Daily Message:

We are coming from a profitable day but once again I feel that we could have a better night. It looks like we are present in every weird game in the NBA…but obviously on the wrong side. Last night, the Cavs and the Sixers combined to score 70 points in the first quarter and then 77 points…in the entire second half! However the weirdest stuff happened in the Bulls/Heat game. By looking to the final score you can say that the Under 190.5 points play was never “in reach” but just look to this:

With 4:43 to go in the final quarter the score was 90-77 for Miami (167 points) - We have a good chance to win the Under or at least it will be tight race for both ways. Then:

4:43   Brad Miller flagrant foul type 1 (Dwyane Wade draws the foul)
4:43   Kirk Hinrich technical foul (1st technical foul)
4:43   Brad Miller technical foul (1st technical foul)
4:43   Kirk Hinrich technical foul (2nd technical foul)

Miami will have 5 free throws in the same ball possession!!! Kirk Hinrich was obviously ejected and in his place:

4:43   Jannero Pargo enters the game for Kirk Hinrich

What happened next? Well…

4:16   Jannero Pargo makes 25-foot three point jumper
3:48   Jannero Pargo makes 25-foot three point jumper
2:14   Jannero Pargo makes two point shot
1:47   Jannero Pargo makes driving layup
1:12   Jannero Pargo makes 17-foot jumper

Jannero Parko who supposedly was done for the game comes in to replace Hinrich and scores 12 points in 4 minutes! LOL

I also want to share one game that happened this season and thank god we didn’t have a play in that game. The game was between the Cavaliers and the Wolves. The lines were Cavs by 13 and 201 points.

With 19 seconds to go the score was 105-95 for the Cavs with the Cavaliers having the ball so the game is over right? (Right now the Wolves would have covered the spread and the Under was a winner play).

Answer: No! The Wolves committed 2 fouls that sent the Cavs to the FT line. After all the Wolves’ players thought that with 19 seconds to go and trailing by 10 in CLEVELAND they still had chances to win the contest…LOL

0:14   Ramon Sessions personal foul (Jamario Moon draws the foul)
0:11   Al Jefferson personal foul (Zydrunas Ilgauskas draws the foul)

Well, Ilgauskas converted both free throws and the score was 107-95 for the Cavaliers with 11 seconds to go. Unfortunately Kevin Love committed a turnover in the inbound play and so the Cavaliers had the ball back. With 9 seconds left, trailing by 12 points and with the Cavaliers having the ball, the game is now over right? Wait….the Wolves are still covering the 13-points spread!!! So what you do?

0:09   Kevin Love personal foul (Jawad Williams draws the foul)
0:09  95-108  Jawad Williams makes free throw 1 of 2
0:09  95-109  Jawad Williams makes free throw 2 of 2

Finally with the Cavaliers winning by 14 points and covering the spread, the game can now come to an end and that was it. If you took the Cavaliers -13 in that game we can consider yourself a lucky guy, in my case it was another case of “NBA, when weird stuff happens”.

Injury report for today:

- Clippers Eric Gordon is still doubtful for tonight;
- Guard Ty Lawson is doubtful for tonight;
- Ronny Turiaf is also doubtful for tonight;

NBA Saturday Card

NBA – 803 Cleveland Cavaliers @ 804 Philadelphia 76ers

In my opinion we have a good opportunity with the Over in this contest as all the matchups favors the occurrence of a high scoring game.

The Cavaliers will play tonight without Shaquille O’Neal and Antawn Jamison down low and obviously head coach Mike Brown will be forced to play with a smaller lineup. I believe that during the game we will see Lebron James playing at the Power Forward position with the Cavs using a 3-guard lineup. Bottom line, the Cavs will be able or forced to run up the floor due to the absence of their “bigs”. Nevertheless in any circumstance they won’t have any kind of problem to score against this Sixers team.

The Sixers are a terrible defensive team and in their last game they allowed the Bobcats to score 62 points in the first half! I was against them in that game and honestly I don’t think that they care about their coach right now. However they have some explosive offensive weapons and it may be hard to believe but they have some edges against the Cavaliers tonight.

Mo Williams and Anthony Parker have been constantly outplayed and exposed in the last games and tonight it won’t be different. Against the Spurs, Manu Ginobili and George Hill combined to score 61 points while shooting 20-36 from the field – we are talking about 65% of the total points scored by the Spurs. Or Brandon Jennings having a great game against the Cavs by scoring 25 points or even another rookie named Marcus Thornton dropped 37 points on them. The Sixers have in rookie Holiday and Louis Williams a dynamic backcourt that push the pace in every opportunity and this will hurt the Cavs guards (other than Delonte West). Also the Cavs will be shorthanded on the front and this will open some space to Elton Brand down low.

I expect this contest to be a high scoring game between two teams that have plenty of edges on the offensive end and I’m taking the Over in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Over 198 @1.91 on Bookmaker

NBA – 815 Denver Nuggets @ 816 New Orleans Hornets

I like the Denver Nuggets tonight to roll past the Hornets with Carmelo Anthony having a big night.

