This is another game of total opposites. The Celtics are one of the hottest teams in the league right now while the Bucks are one of the coldest. That said, the Bucks have owned this match-up as of late (7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings) and they are a better (surprisingly) rebounding team. The Celtics have not been good giving double digit points. That said, we are rollin’ with them. They are rested and focused. Take the Celtics and give the points.

 

Kings @ Hornets -8.5: This is the most intriguing line of the night. These teams are almost identical in nearly all facets of the game, but the Hornets are laying a high number. The Kings are 8-0 ATS in the last 8 head-to-head meetings. Also, over 65% of the money is on the Kings and this line has gone up! It screams trap! We are not falling for it. We love it that CP3 is back for the Hornets. Take the Hornets and give the points.

 

Cavs @ Grizzlies +8: The Cavs are just steam rolling teams right now. They have found their groove and it is showing in the wins and covers column. We love how they match-up with Memphis tonight. They are rested. Take the Cavs and give the points.

 

Shaq Fu Panda Is Undefeated!!!!!

Shaq Fu Panda Is Undefeated!!!!!

 

Nets @ Bulls -6.5: Both teams are terrible. The Nets finally got their first win of the season last week at home against the Bobcats. They look for their first road win tonight in the Windy City. They won’t get it. This game should be a beatdown. The Bulls will roll. Take the Bulls and give the points.

 

Suns @ Mavericks -4.5: We despise both teams and think they are both extremely soft. When in doubt between two soft teams, take the points. Take the Suns and the points.

 

Magic @ Clippers +7: The Clippers are not good, but they are at their best at home. That said, it won’t be enough. The Magic just stack-up too well against them. Take the Magic and give the points.

 

As always, good luck.

Greetings folks. Sorry for the delayed and quick post. We had another winning week last week and our season ATS record stands at 81-67-3. Respectable and certainly as good as any so called “professionals,” but we know we are better than that and we know we will keep staying in the black. That said, here is what we like tonight:

 

Nuggets @ Sixers +7: The Answer returns to the place where it all began as AI suits up his familiar Philly #3 for tonight’s game against his former team. This game will be fun to watch simply because of the crowd response. The crowd should be insane tonight! Plus, AI is still capable of lighting up a team for 30 points, although he is not as good as he used to be. The Nuggets dominate this match-up on paper and the road team in this series is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Philly has lost 9 straight, but we don’t care. Our numbers say take Philly and the points. Take Philly and the points.

 

Trailblazers @ Knicks +3.5: The Blazers limp (literally) into the Garden to face a Knicks team that is playing their best basketball of the season. The Blazers have lost Oden yet again for the season due to a knee problem. No doubt his presence will be missed. Also, the Blazers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 trips to the Garden and they are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games. That said, the Blazers dominate this match-up and we like how they stack-up against the Knicks. Take the Blazers and give the points.

 

Warriors @ Thunder -7.5: This is a ton of points to give, but we know why-the Thunder are good and well on their way to being a legit playoff team. The Warriors are still banged up, but they are getting more and more healthy each day. We love the energy that they bring to the table. We think the Thunder will win, but it will be closer than 7 points. Kevin Durant will have a huge game. So will Monta Ellis. Take the Warriors and the points.

 

Spurs @ Jazz -1.5: The final game tonight pits the Spurs against and fast Jazz team. We love the Jazz in this one primarily because of their athleticism, but also because of the recent play of Carlos Boozer. He has been great on both sides of the ball and he is good enough to keep Tim Duncan in check. We love Deron Williams against Tony Parker, too. Also, consider that the favorite in this series is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings. Take the Jazz and give the points.

 

As always, good luck with your picks.

FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 4, 2009

Greetings folks. We were back on the winning side with a 2-1 night. Feels good to win, but we know we blew it on the Heat-Nuggets game. That is how it goes sometimes, and we know we will keep it rollin’. There are 10 games on the docket tonight and we love it! Be sure to check out our posts for this weekend’s NFL and NCAA Football slates. There is a ton of action this weekend and it all starts tonight! On with the picks:

 

Raptors @ Wizards -3.5: The Raptors can’t buy a win or cover (0-5 ATS in their last 5 games). The Wizards seem to be geling and coming together as a team. That said, we like the Raptors tonight. They match-up well with the Wizards. Early in the week, we used that same logic to successfully predict Washington’s cover in Toronto. We are using it again here, but our calculations like the Raptors. Take the Raptors and the points.

