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.

FREE WINNING NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 1, 2009

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 and Lil Lebron Are Back...Tell A Friend. Don't Forget To Mention The Winning Picks!!!!

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.
Good Thing Big Baby Is Not Playing Tonight....If He Was, We Would Have Taken the Bobcats Soley Becuase of This Photo. Please Tell Us That His Teammates Are Giving Him Constant Grief For This!!!

Good Thing Big Baby Is Not Playing Tonight....If He Was, We Would Have Taken the Bobcats Solely Because of This Photo. Please Tell Us That His Teammates Are Giving Him Constant Grief For This!!!

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.
Witness The Rebirth of Cool!!!! Just Not Tonight In Denver.

Witness The Rebirth of Cool!!!! Just Not Tonight In Denver.

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.
Naz & Young Jeezy...Guaranteed Two People You Won't See Courtside in Portland Tonight.

Nas & Young Jeezy...Guaranteed Two People You Won't See Court side in Portland Tonight

 

 

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 25, 2009!!!

Greetings folks! 3-2-1 last night brings our season ATS record to 54-45-2. Again, we know this is not up to our standards, but with another winning night, we are moving in the right direction. There are a ton of games tonight, so we know we have a ton of opportunities for more winners. We are busy and we love it!! Check out our NCAA football and NFL posts for tomorrow’s and Friday’s games, too. We are working plays all weekend long!!! Sit back, eat some turkey and take our picks all the way to the bank!! We are looking to help you make some extra scratch for Black Friday shopping deals!! That said, here is the first step:

Oh yeah…forgot about Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron:

Lil Kobe & Lil Lebron Are Back For More Winners!!!!

Lil Kobe & Lil Lebron Are Back For More Winners!!!!

 

Clippers @ Pacers -5.5: The Pacers looked pretty darn bad last night in Toronto and are in the midst of a bad slump. They look to avoid their 5th straight SU loss and ATS loss. The bad thing is that in their losses, they have been pretty much blown out each time. Only in one of the 4 losses (against the Knicks) have they even kept it close. They are a team that looks very confused right now, and they are getting a Clippersteam that is rested and will probably have their young gun, Eric Gordon, back from injury. Even without Gordon, we like the Clippersto cover. We think the Pacers will win the game to end their losing streak, however, we think this is too many points to give. Take the Clippers and the points.

 

Holy Sh*t!!! We Picked The Clippers to Cover!!!!

Holy Sh*t!!! We Picked The Clippers to Cover!!!!

Raptors @ Bobcats -3: The Raptors have been terrible on the road this year and cannot stop anyone anywhere. They are off giving the Pacers a beatdown last night at home. They are terrible as Dogs this year (0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as Dogs), but we think they finally breakout of the Dog cover slump. Take the Raptors and the points.

 

No Early Christmas For You, Stephen Jackson!!!!

No Early Christmas For You, Stephen Jackson!!!!

76ers @ Celtics -13: The Celtics have been terrible as of late. This team is WAAAY better than this and they know it. After nearly losing to the Knicks last time out, the Celtics need to get back on track. They are rested and at home tonight against a 76ers team that is struggling, too.  The 76ers lost a tough one last night in Washington and they may be without Elton Brand tonight. That is bad news for them. We think the Celtics finally right the ship tonight. We don;t care that the road team in this one is 18-8-1 ATS in their last 27 meetings. Take the Celtics and give the points.

Heat @ Magic -9.5: The Heat have been absolutely terrible in their recent games, losing 4 of their last 6 SU and 6 straight ATS. They get no relief tonight against a Magic team that is playing well as of late. The Magic are rested and do everything better than the Heat except field goal %. This is an easy cover. Take the Magic and give the points.

 

Ridiculous!! Dwight Howard Looks Like He Is Playing on Stilts!! Good Luck, Miami!!!

Ridiculous!! Dwight Howard Looks Like He Is Playing on Stilts!! Good Luck, Miami!!!

Bucks @ Hornets -2.5: The Bucks finally have Michael Redd back, but they are still without Andrew Bogut. The Hornets are still without Chris Paul. However, the Hornets have covered their last 4. We don’t think they make it a 5th. The Bucks are better defensively and on the glass. They have Redd back. The Hornets will have no answer for him. Take the Bucks and the points.

This Is What The Bucks Think Of Your Chances Tonight, New Orleans!!!!

Cavs @ Pistons +6: The Cavs have not been a good team ATS, but neither have the Pistons. The Pistons will be without Prince and Hamilton (again). They will not have enough fire power to keep up with a rested Cavs team. We love this line. Take the Cavs and give the points.