The Hornets will play without Peja Stojakovic and James Posey at the wings and Carmelo won’t have any opposition tonight. The Hornets are 3-7 L10 games and they are fading away as long the season goes. The biggest problem for them is that the other teams are adjusting to the presence of their dynamic due of rookie guards and right now it’s tough for them to surprise everyone. Note that in their last game against the Thunder, Collison and Thornton combined to shot 7-27 from the field! To make things even worse, Collison will matchup tonight against Chauncey Billups and I don’t think that he is ready for such challenge.

With the Mavericks lighting up the race in the Western Conference, the Nuggets can’t afford to take lightly any opponent right now. They will take advantage of the poor Hornets perimeter defense and I expect them to win this contest by 8/9 points.

NBA – 601 Charlotte Bobcats @ 602 Philadelphia 76ers

In my opinion we have the proper edge with the Bobcats for a top play especially because we “only” need them to win this contest without worrying about the point spread measure.

Both teams have played last night and had to travel for tonight’s contest (the Sixers will play their 3rd game in 4 days) so being both teams in a physically bad spot the mental toughness is a crucial part for tonight’s contest. In my opinion we have plenty of reasons to believe that the Bobcats WANTS more to win this contest than the Sixers and this willingness to fight through the adversity will be the X factor in here.

The Bobcats made a huge comeback last night against the Heat that showed how tough this team is. In fact, the Bobcats are 9-3 ATS on the road playing in back to back nights in a clear sign of toughness from them. With that victory against a direct opponent and with the Bulls loss against Utah, the Bobcats are now standing in the 7th spot for the playoffs and surely they won’t lack motivation for tonight.

The same cannot be said about the Sixers who are constantly losing games against “winnable teams”. Some news are suggesting that the Sixers GM sooner or later will fire head coach Eddie Jordan:
“These sources indicated that Jordan could be fired before this season ends - if it becomes obvious he has lost the team - but more likely after the final game of this dismal season.
One of these sources also characterized Comcast-Spectacor chairman Ed Snider as “up in arms” about Jordan’s coaching effort, with another source with intimate knowledge of the management’s thinking calling Jordan’s coaching “baffling.”
According to sources close to the team, the players “no longer believe in Jordan’s coaching system or philosophies” and are trying to finish this season strong for pride and contractual obligation.”

I don’t think that the Sixers players will match the intensiveness of the Bobcats players tonight.

Looking now for the matchups in this contest, I believe that the Bobcats have some advantages. I’ve been saying that the Sixers are a team that needs to score in transition and in the paint while at the same time they are a terrible defensive team. Well, last night the Pacers (without their best player Danny Granger) were able to score 52 points in the paint against the Sixers – I remember that the Pacers are the 4th worst team in the league scoring in the paint averaging just 37.7 ppg! The last two wins for the Sixers were against the Raptors and the Warriors and the common factor in those two wins was the fact that the Sixers faced two awful teams in protecting the paint and prevent fast break points. Meanwhile the Bobcats are a way better defensive team and I expect them to hold the Sixers offense tonight while they will exploit the terrible defense of the Sixers.  Take the Bobcats tonight as my Triple Dime Play.

Apparently we are stuck into the 0.500 mark in the last days as yesterday we went 2-2 for a tiny loss day. The suspension of Danny Granger didn’t help us at all with our Over while once again we’ve lost one play by half a point with the Celtics leading the majority of the game but they blew up the lead down the stretch.

Injury report for today:

- Brendan Haywood is still questionable for tonight while guard Jose Barea is doubtful ;
- Clippers Eric Gordon did not play yesterday and he is questionable for tonight;
- Rodney Stuckey is doubtful for tonight’s game against the Jazz;
- Zack Randolph is probable;
- Peja Stojakovic is questionable while Russell Westbrook is probable;
-Tracy McGrady is probable after missing last game against the Hawks;

Daily Message:

Last night we had one of the easiest plays of all season as we’ve cashed our Double Dime play by 51.5 points! However the Hawks couldn’t get done the job in New York and lost 98-99. I expected the Hawks to have substantial edges in the glass and in the paint due to the fact that Knicks have only in David Lee as their big man. Indeed they dominated the Knicks in these areas however the Knicks who were coming from a 0-18 night in 3pts last game vs. nets connected 10 of 15 behind the arc while the Hawks shot only 3-17 and that was the kiss of death.

For tonight we have 8 games to work with and likely we will have a top play in one game. I realized that lately we are having more success in totals than in side plays so I’ll be cautious in this department.

Injury report for today:

- Rockets Trevor Ariza is probable for tonight’s game against the Wizards. Kyle Lowry and David Andersen are questionable;
- Clippers Eric Gordon is questionable;
- Backup F Marreese Speights  is out for tonight, Mike Dunleavy Jr is questionable;
- Heat guard Rafer Alston was suspended and he is out indefinitely; Jermaine O’Neal and Dorell Wright are probable
- Luol Deng (flu) is questionable for tonight’s contest against the Jazz;
- Marcus Camby will play tonight against the Kings after missing the last game, the same thing can be said about Hedo Turkoglu;

NBA Monday Card

Andre Gomes is coming from a 1-1 night but he cashed easily his Double Dime Play with the Over in the Warriors/Hornets game by 51.5 points for a profitable day! For tonight Andre has found some amazing opportunities that will most likely lead him and all his clients to another huge night on the NBA. Don’t waste this opportunity of winning big with Andre on the NBA tonight, so get Andre’s NBA package for tonight now!

