Play 1- Toronto Raptors-7
The recent trends in this series may point to taking the road dog to be successful, but this year will be different. The wizards have not covered on the road this year when getting more than 6 points besides opening night. may be tempting to take the wizards because of history of the meetings between these two, but tonight it wil be the raptors prevailing.
Wizards are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog.
Play 2:Golden State Warriors +13
THe pubic will be all over the nuggets after their embaressing loss against the t-wolves, but i dont think that has been a coincidence. the nuggets seem to have problems finding a good rotation to put on the court to support melo and their overall team play has been a bit shaky. the warriors after an impressive win yesterday come into denver as double digit dogs, which is teh reason i like them. the warriors have been consistent in covering double digit spreads as underdogs this year, with their only non cover being against the spurs where they did not cover by the hook. ill look for the warriors to keep this game somewhat close and lose by maybe 8 or 9 points.
Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog of 11.0 or greater
Play 3- Phoenix Suns -4 First half
this bet is just based on my noting of the knicks problems starting off home games this year. they always seem to start off slow and work their way back in the second half. ill take the suns to cover the first half
play 4- portland trailblazers -7
miami is just playing bad basketball and they come into the rose garden to play a tough portland team.this game will only be as close as d-wade wants it to be and brandon roy will have something to do with that. miami is poor against western conference foes as well.