Nuggets @ T’Wolves +8.5: This line seems a little like a trap because it is so low. The T’Wolves have not won since beating the Nets weeks ago. The Nuggets are one of the best teams in the league. On paper this seems like the line should be double digits. It may be a trap, so beware, but our analysis says ride the Nuggets all day. So, that is what we are doing. Take the Nuggets and give the points.

 

Dat's Wus Up Minnesota!! You ARe Messin' Wit the Nuggets!!

Dats Wus Up, Minnesota!! Be Carful Of Who You Are Messin' Wit!!

Mavericks @ Rockets -4: We hate the Mavs and love the Rockets. However, the Mavs own this match-up as of late. They also have more healthy weapons. Dirk is clutch. We love the points. Take the Mavs and the points.

Warriors @ Spurs -13.5: The Warriors are one of the hottest teams ATS right now, covering in 6 straight and 7 of their last 8. Unreal. They beat the Mavs outright last night with 6 freakin’ players!! Tonight they get another tough opponent in the Spurs, who are rested and ready. We love the attitude the Warriors have adopted since the injury bug hit. They have circled the wagons and look to pound everyone they play. However, tonight will be too much. The Spurs play well together and know how to win at home. They cover. Take the Spurs and give the points.

Grizzlies @ Suns -10.5: The Grizzlies are a terrible road team, but they are building confidence each night out. They are young and can really get after it. The Suns are off a lopsided win at the hands of the Pistons. We like the Grizzlies in this one because we think they match-up well against the Suns, and because they are playing solid D as of late. Take the Grizzlies and the points.

Nets @ Trailblazers -13: Nets are pathetic. Just terrible. They were crushed last night. They will get crushed again tonight. Take the Blazers and give the points.

Knicks @ Kings -4: The Knicks showed some poise last night making it a 10 point game against the Lakers. However, we think that was more of the Lakers just wanting to get out of dodge. The Knicks held their own against the Celtics last week, too. However, we think they happened to catch the Celtics in a slump. They are not a good team. We love the Kings tonight. Tyreke Evans should be back. Take the Kings and give the points.

As always, good luck with your picks.

Greetings folks! We hope to build some momentum off our 2-1 night last night. Typically on nights with only 3 games, we expect to be 3-0. However, we’ll take the wins as we can. As it stands, our season record ATS is 45-35-1. Due to some time constraints, we are leaving out a lot of the detail we typically provide. Know that everything below fits our models and is what we personally are backing. That said, here is what we are rollin’ with:

Cavs @ Pacers +4: Take the Cavs and give the points-LeBron will play and be fine.

Grizzlies @ 76ers -5: Take the Grizzlies and the points.

Heat @ Raptors -3: Take the Heat and the points.

Rockets @ Hawks -7: Take the Hawks and give the points.

Magic @ Celtics -6: Take the Celtics and give the points.

Wizards @ Thunder -4: Take the Wizards and the points.

Kings @ Mavericks -11: Take the Kings and the points.

Bobcats @ Bucks -4: Take the Bobcats and the points.

NBA PICKS FOR NOVEMBER 18, 2009

Greetings folks. We had a terrible night last night with a 3-5 record. It is our first losing night in over a week. We have had a good run as of late, but we know another 3-5 night can happen at any point and we need to stay focused. The 3-5 night brings our season ATS record to 37-28-1. That is not even close to where we need to be (our goal is 65%). So, back to work….here is what we like tonight:

Cavs @ Wizards +5: The Cavs are just not covering and they are pretty banged up. Shaq is out again and there is a good chance no Anderson Varejao tonight. Even without them in the line-up, they are a good team, but this will be a tough road game. Washington has played the Cavs well in recent years and the Dog is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings. This game will come down to Agent 0 and whether he has learned to follow his instincts like he did in the past. He has been a tentative player and if the Wizards are to keep this game close, they need to Agent 0 that drives to the basket and plays instinctively. We think he will do it tonight. Plus, the Wizards may be getting Antawn Jamison back tonight for the 1st time during the regular season. Take the Wizards and the points.

Agent 0 Sees A Win In His Future Tonight and So Do We!!!!!

Agent 0 Sees A Win In His Future Tonight and So Do We!!!!!