 

Knicks @ Hawks -11: The Knicks have been cover demons as of late and have burned us pretty good. They are 28-13-1 ATS in their last 42 road games. It also helps them that the road team in this series is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings. That said, we love the Hawks in this one. They are more athletic than the Knicks and they play better D. We think the Knicks will have an off shooting night. Take the Hawks and give the points.

 

Celtics @ Thunder +4.5: The Thunder are quickly becoming our favorite team. We love Kevin Durant, too. This team is a lot of fun to watch. Jeff Green is one of the most underrated players in the league. We love their energy and it is just a matter of time before Durant wins his first MVP. That said, the Celtics are a different animal. They are on fire right now and taking care of business. When that team is on, only the Lakers can rivaly them. The Thunder will be without Nenad Kristic. That will be a huge loss. Take the Celtics and give the points.

 

Timberwolves @ Hornets -9: The T’Wolves seem to have found their groove while the Hornets have struggled under their new coach and without CP3. Speaking of CP3, he was upgraded tonight to questionable. He would be a ridiculous lift for the Hornets. That said, even without him, we like the Hornets at home. They are 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings with the T’Wolves. Take the Hornets and give the points.

 

Bobcats @ Nets +4: The Nets are offically the worse team in NBA history. They are a joke of a franchise and Jay Z must be trying to expedite their move to Brooklyn. If this keeps up, the Jersey fans will probably volunteer to move them themselves. The Bobcats have hit some snags as of late, but their D is just way too good for the Nets. They are disciplined and play well together. They will cut the Nets apart. Take the Bobcats and give the points.

Mavericks @ Grizzlies +6.5: The Mavs own this series as of late (17-7-1 ATS in the last 25 meetings overall and 9-3 ATS in the last 12 games in Memphis). Memphis is finally home after a daunting 5 game trip where they 1-4 ATS. That said, the Mavs are soft and have a tendency to take games off after going on a string of solid wins. The Grizzlies are young and can out hussle the Mavs. Take the Grizzlies and the points.

Bucks @ Pistons -2.5: The Bucks have struggled as of late against Detroit (3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings), and the favorite is 7-3 ATS in their last meetings. The Pistons are still without their playmakers and they were dominated in Chicago earlier in the week. The loss to Chicago was no fluke. The Pistons are just not that good right now. We are on the Brandon Jennings bandwaggon right now. We think he has a big night. Bogut should be strong in the paint. Take the Bucks and the points

 

Bulls @ Cavs -13: This is a ton of points to give, but we know there is a reason why this line is so high. The Bulls are just not that good and they will still be without Kirk Hinrich. The Cavs are back to dominating teams again and they are rested. They will roll over the Bulls tonight at home. The Bulls are terrible on the road (2-8 SU), but one of their two wins came against the Cavs. However, this is a different Cavs team. They will get payback tonight. Take the Cavs and give the points.

 

Pacers @ Jazz -8: Until the Pacers show us they can closeout a team, we are not backing them. The Jazz are playing really well right now, too. The Pacers are in the midst of a long road trip. We love the Jazz here. Take the Jazz and give the points.

 

Heat @ Lakers -12.5: The Heat were crushed last night in Denver. It doesn’t get any easier for them tonight as they face maybe the best team in the league. The Lakers are rested and we don;t care if Artest boozes on the bench. It won’t matter. It scares us some that the Lakers have a tendency to blow big spreads, but we think kobe will be focused to face DWade. There won’t be a let-up. Take the Lakers and give the points.

 

As always, good luck with your picks.

Greetings folks. Another tough night last night as went managed to kiss our sister with a 5-5 mark. Not losing, but certainly not where we want to be. With the 5-5 night, our season ATS record stands at 74-62-2. There are only three games on tonight’s docket and we know we need to go 3-0 ATS. We like our chances. Here are the picks:

 

Celtics @ Spurs -1.5: Both teams are playing outstanding D right now. Manu is back for the Spurs. The Celtics are off a dominating win against a Bobcats team that went into that game as one of the hottest teams in the league. Ray Allen seemed to find his stroke again and their D was lights out. This should be a low scoring game. The Spurs love playing at home (7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games) and the Celtics have struggled to cover in their recent games overall (4-9 ATS in their last 13 games, but they have covered their last 3). That said, both teams are rested and healthy. We think the Celtics just bring more to the table right now. We love their D. Take the Celtics and the points.

