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.

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.

FREE WINNING NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 2, 2009
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!
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!!!!!!
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.
The Best Part Of This Is the Rain Poncho/Hefty Bag! He Probably Found This Near Lake Erie and Thought He Could Be Shaq Fu Panda.
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!!!!
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!

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!!!!
Is It Us, Or Does Chris Bosh Look Like The Predator?!?!? The Resemblance Is Striking!!!
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!!!
Yeap. Nuff Said.
Witness The Rebirth of Cool!!!! Just Not Tonight In Denver.
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.
Brilliant!!! We Need These To Rain From The Rafters in LA Tonight!!!
As always, good luck with your picks.

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!!!!
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!!!!
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!!!!
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!!!
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.
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.

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!!!!!
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!!!!
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 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...
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.
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.
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.

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.

Free NBA Betting Picks for 3/20/2009
Well this system sure fell apart. Glad we got to ride it for more than 100 games. We are gonna plod along and see if we can not right this ship. We are 2-2 in Game 1s and 6-12 on the season. Our picks for the night are:
Game 1: Knicks -9.5 vs. the Kings. Being at home is key in this pick. We think the Knicks roll. They can score some points and the Garden can be tough for Westside teams. Take that and the fact that the Knicks just protect the ball so much better than the Kings do. We are taking the Knicks and giving the points.
Game 2: Pistons -7 vs. the Clippers. We love us some Detroit Rock City, and so do the Pistons. They are not as good as they have been in recent years, but they are a veteran team that protects the ball, plays good D and rebounds decently. This is no place for a Clippers team that does none of those things well. Like the Knicks game above, home is key in this pick. We are taking the Pistons and giving the points.
Game 3: Thunder +5 vs. Jazz. That’s right…we are rollin’ with the Thunder. They are not from Down Under, but we’ll take OKC. In our system, these teams match-up pretty closely (despite their records). We love the points.
Game 4: Rockets -11 vs. T’Wolves. The Rockets play sick D and they are at home. They will dominate this game. The T’Wolves will have no answer for the Rockets D and their hustle. We are gladly giving these points.
Game 5: Warriors +1.5 vs. Sixers. Home is key for this pick, too. Also, the Warriors have a solid advantage against the Sixers in our system, and we love them on the back-to-back. They can put-up points with the best of them. We’ll gladly take more.
As always, good luck.