Bobcats @ 76ers -4: The Sixers have been extremely inconsistent. They don’t play D andtheir front court has no clue how to rebound. In our opinion, Elton Brand has been a bust, and at best, was the wrong guy to fit in with their style of play. The Bobcats are fresh off a close loss to the Magic. Stephen Jackson looked solid in his debut. Hopefully for the Bobcats, he will be a positive force on and off the court this year. Larry Brown does have some experience successfully managing problem child players. This will be a tough game for them because the Sixers are rested and waiting for them. However, the Sixers will be without Marreese Speights tonight. Speights has arguably been their spark on offense this year. We’ll see how the Sixers respond. We think Jackson will have a solid game and keep it within 4. Take the Bobcats and the points.

Trust Us, If This Guy Comes Down Your Chimney This Christmas, Call The Cops Immediately!!!!! All We Want For Christmas Are Some Covers!!!!

Trust Us, If This Guy Comes Down Your Chimney This Christmas, Call The Cops Immediately!!!!! All We Want For Christmas Are Some Covers!!!!

Thunder @ Magic -12.5: Just when the Magic seem to get all of the pieces of their puzzle together on the court at once, they lose a major piece. Jameer Nelson is out for the next 4-6 weeks with a bum knee. This is a HUGE blow for the Magic, who struggled at times in their win Monday night against the Bobcats. However, Jason Williams will get the starting nod tonight in Nelson’s absence. He is certainly not the player he once was, but he is not terrible. We think he will surprise teams with his ball handling ability. The Thunder are legit and are off a HUGE win last night against the Heat. However, this Magic team is much, much better than the Heat team they faced last night. The Magic are rested, too. The game will come down to the front courts of each team. The Thunder, surprisingly, rebound much better than the Magic do. They also play better D. They also gave the Magic their worse loss of the season earlier in Oklahoma City. The Magic will be out for revenge and should be focused for tonight’s game. The Thunder have not lost by double digits all year and the Magic, with the exception of one game against the winless Nets, have not covered double digit spreads. We think the Thunder will have the energy needed to keep it within 12.5. Take the Thunder and the points.

We Are Here To Claim The Reward....We Found His Jump Shot. It Will Be In Orlando Tonight.

We Are Here To Claim The Reward....We Found His Jumpshot. It Will Be In Orlando Tonight.

Knicks @ Pacers -6.5:Man, the Knicks are so sad. The are to the NBA what the New York Mets are to baseball-overrated by the market they are in and very, very disappointing. The Knicks are winless on the road this year and probably will not get their first win on the road tonight. This Pacers team is good and really gets after the ball on both sides of the court. Danny Granger has to be an early MVP candidate and Roy Hibbert has been ridiculous in the middle. The Knicks will have no response for either. The Pacers are HOT (5 straight wins and covers) while the Knicks are not (6 straight losses and not covering in 5 of those 6 losses). The line is low because the Pacers played last night and the Knicks are rested. We don’t care. Take the Pacers and give the points.

That Is All We Have To Say About That...

That Is All We Have To Say About That...

Heat @ Hawks -7.5: The Heat looked terrible last night against the Thunder. They could not handle the size and energy the Thunder brought to the table. Things look bad for them tonight because that is exactly what the Hawks will bring at home. This team is young, athletic and fast. Each game they player better and better together. They will be a force in the regular and post seasons this year. The Heat are good, too, but they won’t have enough in the tank tonight. Look for another low scoring Heat performance. We love this line. The Hawks have covered every time they were the favorite this year. Take the Hawks and give the points.

Warriors @ Celtics -16.5: The walking wounded Warriors limp into Beantown to face a rested Celtics team. The Celtics have struggled as of late and look to avoid a 3rd straight loss. They will. We think they cover, too. Despite the spread being high, we think the Celtics are exactly what the Warriors don’t want to see right now: a rested, veteran team that is deep and plays well together. We think the game will be somewhat close until the 4th. The Celtics win big. Take the Celtics and give the points

Hate to Be Spoilers, But The Celtics Win Big Tonight.

Hate to Be Spoilers, But The Celtics Win Big Tonight.

Rockets @ T’Wolves +5.5: The Rockets are off a big home loss to the Suns last night. The T’Wolves are off losses to pretty much everyone. They may get Al Jefferson back tonight, but even if they do, it won’t matter. Even a sluggish, tired Rockets team will cover this spread. The T’Wolves just have no answer for anyone right now. Trevor Ariza is opening eyes with his new role as a starter. He should have a solid night again. Take the Rockets and give the points.

Nets @ Bucks -10: The Nets have yet to win this season and are a dismal 4-7 ATS. The Bucks have been been outstanding this year and are tied for 2nd in the Central. With the exception of the Warriors, the Nets may have the most injured team in the league. It will not help them on back-to-back nights against a hot, relentless Bucks team at home. The Bucks will have just too much depth. Take the Bucks and give the points.

