    Memphis Grizzlies @ Atlanta Hawks: Atlanta Hawks -9.5 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

    Memphis has made great games, winning one, and stamping his foot to teams like Boston, where they lost by fewer and fewer details. Despite being an enjoyable team to watch play, thanks to time have the lane and good shots are not a team that knows how to make their's athletic skills to defend. The good performances and good games, has been constant, that is to be against teams that are not applied towards the defense. But today will play home to Atlanta, a team that defends very well especially at home. If you have defended very well, the team joined the cardapia have an excellent attack, where he played leading to Composing Easy baskets. Your attack goes in high, with an average of more than 120 points scored at home in the last games. Faced with a team that very well attack and defend very well, it's hard to see Memphis maintain the exhibits, thanks to its defensive sloppiness.


    Cleveland Cavaliers @ Philadelphia Sixers: Over 194 -110 (1.91) 5Dimes

    The coach of Sixiers finally changed the layout of the game, making his players play well faster when pos Brand on the bench in favor of another guard. The result was immediate, an easy victory against the GSW, with plenty of points scored. The fact is that despite his age Iverson is player for this type of game, and Iguodala will also play today, that he's equally well with games rapids. Given the likely scenario of the Sixiers maintain that pace for today, can be a fast game, and Cleveland should not certainly want to stay backward ... even further when you have nothing less than LeBron James, that if necessary alone takes 40 points of the hat. Cleveland is probably prudent for the type of game you will face, and not much would get the game, because they also have good shooters.


    Charlotte Bobcats @ Indiana Pacers: Charlotte Bobcats +3.5 -110 (1.91) The Greek & Charlotte Bobcats ML +135 (2.35) The Greek

    Indiana had dropped back to level with the lesion of Granger, having to fit a new pace of play. But Dunleavy returned, but he is a player much slower, and not to give any better against teams who defend well, as is the case of Charllote. They go to play at a slower pace, and in the last 3 games at home, and so won the Nets, having lost the rest of the games. Today, against Charllote, which is a team that defends well, are expected to have enough trouble ultrupassar the barrier. Their defense has never been anything impressive, and the truth is that Charllote has improved immensely in this regard and can now claim his second victory away from home, that they have improved since the offensive aspects earned their first away game, they lost in OT by 1 in Dallas, and lost only well in the Spurs. Note therefore clearly an improvement, which now should be to your advantage, your good attack together with its defensive profile (which is particularly evident outside the home). The fact that B2B game to Charllote can influence the odds, but the team does not get wrong with this and are 4-2 in that situation.


    Detroit Pistons @ New Orleans Hornets: New Orleans Hornets -4.5 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

    Detroit finally has the return of Hamilton, who as expected, has become "the jewel in the crown". However, lesions of Bynum and Gordon, are equally important, that they have acted as the best in the absence of Hamilton. Even play today, are with little pace, since not play a week due to the knee. They had a good phase, with 5 victories followed, but over-confidence betrayed them as expected. For today I again a poor game from them, as Hamilton after some time away, you have to play a B2B game, something that should not hold well at this stage, and the absences of two of its best basis, the team will have a hard time at home in New Orleans, that this team back to their level, with the team finally produce the expected. New Orleans can not afford to lose many more games at home, and CP3 again in great shape, will surely think again to try to go to the playoffs.

        Hot run on NBA, I'm 9-1 on L3 days, +7.23 units won!!! 17-5 and +10.55 units won on L6 days!!! :P

        For tomorrow, NBA 2009.12.19 might be a pass since i'll be with my family for some quality time. :D


        NBA 2009.12.18, final 7 picks:

        Utah Jazz @ Atlanta Hawks: Atlanta Hawks -6 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

        Utah is a good team, playing a good game, and with a 8-3 record in the last games. They played 3 games in that time on the road, and only won one, and the other loss was the only loss at home. The spot for this game is that Utah really struggles on the road, with a 4-6 record, but they specially lost on the road when visiting good teams with a positive streak and playing well at that moment. And it's what will happen today. Atlanta is playing really good so far, giving many blowout wins lately at home. Another important aspect is that Deron Willians got heart in is leg last game, and could play with a lower pace than usual for him.


        Indiana Pacers @ Memphis Grizzlies: Memphis Grizzlies -5.5 -110 (1.91) The Greek & Over 210 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

        There isn't much to say about this matchup. Two teams that struggles on defense, but can play well on offense. However the advantage are in Memphis side, as they have size and good rebounders in the paint, and are a team with facility to score in the point as well, and also have good shoters behind the arc.


