  • 2 Local picks/Rationale

    NBA (1-1) (-.08 units)
    NCAA (2-2) (-.12 units)

    Based on 1,2,3 unit system. All plays have been 1 unit before tonight. Current Pinnacle Odds used at time of posting.

    NBA
    NJ (+3) -111 2 units
    Milwaukee has won 9 consecutive home games providing good value with NJ. Looking inside the victories however, Bucks coach Porter remains concerned about the Bucks turnover tendencies against pressure oriented defenses (most recently 24 in home win over Boston on Tuesday). New Jersey brings on the pressure, especially at the guard position where Jason Kidd will be harassing rookie TJ Ford. New Jersey comes in playing good ball (having won 5 of last 6 overall and 3 of 4 on the road) and a rested Kenyon Martin who is back from suspension. I look for NJ's pressure to be too much for Milwaukee in this spot.

    NCAA
    WISCONSIN MILWAUKEE (-8, 1st half) -105 2 units
    Struggling Youngstown State visits Milwaukee carrying an 0-8 road record vs a Panther team that has a 4-0 conference record for the first time in its history. Y-State averages 17.1 turnovers per game and an anemic 26.5 first half points in road games. This game is being played in the Klotsche Center, which is a little gym on the UWM campus. The Panthers only get 3 home games this year on campus and the crowd will be right on top of the struggling visitors. With the Penguin's turnover penchant adding fuel to the fire, the fast starting Panthers (41.2 pt average in first half of home games) figure to dominate early and carry a double digit lead into the intermission in this one.

      to go to that one tonight and passed mainly because of the crowd and thier close proximity ( been there before ) and I can assure you it is a mad house .
