This my eval from another posting; sorry, didn't feel like retyping everything but you'll get the point As for those parlays (specifically as you mentioned) Too many variables with those teams/games but, hey, just my opinion!
OKC New Jersey is REALLY (No Harris, Jianlian, or Swift = loss of significant scoring, rebounding, & size)and I got a little bit of a gut feeling that the Thunder getr one of their 11 wins for the year tonight or at least play the short-handed Nets very tough
Wizards This team is also - Jamison is banged up and they are missing so many other guys. Milwaukee is 13-7-2 ATS on the road while Wiz are 7-12 ATS @ home. As a whole, this Bucks squad just seems to be moving in the right direction and getting healthy while the Wiz seem to be lacking an identity due to a complete lack of continuity in the starting lineup and rotations. I feel a lot better about the Bucks combo of Jefferson and Redd with Ridnour making solid contributions rather than Caron Butler and a banged up Jamison playing with 3 guys who, frankly, I've barely even heard of. All this w/a short line of -2.5; gotta go w/ the Bucks
Bulls This game seems better off as a no play. I just never know what team is gonna show up and, while I like to gamble, I don't like just rolling the dice and hoping. This is that really talented, young team that can beat anybody, plays about .500 ball (they'll finish 39-43 and get the 8th seed in the east), losses to come garbage teams, turns around and beats somebody through the hardwood........ I look @ the lineup and say "How do these guys not play better?" Then I look at the Blazers who are talented and an up-and-comer in the West but are really finding their identity and it is Brandon Roy. The difference when he was in and out is huge - almost 13ppg. My question is this: Why is the line so short (-3) for a team that most of us believe is a notch above when healthy? I think this is a trap; Roy played about 15 more minutes than originally anticipated in his 1st game back from injury now I'm wondering if he was overextended. Accuscore is a tool I use for evaluating games; they are pretty decent (about 68%) on the NBA although they are about 75% winners (not spreads) in NCAAB. My point: they have this game dead-even in simulations @ 98-98. Too many questions, not enough answers = no play for me. Hope this helps.
If you like NCAAB, I am really liking Notre Dame +6.5 tonight; good matchups for them sa they excel from the 3 PT line and in transition and they hit the offensive glass very hard. As a whole. this will be a hard fought game which ND could win and will stay w/in the number.

MIL (+6)
OKC (+6)
POR/CHI TIE (+-5)