Clippers @ Grizzlies -5: The Grizzlies look to build on their win and avenge an earlier season loss against the Clippers tonight. We don’t think it will happen. Although we love OJ Mayo and Rudy Gay, we think the Clippers have a better roster. Plus they play much better D. We don’t think thegame last night will have too much of an effect on the Clippers tonight. The Grizzlies may win, but it will be close. Take the Clippers and the points.

Raptors @ Jazz -7.5: Deron Williams is back for the Jazz. That is HUGE for them. This has been along road trip for the Raptors who were crushed last night by the Nuggets. A rested Carlos Boozer should have enough to keep Bosh in check. The Jazz should win big. Take the Jazz and give the points.

Spurs @ Mavericks -2: The Spurs finally have their bug guns healthy, but even without them, they beat the Mavericks outright earlier in the month by 9. The Spurs are just a better team and the Mavericks are soft. Not much analysis for us on this one. The Spurs are winless on the road. They will right their ship tonight. They will win outright. We love the points. Take the Spurs and the points.

Could Be The Worse Photo in Sports History...No Wonder Steve Nash Left Dallas.

Could Be The Worse Photo in Sports History...No Wonder Steve Nash Left Dallas.

Pistons @ Blazers -10.5: This is one of our favorite games of the night. The Pistons are fresh off a beatdown at the hands of the Lakers last night. They are understaffed without Prince andHamilton. Travelling to Portland for a game in consecutive nights to face a rested Trailbalzerssquad is not what the doctor ordered. Portland is just much, much better in every phase of the game right now. Until the Pistons get Prince and Hamilton, they have only two legit scoring threats. One of those threats, Ben Gordon, plays crazy at times. Andre Miller will eat him alive. This game will not be close. Take the Blazers and give the points.

As always, good luck with your picks.

NBA PICKS FOR NOVEMBER 17, 2009

Greetings folks. 2-1 last night brings our season ATS record to 34-23-1. Not great, but we are inching closer and closer to our standards. There are a ton of games tonight which equals a ton of more opportunities for us to make you scratch!! Here is what we like tonight:

Warriors @ Cavs -14.5: This is a huge amount of points to give, especially for a Cavs team that is not blowing out teams like it did last year. However, this Warriors team is starting from scratch. They may only have 7 available players tonight as Stephen Jackson (traded-thankfully for Warriors fans), Raja Bell (wrist), Andris Biedrins (abs), Brandan Wright (Shoulder) and Kelenna Azubuike (knee) are out and CJ Watson (Swine Flu) and Vladimir Radmanovic are doubtful for tonight. Ridding themselves of Stephen jackson is a great move to build this franchise in the right direction, however, they will have too little for a rested Cavs team. We regret the points, but the Cavs should cover. Take the Cavs and give the points.

Jack prison stripes

At Least The Warriors Fans Won't Have to Deal With This Anymore

Pacers @ Nets +4.5: The Nets can’t buy a win. They are the only winless team in the league. They are crushed win injuries and they are playing a Pacers team that has really turned their season around. Also, nearly all ATS numbers say take the Pacers. Then why are we even going into this game in any sort of analytical way??? Because we are taking the Nets!!! That is what our analysis says and we are sticking to it. Take the Nets and the points.

We Love Ya Hovi, But They Won't Suck Tonight!!!

Thunder @ Heat -6.5: The Thunder have to be the surprise team of this early season. They are playing tough and even when they lose, they show you that they are on the right track. They get a tough test in Miami tonight against a Heat team that has not ventured too far from South Beach this season. The Heat have been good, but they struggled defensively their past two times out. However, the Heat will be rested and should get O’Neal and Chalmers back tonight. We think this will be a fun game to watch, but the Heat will muscle out the cover in the end. Ignore the fact that the road team is 8-0 ATS in the last head-to-head meetings. Take the Heat and give the points.

Now That the Grandparents Are In Bed, The Kids Can Play!!!!

Clippers @ Hornets -2.5: The Hornets will be without CP3 for quite a while and they are in a huge donwspin. They fired their coach and pissed off their best player in pretty much one night. Tonight they get a Clipp team that they have dominated in recent years (11-1 ATS in their last 12 meetings). However, this is not the typical Clippers and this is certainly not the same Hornets team that has covered in most of those games. Losing CP3 is HUGE. It means that Baron Davis is not as old as he really is which will allow him more freedom on both sides of the ball. We love the Clippers here. Take the Clippers and the points.

If It Worked For Arod and The Yankees, It Can Work For the Clippers, Too!!!!