        Denver Nuggets @ New Orleans Hornets: New Orleans Hornets ML +100 (2.00) Bookmaker

        With Billups out, Nuggets are not the some king of team, as he is the brain. THeir defense will be worst today, as Billups is their best defender, Carmelo could be a great scorer today, however he can have some disciplinary problems, and the pace of the team will not be the same, as Lawson is a rookie who needs to increase is team game. NO are improving game after game, and today CP3 will have no one to stop him or slow him down. Peja and West are improving as well, as long as Okafor. I've see a nice spot here, particulary with these odds.


        Detroit Pistons @ Oklahoma City Thunder: Oklahoma City Thunder -5 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

        Detroit after a good streak, returned to the place that we all have seen so far this season. A struggling team. Bynum will play with pains, and if Struckey is probable, Gordon e Hamilton aren't probable to play today. After all, these are the best scorers for the team, and if the team struggles a lot with Bynum, Stuckey and Gordon in good shape, imagine without them. We have seen in last 2 games, Or they play a bad game, without sense, or they seems to go ok, and suddenely their mind stops. Yes, going in Detroit will always be hard, at least without Hamilton in good shape and Prince. Oklahoma is with a good record, and after a bad last season due to their youth, they are showing this year that they are already adpated.Oklahoma people have started again to go see some NBA games, and are making a great support for the team. And it is important, as this team is young and can be push by the public. Against teams that are no solid or cohesive, Oklahoma don't forgive, and control the game. Today is what I expect. Oklahoma is improving their ex-rookies as weel as their new rookie, starting to have a great basketball game. Hosting a broken team, with key players injuries, is like a sweet to them, and I think that they will grab it and "eat it".


        Houston Rockets @ Dallas Mavericks: Houston Rockets +5.5 -115 (1.87) The Greek & Houston Rockets ML +200 (3.00) The Greek

        What a value! To start let's just see: after playing at home against Houston and won 121-103, Dallas has play 7 home games. In those 7 games, there aren't any convicting wins!!! Yes, Dallas is playing bad at home. But is not their game that is bad, they play enough, but they are playing with an excess of confidence and as spoiled kids. Is last onte, they almost permit a comeback to NO in 4º quarter. Won the previous one in OT by 1 point against Charllote. By two points against Philadelphia, benefiting of an error by Sixiers. Before these games, the big loss to GSW. And the two previous games, one won by 2 points, and another won on OT.
        I'm the only one to see something here?
        Houston are improving their game, with solide defense, but without Ming, they are playing with a higher pace and scoring more. T-mac returned almost after a year, and it's earning minutos and get on the rythm. The team is solid, is all ok, and it's advise about how Dallas play, as they already lost 2 games this season against them. Don't forget that they aren't so bad in road as some thing, they are with a positive record of 8-7 despite the 2 last games were losses.
        Dallas will host today another rival. At home, one place where they are 9-3 but shaking like hell in every games. They are lucky to be with that great record, as they didn't deserv all that wins due to the mentality they showed.
        So, today we will have a game between to neighboors and rivals. Tipically this games are won by foreign team. However I can see here a great spot. Dallas will show up in this game with confidence, thinking that it will be easy game as they already won, and by many, two games against Houston this year. However, Houston isn't a team to be carefuless with, as they take every chances they got to control and stay leading the game. Today I expect that Houston will show up with the right mentality to the game, and they wish some revenge from the last games. Against a spoiled and with an excesse of confidence team, I think that Dallas will taste a deserved loss after the loss against GSW, as they are not playing enough and keep the right mentality during the games.

                Los Angeles Lakers @ Detroit Pistons: Los Angeles Lakers -7 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

                Detroit has been quite good at home, winning last 5 games. That's a boost that the team had, with 6 wins in 7 games. But since that, they lost 3 on the road, and lost their momentum, has they didn't had any chance to win those games. Lakers are improving a lot, and in the lat games, they only lost on Utah, but they will want to end this roadtrip well. They got a big advantage on the paint, as they will face and old and lazy Ben Wallace, and in the backcourt, Pistons got good players, but some of them are playing with injuries, others will not play, So, they will not produce enough, and with few players in that position, they will have no rotation and it will be prejudicial to Pistons. Against a team with Kobe, it will be hard to Piston even try their chance in this game.