 

Rockets @ Warriors +2.5: The walking wounded tour continues for the Warriors as they stay at home tonight to face a Rockets team that is fresh off a solid win against the Clippers last night. The Clippers battled all game, but poor shooting in the last few minutes really killed them. The Warriors are similar to the Clippers in that they have a tendency to play sloppy basketball and fall apart at the end. However, this Warriors team has responded very well to the injuries. They have taken an “us against the world” mentality and it shows. They are covering (7-3 ATS in their last 10 overall) and they play hard. Monta Ellis is a legit early MVP candidate. We like them tonight. Take the Warriors and the points.

Heat @ Nuggets -8.5: The Heat looked outstanding in their last game. Michael Beasley finally showed signs of the promise he has with 27 points and DWade was all over the court against a solid Trailblazers teams. Both teams are rested and healthy for tonight’s game, so it should be a lot of fun to watch. The Nuggets are still undefeated at home and own this match-up as of late (6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings). We think they will stay undefeated, but we think this is too many points to give tonight. Take the Heat and the points.

 

Looks like tonight is the night of the Dogs for us. As always, good luck with your picks.

Greetings folks. We had a tough start to December last night going 3-3. Not a losing record but still pretty terrible. There are plenty of games tonight to get us back on track. That said, this is what we like for tonight:

Ooops….almost forgot:

 

Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron in a Clash of Mini Titans!

Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron in a Clash of Mini Titans!

 

 

Raptors @ Hawks -9.5: The Hawks have had a few days off to sort out how in the world they lost to a Pistons team they should have destroyed. They looked terrible Sunday. They gave a similar performance a few days before against the Magic (lost by 17) where they were favorites. They responded to that beating pretty well and trounced the Sixers for a nice cover. We think they will respond in similar fashion tonight. The Raptors are a hard-luck team right now. They lost last night to a Wizards team they could have handled. They played hard, but they just did not have enough. Tonight will be worse as the Hawks are long, fast and athletic. We think the Hawks match-up very well with the Raptors. The Raptors will lose their 5th straight. Look for big games from Al Horford and Josh Smith for the Hawks. Take the Hawks and give the points.

 

Josh Smith is a Manchild!!!!!!

Josh Smith is a Manchild!!!!!!

 

 

Suns @ Cavs -7.5: The Suns killed us last night by stinking up the place and getting absolutely clobbered by a terrible Knicks team. They could not stop them at all. It won’t get any easier tonight as they roll into Cleveland to face Lebron, Shaq and a very rested Cavs team. The Suns are in the midst of a long road trip and they do not like playing on back-to-back nights (1-2 SU & ATS on the season). Their two losses in these situations were to the Magic and Lakers, teams similar in caliber to the Cavs, by any average of 20 points. Also, the favorite in this series is 9-0 ATS in their last 9 meetings. That said, we are taking the Suns. The Knicks loss revealed that the Knicks are better than we thought (they are still bad) and that the Suns play no D. Even with these problems, they are still a better at rebounding, points, shooting % and free throw %. Plus they have a better bench. We think the Cavs will win, but this is too many points to give. Take the Suns and the points.

Knicks @ Magic -12.5: Easy game to call. We are not buying the Knicks. We know they are better than we thought, but slightly better than terrible is not going to cut it against a rested Magic team at home. They played the Magic tough two games ago, but they were outscored by 12 in OT. There is a reason this line is so high. Take the Magic and give the points.

 

Bucks @ Wizards -3: The Wizards showed a lot of heart last night against the Raptors in Toronto. They look to continue that effort tonight at home against the Bucks. Andrew Bogut is back for the Bucks, but Michael Redd is still out. They just can’t seem to stay healthy at the same time.  The teams seem pretty even on paper. We think the key will be the energy of the Wizards and the momentum they created with last night’s win in  Toronto. They played together the entire game and it worked. They win and cover their second straight. Take the Wizards and give the points.

 

Mavs @ Nets +7.5: This line is ridiculously low given how bad the Nets are. That said, we smelled a trap and looked at the numbers on where the money is going. Guess what? It is a HUGE trap. Over 76% of the money is on the Mavs, but this line has dropped. Don’t take the bait!! Ignore the fact that the Mavs are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 meetings with the Nets. It won’t matter. The Mavs are soft and will be looking past this game. The Nets will probably win this outright. Take the Nets and the points.

 

Congrats, Dumbass!! You Just Danced Your Way Into Giving the Nets Their First Win Of the Season!!!!

Congrats, Dumbass!! You Just Danced Your Way Into Giving the Nets Their First Win Of the Season!!!!