Suns @ Rockets -3: We love the Suns in this one. They hit a little of a lull the past two games, but they should bounce back tonight. We don’t buy into the Rockets. We think it is a lot of smoke and mirrors. We think the Suns win this game outright. Take the Suns and the points.

Raptors @ Nuggets -8: The Raptors have been decent this year and have two of the best big men in the league. However, this Nuggets team is nasty and the Raptors have not had much luck in the Mile High city. We love the Nuggets here. They will be rested and this is a long road trip for the Raptors. Plus, they are Canadian and they won’t know what hit them-haha!. Take the Nuggets and give the points.

Just Remember Who You Are Dealin' Wit Toronto!!!!!

Bulls @ Kings +3: This is the start of the yearly “Circus Road Trip” for the Bulls as they begin their daunting travels due to the circus coming to Chicago. This is a tough first stop on the journey for them as they play a Kings team that is lovin’ the home life. Arco Arena is a tough place to play, and the Bulls have not had much luck their in recent history (2-6 ATS in their last 8 against the Kings).  We are taking the Kings. Love the points. Take the Kings and the points.

Not Luol's House Tonight!! The Kings Will Reign!!!

Pistons @ Lakers -9.5: The Lakers look to avoid their 3rd straight loss and are coming off two of their worse games in years. They have been terrible ATS this year (3-7) and Kobe is nursing a groin sprain. However, the Pistons may be without Rodney Stuckey, which is a waaaayy bigger concern. Pistons own this match-up ATS (12-5-1 ATS in the last 18 meetings). However, we think the Lakers right the ship tonight. Take the Lakers and give the points.

As always, good luck with your picks.

Free Winning NBA Picks: 3/23/2009

We finally had a winning night. We were 3-2 on Friday but did lose our Game 1 pick. We are 9-14 on the season and 2-3 in Game 1 picks. Some of you have been asking what our system is and have shared our insights. This “system” has looked terrible so we know why you are questioning it. However, when we were beta testing it we had amazing streaks and runs and had clips where we were winning at 63-70% clips. We are going to stick with this for awhile and you can see that we are honest with you. We do not run some marketing scam where we say we are always 5-0 or picking winniner 95% of the time. We are here to make ourselves money and to help you make money. The system will turn. Our picks for tonight are:

Game 1: Hawks -12 vs. T’Wolves. Hawks are at home and we love them in this match-up. The T’Wolves are terrible and do not take care of the ball. The Hawks d, and they are much better at this han the T’Woles. Plus, the Hawks can rip the ball and do well with steals. Their D should smother the T’Wolves. We are giving the points.

Game 2: Heat -9.5 vs. Grizzlies. This scares us a little with the Heat playing consecutive games, but we love them at home. DWade is an animal and he should have no problem getting good looks against this Memphis team. We’ll take the Heat.

Game 3: Celtics -15 vs. Clippers. The Celtics dominate the Clippers in every stat in our system. This is a no brainer fo us. A lot of points, but KG is back and the Celtics are at home.

Game 4: Sixers +8 vs. Blazers. We love the Sixers on the road in this one. They play great, energetic D and they can clean the glass with anyone. They will probably not win, but they will keep it close. Take the points.

Game 5: Knicks +6 vs. Magic. The Magic have been great as of late, but we like the Knicks at home. The Knicks can smell the playoffs and they can score. The Magic should win, but the Knicks will be able to score enough to keep it within 6.

As always, good luck.

2008 NBA: DAY 15 PICKS!!!!!!!!!

Greetings folks. Took the weekend off to focus on football and get our plan together for this week. Our season record stands at a terrible 18-20 ATS. We know that sucks and we know we are having a pretty terrible year calling games all around. But, we are still here and will keep grinding. Our NBA models have grown a little-we are analyzing way more information in picking the games. Consequently, our picks may take a little longer. Also, more analysis means potentially wordy posts. We will do our best to avoid both. We are happy where this will be going. Tonight, we are going to keep this short and sweet. Here is what we like tonight:

Trailblazers @ Magic (-7): Magic win in a close cover. Take the Magic and give the points. (NOTE: We would take this more than -7).

Thunder @ Pacers (+11.5): The Thunder are terrible, but we love the points. Take the Thunder to cover.

Nets @ Heat (-8.5): Heat win in blowout. Take the Heat and give the points.

Raptors @ Celtics (-8.5): Raptors will win outright. Take the Raptors and the points.

Grizzlies @ Suns (-11.5): Take the Suns and give the points.

As always, good luck tonight.