                Cleveland Cavaliers @ Dallas Mavericks: Under 1.8.8 -110 (1.91) 5Dimes

                Without Dirk, Mavs always struglles, after all, he is their best player. Kidd is an old player and will have to be the one to take the lead of the mavs game. Kidd is a smart player, and he knows is limit and he is slower than few years ago. So, he will try to make this game a game with a low pace, and press Mo as well.

                Shaquille will play also, and another reason to expect a low scoring game. But even so, Cavaliers is not the kind of team that pressionate to play in a higer pace. They just go with the flow. But I expect today a a bad game to be real, as Dallas needs to improve their home game, and for that, Kidd will take the lead and think all plays. Cleveland are not beeing a smashing team as before, and LeBron is the only key of the team, however, it's unlikely to make him score 50 points, as Clev needs to be intelligent in this game as Mavs.


                Charlotte Bobcats @ New York Knicks: Charlotte Bobcats +4 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker & Charlotte Bobcats ML +160 (2.60) Bookmaker

                Chalotte is one of the best defender teams, second in the league in allowing points, 8th in 3 points and 9th in FG%. And if they wera also one of the worst teams in offense as well, they have improved that a lot after the trades they made. Jackson is a pure scorer, and has give more power to their offense, and the results were immediate. Despite the 1-11 record on road, Charllote in last four road games have won in Washington, blowout loss in San Antonio, loss in OT in Dallas, and a defeat by small margin in Indiana.

                Knicks had a good moment, but this team still needs to improve their game in order to keep a good record. They got some wins, over no-defense teams, or teams that think it would be to easy. The normal game for Knicks is run and gun, however, when they start to miss, they usually miss a lot, and lost.

                Despite the good record of Knicks at home in last games, Charllote is a good defending team and will implant that in today game. When Knicks faces a good defending team, they really strugles, and it's why i think Charlotte got value today.

                      Philadelphia 76ers @ Washington Wizards: Over 206 -110 (1.91) The Greek

                      Sixiers have adopted a faster game, moving one men of the frontcourt to the bench in exchange for a guard. The results finnaly appear, and after a 11 losing games streak, they finnally won some games and are fighting with the mininum conviction to. Washington are going thru a bad moment, with 1-7 in last 8 games. The teams is under some questions because they have 3 all stars finnally playing togehter and some young that are showing a good improvment, however the results still missing. But today, we will have a game between Sixiers, a team that is starting to play a a kind of run and gun, and Wizards, a team that have great scorer, but is not a good defender. Due to the rumors of trades, I believe that the Wizards players will try to show all they know to try a trade to a good team.


                      Detroit Pistons @ Charlotte Bobcats: Charlotte Bobcats -5 -110 (1.91) The Greek

                      Even without Wallace and with Jackson leaving the game after half game played, Charlotte gived a good responde in their last game on NY. Even without these 2 players, key players, the team suffered from an last minutes inspiration of Gallinari and and lack of accuracy in those minutes. Today, the team should be ok again to play, and I expect a blowout win.

                      Detroit is sufering big problems. They are playing a bad basketball, but it seems unlike to improve it for now, as they got all their best players with problems. Some of those players will not play, other, like Villanueva and Bynum, will play with pains. Without Villanueva in the frontcourt, Ben Wallace doesn't have the age to stand in the paint and make something. Villanueva will probably play, but like he said, he got sharp pains during any step he make. So, it will be hard to make a good performance. Something with Bynum, and that will leave Stuckey alone and without any credible rotation.

                      Charlotte is a great defender particulary at home, and will keep saying that after the trades, they had improved their offense to join their good defense. And that's the truth. Facing a broken team is a game easy to play for team, and Detroit haven't any argue to even try to fight for this game.


                      Atlanta Hawks vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Minnesota Timberwolves -110 (1.91) Bookmaker & Minnesota Timberwolves ML +375 (4.75) The Greek

                      Atlanta is playing a great game, giving blowout losses for those they hosted. However, on the road the conversation is differente. They are not able to smash the opponents as well as they do at home. They are 7-5 on the road, but for example, they lost 2 games in last 4 road game in Detroit and in Chicago. Against desperate teams. Their edge is usually on their big and atlethic frontcourt, with Joe Johnson dishing or scoring points behind. However, Johson made 40 points last game in Chicago, but it wasn't enough to give Atlanta a win. So, this roadtrip they will end only few days after christmas, didn't start well.

                      Minnesota will probably have Gomes again today. He is probable, and after Love returned from his injurie, this team had a great improvment. They are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games, and in their last 5 home games they only lost one game without a chance, as they won 2, lost 1 by 1 point and another by 2 points.