 

 

Pistons @ Bulls -7: The Bulls finally return home from their daunting, annual Circus Road Trip. They need a rest, too. On the trip they were 0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS. They need a win bad. They will probably get it, but we think the Pistons will cover. The reason is injuries. The Pistons will be without Ben Gordon, Tayshaun Prince, Rip Hamilton and Charlie Villanueva. Those 4 are starters and a HUGE losses for any team. The Bulls, we think, are in a surprisingly worse position. Their key injury is to one plaer-Kirk Hinrich. The Bulls are clearly better on paper than the Pistons right now, but losing Hinrich is a loss the Bulls have not had time to adjust to yet. The Pistons have had time and they have adjusted well. Even with their injuries, they are a still better defensively and scoring. Take the Pistons and the points.

 

Grizzlies @ Timberwolves +3.5: Pretty easy game to call. Also probably pretty easy to say that this will be the least most watched game outside of Minnesota and Memphis. The Grizzlies hate the road and they are in the midst of a pretty grueling road trip (3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games). However, they should have Rudy Gay back tonight. Even without him, they are just a much better team than the T’Wolves. Take the Grizzlies and give the points.

 

76ers @ Thunder -6.5: We can’t be happier that AI is heading back to Philly!! We loved watching him play in Philly and we were pissed when he was traded. He is the face of this franchise now and this is where he belongs. He won’t be in action tonight, and it probably wouldn’t matter if he was. The Sixers are hurting for a win. We think they will probably get it tonight in Oklahoma City. We love the points. Take the Sixers and the points.

 

AI's Back!! Literally.

AI's Back!! Literally!

Pacers @ Kings -1.5: The Pacers are such an enigma this year. They have talent and just when they look like they are putting it together, they forget how to close games. Until they figure it out, we are going against them. We don’t care that the Dog in this series is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings. The Kings are a better rebounding, scoring and bench team. We love Tyreke Evans to have a huge night. Take the Kings and give the points.
Rockets @ Clippers +2: We love this line. We love the Rockets as the favorite. The Rockets are better in nearly every facet of the game and they play better as a team. Take the Rockets and give the points.
There you go. As always, good luck with your picks.

Greetings folks. 3-1 last night brings our season ATS record to 66-54-2. We are making people straight cash money and we hope you are taking advantage of our picks. Our goal is to make you as much money as possible to bring down Vegas, your bookies an any websites you may frequent. The best part is our picks are totally free with absolutely no strings attached. Just read, enjoy and make your money!!

First things first:

Guess Who's Back....Back Again...Lil Kobe & Lil Lebron Are Back...Tel A Friend. Don't Forget To Mention The Winning Picks!!!!

Here is what we like tonight:
Wizards @ Raptors -6.5: The Raptors are hoping that a little home cookin’ will end their recent slump. They have not covered in their last 3 and they have lost 4 of their last 5 (not covering in any of the losses). Our system and calculations tell us to jump on the Raptors here, especially since they are home and healthy. However, despite the Wizards inconsistent play this year, they are a better defensive and rebounding team than the Raptors. They are rested, too. We like that combo on the road. We like Gilbert Arenas matched up against the Raptors guards and we think Antawn Jamison can contain Chris Bosh. The key for the raptors will be if Hedo Turkoglu gets hot. If he does, it will be a long night for the Raptors. However, we think Caron Butler can keep him in check (somewhat). We think the Raptors will win, but this is too many points. Take the Wizards and the points.
Is It Us, Or Does Chris Bosh Look Like The Predator?!?!?

Is It Us, Or Does Chris Bosh Look Like The Predator?!?!? The Resemblance Is Striking!!!

Celtics @ Bobcats +4: Man, the Bobcats are getting no love from Vegas!!! They are on fire right now and they are playing possibly the best team of any in the NBA. The Celtics have been winning, too. Both teams come into this game winning 4 straight (Celtics are 2-2 ATS in those games, while the Bobcats are 4-0 ATS). This is a very tough game to call. We love the Bobcats D and energy, but this is the Celtics. The Celtics can play D with the best of them and they can score on pretty much any team in the league. The key to this game will be free throws. With that, the Celtics have the advantage. We like the Celtics to make it 5 straight wins and 3 straight covers. Take the Celtics and give the points.

Suns @ Knicks +7.5: This line is pretty low considering how bad the Knicks are and how good the Suns have been all season. We think it is a product of the Suns travelling and coach D’Antoni knowing his old team and players. That said, we don’t think neither will matter much for this game. The Knicks are terrible. Just terrible. Their close games against the Celtics, Magic and Nuggets were flukes. Steve Nash is playing like his old MVP self and the Knicks’ Duhon/Hughes two-headed monster will have no answer. The Suns have covered 4 straight and they done it in blowout fashion. It will continue tonight. Take the Suns and give the points.
Yeap. Nuff Said.

