NBA Monday
1. The Bucks travel to LA to face the Clippers (-3). The Bucks have won 3 in a row, and will have PG Jennings back. Jennings played 11 minutes on Saturday without scoring and should still be rusty on Monday. The Bucks are 8-16 on the road this year. The Clippers are looking for their 9th straight home victory and have beaten the Bucks 9 out of the last 10 meetings in LA. The Clips are the pick!!
2. The Wizards travel to Dallas to take on the Mavs (-9.5). Washington is 0-23 on the road this season and is in the middle of a long road trip. They lost by 14 on Saturday in Memphis, and don't usually compete on the road. The Mavs have won 4 in a row and have been playing much better since Nowitzki came back from injury. They should have no problem with Washington. Pick is Dallas!!
3. Memphis (+3) at home against the Orlando Magic. The Magic are only 13-11 on the road this year and have struggled against teams that aren't bottom feeders in the last month. The Grizzlies have won 4 of their last 5 games, and look to take advantage of an Orlando team that played yesterday. Go Grizzlies with the points (+3).

NBA Sunday
NBA Sunday
1. Alert**Deron Williams is out again today, so the bet of the day is G-State (-2.5) at home vs Jazz. We all know how bad the Jazz have played on the road this month (1-6). The Warriors are 13-10 at home on the season, but should improve on that tonight. Go Warriors!!
2. Get in on the Lakers (-2.5) vs Boston. Old teams like Boston struggle on long road trips and they played terrible on Friday losing to the Suns by 17. The play is to take the Lakers and buy a half point adjusting the line making it (-2). Go Lakers!!
**Maybe more later today, I just woke up. Go Lakes!

NBA Quick Hits
NBA Saturday
1. The Bulls (-7.5) at home against the Pacers. The Bulls are hot right now winning 4 in a row and own a 22-4 Home record on the year. The Pacers have really struggled on the road, losing 13 of their last 14 games. Yes, Indy won last night by 32 points at home vs New Jersey, but bad teams usually don't play two good games in a row. The Bulls should dominate. Pick Chicago!!
2. Milwaukee (-5.5) hosts the NJ Nets, with both teams coming off a game last night. The Bucks won in OT last night on the road in Toronto, while the Nets lost by 32 in Indiana. The Nets have lost 20 of their last 21 road games. Pick the Bucks!!
**Fantasy Basketball Top 100 and updates on the way soon.

NBA Friday
NBA Friday - Tough games today
1. Let's start with Denver (-9.5) at Cleveland. The Cavs have lost 18 straight games and are 5-14 at home. They have won one game in the last two months. The Nuggets beat them by 28 points just two weeks ago. Denver has won two straight road games and should make it 3 tonight. Go Nuggets!!
2. The Utah Jazz (-8.5) host the T-Wolves tonight, and will be without star point guard Deron Williams. The Jazz are 15-8 at home, but might be missing F Paul Millsap as well with a bad thumb. If they have no Williams and no Millsap, then covering a large spread will be very difficult. Thinking Minnesota (+8.5).
3. The 76ers (-3) take on Memphis in Philly. The 76ers have won three straight and are 14-7 at home. Memphis can play, but will be thin on the bench without O.J. Mayo (suspension). Let's go with Philly!!
4. Boston (-3.5) takes on the Suns in Phoenix tonight on ESPN. The Suns have lost three in a row, including a home loss to Charlotte on Wednesday. The Celtics are rolling right now after pummeling Portland last night by 10. The Celts have won 7 of their last 8. Let's go Green--Celts baby!

NBA Thursday and Injury Update
NBA Tonight - 3 Games
1. The night game with Boston (-4) at Portland is the one we like the best. The Blazers aren't the same team without Roy and Camby, and tonight they play the Celtics and their Eastern Conference best 12-7 road record. The Blazers are coming off a 15 point home loss to last place Sacramento and looked completely out of rhythm. Boston just pummeled the Cavs by 17 on Tuesday and are just starting their west coast road trip tonight. Teams generally play better at the beginning of road trips. The Celts are the big pick!!
2. The Heat (-3.5) battle the Knicks in New York on TNT at 5:00 pm. The next point of interest is the Over/Under 211. The Knicks snapped a 6 game losing streak on Monday by beating the Wizards. The Knicks play better at home and score more points as well. The Heat won't have F Chris Bosh tonight and will start 3 point shooter James Jones in his place. Look for a high scoring affair. Lebron loves playing in the Garden. The Over started at 208 but should be no problem. Go with the Heat and the Over!! Lebron failed to hit a jumper all game finishing 7-24 shooting with all dunks or layups--amazing.
**Notable Players - OUT for at least the Weekend
Boston: Shaq O'Neil, J. O'Neil, D.West. Hou: Brad Miller. Port: Marcus Camby, B.Roy. Mil: B.Jennings, J.Salmon. CHI: J.Noah. Nets: T.Murphy. Char: Ty.Thomas. LA-Clip: Eric Gordon, C.Kaman. Ind: B.Rush. Spurs: M.Bonner. Cavs: Mo Williams. Sac: F.Garcia. Wash: Josh Howard

NBA Tonight
Great Lakers Game last night, but a little disappointed with the huge blowout. The ultra scrubs played most of the fourth quarter, even Luke Walton got pulled for Joe Smith late.Wow. Thanks Bro.
NBA Tonight - Wednesday January 26, 2011
1. Let's look at the OKC Thunder (-5) at Minnesota. Minnesota is 1-9 in the last 10 games and the Thunder are in first place and need a win badly. The Thunder have struggled against top teams this season, the Wolves are not top tier. Roll with the Thunder!!
2. Atlanta (-2) travels to Milwaukee where they look to improve on their impressive road record 15-9. They should get Al Horford back just in time for tonight. Go Hawks!! How do you get outscored by 19 in the 4th Q?
3. New Orleans (-2) travels to G.State, looking to keep their 9 game win streak alive. The Warriors play well at home, but not recently. Let's go with the Hornets!!
4. Spurs (-3) at Utah. The Spurs are the best team in the NBA, and play the best on the road 14-5. Yes, the Jazz are a much better team at home 15-7. We really don't see the Jazz getting out of their funk quite yet. Go Spurs!!
