Friday NBA
One Unit:
Nets +3
LeBron is back and with King James goes the Cleveland Cavs. This is not the case when they run into a team that has solid position players in more than one position and this is exactly how the nets are. The Nets defeated them once but it was without lebron.
Two Units:
Milwaukee +13
Boston has been the best team in the east and the dominating record is there for proof, but have you seen the schedule? It’s not very impressive. The Celtics are for real but I am not ready to compare them to the 72 win Bull teams just yet, nor am I ready to crown them the East Champs. The Celtics are hurting a bit down low and Perkins will try to play tonight but the depth is weak with Perkins and his back up Pollard hurting. The Bucks are deep at big men with Yi and Bogut and that will help open the perimeter for Redd.
When BOSTON team played as a Home team - Last 4 years - During the month of December - Scored 90 or more points FOR in their last game the Celtics are 8-17 ATS
Three Units:
Knicks +10.5
It’s very hard to back this train wreck of a team but the Bulls are not ready to move to the next level yet and be a big chalk at home.
When NEW YORK team Played as Road team as a Underdog - with 1 day off - Coming off a 4-7 point loss they are 16-8 ATS.
When CHICAGO team played as a Home team - Last 2 years - with 1 day off - Coming off 2 overs they are 3-8 ATS.
Four Units:
Pacers -3
This line is your first indication that the Pacers are the play. The Pacers are a different team this year and I give all of the credit to Jim O’Brien. This coach has turned the Pacers around and as them playing well as a team. The team has notched impressive wins against the Magic and the Bulls of late. Confidence is the difference in this team.
When TORONTO team played as a Road team - Total is between 200 to 205 - Scored between 91 - 95 POINTS FOR in their last game they are 3-7-1 ATS.
Since the line is so small in this game it is important to look at straight up statistics as well.
When ANY NBA Team Played as Road team as a Underdog - Before a conference game - Total is between 200 to 205 - Coming off 1 game home stand they are 611-1535 Straight up (Toronto)
The play is the pacers.
