1 Unit on Memphis Grizzlies -5½ -110
NBA FREEBIE: MEMPHIS What in the hell is going on in Memphis? Although it’s been up and down since old man Hubie took over, for the moment these Grizzlies are firing on all pistons winning 4 straight, covering 5 and 13 of 15. The -5 ½ is all that kept me from upgrading this opinion to premium status but they have also covered the last 2 as a chalk at the Pyramid. The Grizzlies have won & covered 2 straight in the series at home covering 4 of the last 5 on the home floor. In their last 5 games overall Memphis’ average winning score has been a sterling 105-95. The Bulls have had a couple sporadic 2 game win streaks in the last month but are 6-15 their last 21 SU and are ripe for a letdown after a huge win last night at home against the Lakers. They are 3-20 SU on the road losing by an average score of 100-92.

Pro Basketball:
3 Units on Indiana Pacers +7 -110

On February 14th the Indiana Pacers were 37-15. Last night’s home defeat against New Orleans made the Pacers 1-11 SU since Valentine’s Day. Last night’s ugly 71-point effort prompted a 40-minute closed door meeting after the game. Tonight Indiana faces Philadelphia, a team they are 5-1 SU & ATS with the last 26 months. This is the most points they have received against the 76ers April of 2001. There’s no reason why Al Harrington, Jermaine O’Ne! al, and Brad Miller (questionable with foot injury), can’t dominate in the paint tonight against a soft Philadelphia interior. First home game for Philadelphia following a long five-game west coast trip. Shabby offensive efforts appear to inspire the Pacers if past history is any indication. Indiana is 16-5 ATS on the road following back-to-back games scoring 90 points or less. The Pacers are also 22-8 ATS long term following a defeat to a divisional rival on the highway. Philadelphia is just 2-9 ATS when revenging a home loss against the same opponent the last three years (Pacers won here 105-104 on January 6th). Just a case of too many points with Indiana having too big an advantage inside.

Superior Sports
Today's Pick: Philadelphia 76ers -6.5
NBA Pick for Wednesday
Indiana @ Philadelphia

We will be playing the Philadelphia 76ers -6.5 vs. the Indiana Pacers tonight. Admittedly, we are bucking some fairly strong technical trends in this game as Philadelphia is just 10-21 ATS at home this season and is 1-6 ATS their past 7 meetings with the Pacers.

That being said, we are compelled to dismiss season and/or series numbers every now and again in favor of fundamentals. Quite simply, the 76ers are playing much better basketball than Indiana right now and that really is what it all boils down to… isn’t it?

Indiana started the season unconscious, but has been on a marked cold streak over the past several weeks. In fact, they are an embarrassing 1-11 straight up their last 12 games overall. Moreover, they are a wallet breaking 7-19 ATS their last 26 games overall and just 14-20 ATS on the road this season. And to say things will not get easier for the Pacers in this game would be a major understatement.

Philadelphia is one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now, having won 11 of their last 13 games straight up and 8 of their last 11 games ATS. All in all, our power rankings show they will win this game by 12+ points and all of our subjective considerations say the same.

Our Prediction: Philadelphia 105 Indiana 92
