NBA Action

So I have posted on this site the game where you try to guess the line.  Now I am popping a big ol’ cherry and doing this for the NBA.  The results could very well prove comedic.  I have been watching more NBA this year than I normally do so let’s see how much of a pulse I have on things.  I will be guessing the lines for Wed (1/20).  Let’s see what’s up, real lines will be added in bold tomorrow when the lines are announced

Kings @ Hawks – Kings are doing well this year, better than most people would have supposed.  Still, playing a very tough Hawks team in Atlanta, let’s call it Hawks -7.5  Hawks (-9.5)

Pacers @ Magic – Magic have been struggling recently.  And the Lakers beat them last night with Kobe playing about as poorly as he is capable of.  That should bring this line down a bit.  Magic -5.5  Magic (-11.5)

Blazers @ 76ers – The 76ers are bad, Portland is a pretty mediocre road team, though.  Portland -3.5  Blazers (-1)

Mavericks @ Wizards – Four people were injured in the Wizards most recent shoot around.  I’ll say Mavericks -6  Mavs (-4.5)

Heat @ Bobcats – I know the Heat are playing tonight which should impact things a bit.  Bobcats are AMAZING at home.  Bobcats -2.5  Bobcats (-4)

Celtics @ Pistons – Celtics -8.5  Celtics (-5.5)

Grizzlies @ Hornets – I am not looking at stats, but it seems like the Grizzlies are playing really well over the last 5 weeks or so.  I’ll say it’s Hornets -4  Hornets (-3)

Raptors @ Bucks – Bucks -1.5  Bucks (-2.5)

Thunder @ Timberwolves – Thunder -4  Thunder (-6.5)

Nets @ Suns – This one could get legitimately ugly.  Suns -12.5  Suns (-12.5)

Jazz @ Spurs – I remember early in the season the Spurs were playing in Utah and the game was essentially a pick ’em.  This will not be the case here.  The Spurs are playing better than I thought they would this year and this Utah group is traditionally known as a surprisingly weak road team.  Let’s say Spurs -6  Spurs (-6)

Nuggets @ Warriors – Nuggets are good, how about Nuggets -6  Nuggets (-5.5)

Bulls @ Clippers – Clippers have to be the fave here, Clips -3.5  Clips (-3.5)