Yeap. Nuff Said.

Warriors @ Nuggets -14: The Warriors are playing out of their minds right now. It is unreal how they have circled the wagons and played this well with so many injuries. They are by far the team with the most heart this year. Monta Ellis is playing like a man possessed, and he doesn’t show any signs of wearing down. The Warriors have been out-manned and outgunned in nearly every game this year, but they are finding ways to pull through with wins and covers. That said, last night’s win was a little deceptive. They were getting handled by the Pacers until the end of the third quarter. The Pacers have shown a history all year of giving up in games and losing focus. They don’t have the grit it takes to close a team out. The Nuggets do. Despite their recent collapse against a terrible Timberwolves team, the Nuggets know how to win games and close a team out. That doesn’t necessarily translate into covering the spread, but it says a lot when predicting games. 14 points is a TON to give, but we like it. The reason is that the win last night for the Warriors was exhausting. Having to travel that night to get to Denver to play a rested Nuggets team would be tough for any team. It is magnified even more when the travelling team is decimated by injuries. We think tonight’s game will start in a similar fashion to last night’s-the Warriors will be done in a hurry. Unlike last night, though, the Nuggets will not let them back in. The loss to the Timberwolves was a wake-up call. Look for very improved D from the Nuggets. Take the Nuggets and give the points.

Heat @ Trailblazers -7: The Heat have been fortunate this year in that they haven’t had to venture too far from South Beach to play. That all changes tonight as the head to the great Northwest to face a young and hungry Trailblazers team. The Blazers have been in a mini rut (lost their last two games), but they have a HUGE home field advantage. We don’t care that the road team in this series is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. We think the Blazers roll. Take the Blazers and give the points.

Hornets @ Lakers -14.5: This is a TON of points to give to a decent (although undermanned) Hornets team. However, this is the Lakers and they are crushing teams right now. That said, the Lakers have a tendency to play down to opponents at times. Typically they rip off a bunch of games where they crush teams and then settle on cruise control and maybe lose a game they should win. They beat the Hornets earlier in the year by 16 at home, and that was a team with Chris Paul running point. CP3 won;t be there tonight and there is a good chance neither will Peja Stojakovic. That doesn’t bode well for the Hornets. We do not like these points, but our numbers say take the Lakers. Take the Lakers and give the points.

FREE NBA PICKS FOR NOVEMBER 30, 2009

Greetings folks! Back again for another great night of NBA action. We hope Thanksgiving weekend was as good to you as it was us. We had great food. Great family time. We topped it off with solid days all around on NCAA football, NFL and NBA. Our season ATS record for NBA stands at 63-53-2. We are rollin’ and hopefully making you money. Still plenty of room for improvement though-10 games over .500 is not where we need to be. That said, this is what we like on tonight’s NBA games:

Ooops….almost forgot about our little friends:

Lil Kobe & Lil Lebron Are Back!!!

Bulls @ Bucks -2.5 : This is our favorite pick of the night. We love the Bulls here. Their annual Circus Road Trip is killing them, but this is essentially a home game for them and they are rested. We like them to come out furious and win outright. We love how they match-up with the Bucks. No Andrew Bogut is a big deal for Milwaukee. Take the Bulls and the points.

Stick This In Your Pipe & Smoke It, Bucks! The Bulls Are Coming Into Town!!!

76ers @ Mavs -11: We have been all over calling out the softness of the Mavs all year. They cannot hang with tough teams. They get a Sixers team tonight that is slowly getting more and more healthy as Elton Brand is expected back. That said, Brand really has not made that much of a difference when he is there. Even with him, the Sixers are still inconsistent. However, the Mavs have been inconsistent, too (ATS wise) and they are soft. We like the energy the Sixers will bring tonight. Take the Sixers and the points.

C'mon, Jessica!! We Need You To Jinx The Mavs Again Tonight!!!!

Grizzlies @ Jazz -10: Easy game here. We love how the Jazz are playing right now. They are hot and Memphis has not played well against them in recent meetings. Take the Jazz and give the points.
Pacers @ Warriors -2.5: Both teams are similarily inconsistent and dealing with significant injuries. However, the Pacers are a little better and slightly more rested. The Warriors may win, but we love the points. Take the Pacers and the points.
As always, good luck with your picks.
