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)
