Miami at Chicago
Time for revenge. Chicago won in Miami by trashing Wade and his Heat by 42-points difference, and now they had 1 rest day more and are fully prepared to show who is the best team Heat or Bulls. Bulls never were favorites against Miami at home and this is the first time when they are set as 6 pts favorites. And the only important who is sitting on the bench now it's O'neal but looks like Heat learned how to play with only Wade on the court and today I expect them to win this game and to revenge for that huge loss. Chicago are 3-7 ATS while Heat are 6-1-3 in their last 10 games, so looks like both teams goes in different directions right now. Pick: Miami +7 @ 1.71 Bet365.com Washington at Charlotte
Washington is team to play right now because they are really hot and want to get maximum from their 3 last games this year. They won against Charlotte in 9 of last 10 games between these teams and at this moment I can't see Charlotte stopping Wizards offense which is performing 120.6 pts per game. Sure we sooner or later we should lay Wizards because of their short bench but I think best game to lay them will be played against Magic or Bucks when their 7-man rotation will play against them because of fatigue. Pick: Washington -3.5 @ 1.71 Bet365.com L.A. Lakers at Orlando
Orlando average total of 9 games (I don't include running GS offense here) is only 173.5 pts. Under is 11-1 in ORL last 12 home games. Under is 13-3 in ORL last 16 games as a favorite. Lakers usually plays half court basketball when their opponents invite them to such game type and I expect to happen this again today. Their h-2-h stats are talking about over because of 2 quarters with total over 55 points, and in other 6 quarters they scored only 176 pts or 44 pts per quarter. Maybe the reason of such high total is Lakers defense which is not working well and allow 100.5 pts in away matches but in my eyes Orlando offense is not ready right to score over 95-97. So my projected score is something like 96-87 for Orlando Magic and the pick: Pick: Under 190.5 @ 1.76 Bet365.com Cleveland at Atlanta
Atlanta's injured players -- Smith, Childress, Claxton, Lue and Pachulia are averaging a total of 59.7 points, 62 percent of the Hawks' offense this season. Smith is out for 4 weeks after surgery and all others are questionable for today's match. Cavs were feeling comfortable in both games against Atlanta season but in first one they failed to win because of awful FT percentage but is second game they were all-side better and won that game 106-95, by out-rebounding Hawks 87-71 in total. If Hawks injury troubles will continue today - Cavs will have easy night, if all will play this will be tougher but I still hold Cavs better team. Pick: Cavs (-4) @ 1.71 Bet365.com