                      Timberwolves have concentration and the will to win today SU. It will not be easy, but this is a real chance, as they strong enough to hold Atlanta frontcourt, and have two great and motivated guards behing. Atlanta is losing some "gas" when facing teams that give their blood in the field to try their chances, and on the road, they are not so strong. Johson could be again their hero today, as they will have troubles in frontcourt, but its unlikely to happen, as he already made a great performance last game, and it's hard to expect another performance as his last.

                        Golden State Warriors @ Memphis Grizzlies: Memphis Grizzlies -7.5 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

                        Golden State are a team that base their game on run and gun style. They got great scorers, but in the frontcourt they have no advantage right now because of their injuries. They still have great scorer behind the arc, however isn't enough when they face teams that are concentrated. They are now dealing with that injuries, but it's probable that after Christmas they will have the return of their 2 best players in the frountcourt. So, they probably will be real and only target a game to return to victories after Christmas. This team is 1-9 in their last 10 games and have several trade rumors, as Maggete isn't appreciated by the fans anymore, even knowing he his a great scorer. The truth is that this team can make bug surprises, however they have to face teams that think the game is won before the start.

                        Today they will face Grizzlies, a team that is improving a lot game after game, with a solid team from front to back. This will be their last game before Christmas, and are coming from great wins at home, which will probably be a great boost to their confidence. Memphis are much better now, with high control of the games, as they are can combine a good offense with a great rebounders, either in defense and offense. It will probably enough to manage today game against a no-confident team.

                                This will be a matchup between two contenders to the championship. But isn't all. It's probably a game between two runners to MVP title.

                                Cleveland after LeBron turned a star, have two kinds of teams. The first kind is a team that it's only LeBron plus 4 players. Since they signed Mo Willians, and with improvement of their centers. But the team get a little bit comfortable again, and still to much dependent of LeBron. For this year they signed Shaq, however it's only a big name, and isn't anymore a big player in quality terms. So, even we thought that this team would improve from last year with this sign, the truth is that the team isn't corresponding so well this season. They already have 8 losses, isn't much, but for the expectations is a little bit to much. They are struggling against teams that are showing a good game, as they are a little bit less effective in their defensive, as their centers aren't producing the expected.

                                Lakers are 16-1 after the return of Gasol. They are playing well, and are strong in the paint. This team is the actual champion, and are already launched to make a great season. This team, even when they slowdown, are able to win. Even with a broken finger, Kobe led this team to some straight wins, showing to everyone what is a champion. Their offense is going great particularly at home, and they usually allow less than 95 points. If you thing that they have an average of 105 points scored, we can conclude that their average is a win by 10 points. Show how ease it his, and this team is invincible at home since the return of Gasol, the key to a great improvement for this team.

                                Today we can expect two different teams. Cavaliers will try their best, with LeBron making a great game for sure. Shaq will return for the house where he was a big star and a champion, but he can't play many minutes. In the paint, there is a huge advantage to Lakers, and will be probably the key for this game. LeBron will be the best scorer for Cleveland and they will have to wait for some inspiration for another player, for example, Mo Willians. Lakers doesn't have to wait for anything. Their players are all good scorers, and this team enjoy and loves to play this big matches against another contenders. It will not take their foot off the accelerator even when they get in control of the game.


                                Pick: Los Angeles Lakers -5.5 -110 (1.91) The Greek



                                Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns

                                Christmas should be a happy day for players. We can expect some Christmas spirit today, and the effect will be probably a soft defense, as both team will not be to hard doing something that they aren't good to.

                                Clippers are a team with good scorers. They have great scorers behind the arc as Davis and Gordon, and great scorers in the paint, such as Kaman and Camby. This team average normally 100 points allowed and the some on scored, but the tendency is making this numbers groin, as they are with 101 points scored and allowed in last 5.

                                Suns is a well known team. In 12 home games, only once they missed the target of 100 points scored. At home, this team was invincible until 2 games ago. In last 2 games, the team suffered the first and second home loss. Something strange, as they were showing a great game led by the veteran Nash.

                                This matchup have all to be a comfortable over. Some joy due to the holiday, two teams adept of offensive game, one bad defender as host and another as visitor, and a team that will be try to win this game with all they got. Suns can't miss another win at home and today will fight hard. And when they fight hard, it means that they will give all they got on offense. However, Clippers aren't making easy the game in this roadtrip, and normally scores 100 points even against good defensive teams. Against a no-defense team, it will be probably be higher.
