I have only one GOY and sometimes don't have any. My record on these games over the years here is very strong, including an easy winner on my NBA GOY last year.
4* Game of the Year Warriors -3 1/2
1) Golden State is HIGHLY motivated to win this game. They want Don Nelson to break the all-time win record before the end of the year and this is the most winnable game on the schedule.
2) Golden State is a spectacular ATS team: 42-31 including a strong 23-15 at home.
3) The undermanned Knicks are in the middle of a long west coast road trip and look exhausted. They've given up a staggering 353 points their last three games (average 118 a game) and 573 their last five.
4) A run and gun team like Golden State may score an amazing number of points against a Knicks team that has quit playing any defense.
5) An indication the Warriors will go all out: Maggette and Monta Ellis, both of whom are on the injured list half the time, are going to play.
6) When Golden State has Curry, Ellis and Maggette on the court at the same time, they have an unbelievable scoring punch.
7) Golden State is actually playing well when they meet a bad opponent and held their own through a very tough scheduling stretch.
Bottom line: The Knicks are playing out the string while the Warriors are having fun jacking up shots. Golden State, at home, has big motivation for Nelly while the Knicks are playing for, well, nothing.
(((NOTE: I obtained this line at betmania. It is -4 most other places but I think is playable for big money anywehre up to -6.))))
2* Heat +1
Miami is being willed into the playoffs by Wade. They've won six in a row and can move up to the 5-seed in the east with a win. The Pacers are hot but this is an important game for Miami.
1* Grizzlies -3 1/2
Look at the lineups and tell me who you'd take. With the exception of point guard, I contend Memphis is better at every position. With both teams playing out the string, go with the better team which also happens to be the home team.
