Playoff picks

[nomoretime]

715 New Orleans Hornets/Dallas Mavericks Over 195 Hornets come out gunning after a 38% shooting performance. I expect both teams to push the the pace as they did in game 1 and 2...if both teams shoot at least 42% this game will go over.

1.1 to win 1

715 New Orleans Hornets +4½ -110 Hornets bounce back and keep it close after an off shooting day in game 3. CP3 and West should both come to life with Peja knocking them down the longball.

713 Detroit Pistons/Philadelphia 76ers over 89½ -110 for 2nd Half 1.1 to win 1

[nomoretime]

715 New Orleans Hornets/Dallas Mavericks over 97½ -110 for 2nd Half 1.1 to win 1
Only 11 FT's in 1st half and Dallas shot poorly. I expect about the same pace but Dallas will sink more shots and FT's should push this over.

Sides 1-0 +1
Totals: 1-3 -2.3
-1.3 on the day...totally missed the NO/Dal O thanks to the Mavs sucking 100%...Det over nearly hit despite a 3+ minute stretch with 1 point to end the 1H. Gambling for ya.

On to tomorrow. Seems tough to predict what team is going to show up each night making totals really rough on me.

717 Toronto Raptors +7½ -110
Raptors are facing elimination and have proved that they can hand with the Magic for the most part except for a couple of decisive quarters. In the 2 games the Magic won by DD they shot 53% and 49% compared to 38% and 43% by the Raptors.

717 Toronto Raptors/Orlando Magic over 204 -110
All four games in this series so far have featured a decent pace that favors the over. The 2 lowest scoring games came to 200 and 202 which were DD games...had they been closer both of those games would have been higher as well. I expect a close game from the fighting T-Raps with late fouls to help the total.

.83 to win .75 each

719 Boston Celtics/Atlanta Hawks under 188 -120 .9 to win .75
After losing last game Boston should be focused and clamp down on D and hold the Hawks to mid 80's while scoring mid 90's.

719 Boston Celtics -7½ -110 for 2nd Half
Hawks shooting 49% compared to 40% by the Celts. Celts turn up the D in the 2H and have only had 8 FT's so far.

.55 to win .5

719 Boston Celtics/Atlanta Hawks under 93½ -110 for 2nd Half
Same as above...I see the Celts limiting the Hawks in the 2H.
.55 to win .5

722 Denver Nuggets +4 -105 .42 to win .4
722 Denver Nuggets +2 -110 for 1st Half .44 to win .40
Nuggets are playing for pride at home. I was going to lay off of this game but I really think that they react positively and play with something to prove after Melo's comments.
