Hey Guys,
Havn't posted for a while since i've been tied down with Uni. Thought I'd put some picks up to help some people win some cash!
NOR/MIA - MIA -4
Miami are fighting for homecourt
With defenders Posey and chandler still out, expect wade to have little problem taking it to the hole
CP3 is the only trump card for this decimated Hornets squad and he will be well guarded by Chalmers
As always in Miami, it will be the Dwade show
ORL/HOU - UNDER 188.5
Both excellent defensive teams with everyone in every position marking each other quite well
The Rockets who score fairly well will have their leading scorers Yao and Artest marked by Howard and Lee/Turkulu respectively. This means LESS SCORING and more reliance on the long jumper
I project this to be around the 180-184 mark
Good luck everyone!!!
6W-3L
INCLUDING UNOFFICIAL PLAYS/LEANS - 70% (7-3)
Hey Guys,
Just posting my plays for today and some of the totals will be different as I hit on them last night but I will give my projections
UTA/PHX - UNDER 228.5 (Projected at 220)
Utah will be playing back to back and are not too good going into their 2nd games
PHX are desperately trying to get into the playoffs so SOME defence will be attempted to keep the JAZZ at bay
I believe the Jazz bigs will rely on their jumpshots further out from the paint in order to avoid the big cactus inside
Phx is lacking firepower in their bench so will not be scoring as much as usual
BOS/ORL - UNDER 191.5 (Projected at 187, total is now at 188.3 :()
Both teams are fighting for homecourt over each other for the playoffs so DEFENCE will be the name of the game
As a result, the paint will be avoided more with both teams having strong interior presenses will trigger more jumpshots, particularly 3s
The only concern is if the 3pt shooters get hot but I very much doubt this
MIL/TOR - UNDER 202 (Projected at 196max)
WIth the addition of Marion to the squad, Charlie V and Jefferson will be covered and scoring from these 2 will be decreased FO SHIZ!(Hopefully)
Behind the 2 top scorers of MIL there are not too many others
MIL are also on a scoring slump
leans
CHAR/WAS - under 191 (charlotte playing hard and using D to make it to the playoffs)
GOOD LUCK TO ALL
After another relatively successful day its time for another few plays
PLAY OF THE DAY
MINN/ATL - UNDER 195.5
- Minny are playing back to back
- Atlanta defence will deplete any offence that minny has
- I have projected this to be 190-192 max
- Should be an easy game for the hawks
Weaker plays
MEM/MIA - UNDER 193.5- Miami is being back to back so their offence will be less effective, esp with Wade carrying a hip injury
- Miami has a defensive answer for each of the key Memphis offensive weapons
- Memphis is a young team that doesn't score much on the road
- I have projected this to be 190-192max
- Will be a tight one so take it easy and possibly hedge it
I will be looking into some more games when i get time, particularly the ORL game which i project to be totally 208, well below the 213 made by the bookies. Boston should also be good but will get to it later
Good luck to all!
2-1 so far
After a relatively successful day minus the unfortunate last minute 3pter to spoil the boston play, its time to make some plays for Monday
Official Play of the Day
Houston / San Antonio: Spurs -3.5
After copping a hard loss from the C's, the Spurs will look to make a comeback against their Texas rivals. Defence will win this game and the Spurs depth will overpower the rockets. The Spurs also tend to play strong going into playoffs too so hopefully this line should hit.
Other plays
Miami/Detroit - Projected Total : 189
Without Hamilton and Sheed, most of the offence will be run through Stuckey and Prince. Stuckey will be marked up by the very competent Chalmers, making their offence run less effectively as usual against the underrated Miami heat defence.
I expect the heat to win. If the line comes out to be anything less than 4 I say take it!
Cleveland/ New Jersey: Cavs -6.5
The Cavs will prove to be too stong for this NJ team that lacks the additional firepower of Harris. VC will need to carry the bulk of the offensive load and will most likely be taken on by LBJ. Provided Brook Lopez can also be contained by the Cleveland bigs, there isn't too many scoring options to test the cavs. The only doubt here is the fact Cleveland has played back to back against the hardnosed Hawks.
These last 2 plays are weaker plays and they will be my little side bets.
Good luck to all, lets get that money!
Hey guys, I just decided I want to put some of my picks up here and help where I can. Hopefully all goes well.
>INDIANA Pacers/CHARLOTTE Bobcats - Under 198.5
Charlotte is playing excellent defense and Gerald Wallace will mark up well against the Pacers leading scorer Danny Granger. Both teams are also playing back to back. Expect the Pacers to rely on outside shots.
>BOSTON Celtics/ MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES - UNDER 191.5
As everyone knows the C's will play great D. With competent defenders Pierce on Gay, and Allen on the rookie Mayo, expect the C's to win easily and hold the Grizz down offensively. C's are also back to back with KG playing limited minutes.
> WASHINGTON Wizards/PHOENIX Suns - Under 232.0
Washington will be lacking firepower to keep up with the Suns run and gun playing style, especially without Butler. There is practically no one in their squad to keep the big Cactus under control in the paint. THe lack of points from the Wizards end will keep this baby under!
Good luck to you all from the land down under!