NBA – 509 Golden State Warriors  @ 510 New Orleans Hornets

Projected line: 220/223 points

In my opinion we have a good opportunity with the Over in this contest as we are getting more than 6 points of edge which is enough for a top play.

The Warriors will make tonight the final game of their road trip and so far (4 games) we can report two different “Warriors teams” during the trip: when rested and when playing without rest – b2b nights. The Warriors were able to score 106 and 122 points against Miami and Atlanta but only 90 points against Orlando and Charlotte. Such scoring difference is partly explained by the fact that the Warriors were playing in back to back nights in those bad shooting games and let’s not forget that we are talking about a shorthanded team that desperately needs Stephen Curry, Morrow and Watson to have good offensive nights to be competitive. The problem was that these three players logged more than 40 minutes each against Miami and against Atlanta, Curry played the ENTIRE game so the letdown was inevitable in the next day.

The Warriors are a team that needs big numbers in 3 different offensive departments: FT’s, fast break points and points in the paint. To make things even worse both the Magic and the Bobcats are two of the best teams in the league in those areas:

FTA allowed per game:
1st Charlotte  21.3
7th Orlando 22.9

Points in the paint allowed per game:
2nd Orlando 36.1
8th Charlotte 39.3

FB’s points allowed per game:
1st Orlando 11.0
11th  Charlotte 13.1

In a normal spot it would be tough for the Warriors to have good offensive numbers against these two teams. Playing in consecutive nights has complicated even more the task for them.

For tonight the Warriors had one day to rest and more important than that they will face the Hornets – by far the worst defensive team that the Warriors will face (faced) in this trip. The Hornets are in a streak of 4 games in allowing their opponents to reach the century mark in points. During the process they allowed the following shooting performances: 53.5, 49.4, 50.6, and 51.7 % from the field. Since the All Star break they are allowing 49.2 points in the paint – the worst team in the league is allowing 48.3 ppg! These bad numbers surely will be extrapolated in a run and gun game like tonight’s contest will be.

Looking for the matchups I believe that we will see a huge number of Fast Break points scored from both teams. We all know how the Warriors play but I remember that the Hornets have two lighting quick guards in Collison and Thornton and these two players will push the pace in every opportunity just to score in transition. I also expect the Hornets coach Bowen to play with a small lineup in some parts of the game with Collison, Thornton, Stojakovic, Posey and West.

According to my numbers this contest should have a totals line in the 220’s points and I’m taking the Over in here as my Double Dime Play.

Daily Message:

I can’t tell you how much I was upset about last night’s two plays with the Celtics and the Blazers. The Celtics showed an unbelievable lack of poise and desire to win that in my opinion is the key to win a championship. In other words: there are other teams that want to win it all more than the Celtics! My X factor in that game was the ability of the Celtics bigs to guard/limit Andray Blatche and in fact the Celtics did a great job in shut him down…in the last 6 minutes of the game! The Celtics ended the game with a 20-4 run in which Blatche has held scoreless during the process. Doc Rivers is already thinking in the playoffs – just look for the rotations and minutes of the starters but it won’t be enough for them. In the other game there isn’t much to say…the Blazers had some edges in FT’s attempts, offensive boards, and less turnovers. However when we see a team shooting 58.9% from the field and the other 42.7% FG the game is over.

For today I’ve already released a big play – Double Dime Totals Play and we are having great results in top plays. We have the right combination of matchups, pace of the game and referee crew and I just don’t want to wait for a possible better line because we are already getting some great value.

Injury report for today:

- Spurs guard Tony Parker is out; Lebron James and Daniel Gibson is questionable. However we can be pretty sure that James will play tonight, otherwise the Books wouldn’t release the lines for this contest
- Nets Yi Jianlian is out indefinitely;
- Tracy McGrady is out for tonight;
- Warriors Ronny Turiaf is questionable for tonight
- Haywood is questionable for tonight while Al Jefferson returns after served his suspension.

NBA Monday Card

Andre Gomes is coming from a great day card but an awful night card in the NBA yesterday and we wants to bounce back today. Andre has found some amazing opportunities that will most likely lead him and all his clients to another huge night on the NBA and he is releasing a BIG Double Dime Play. Don’t waste this opportunity of winning big with Andre on the NBA tonight, so get Andre’s NBA package for tonight now!

Projected line: 211/214 points

Hedo Turkoglu is out for this contest but this doesn’t hurt our chances, in fact it may help because he has been struggling as of late (you can consider all season btw) and the explosive Sonny Weems will start in his place.

Chris Bosh will return today and surely this will boost the Raptors offense especially in the paint and in FT’s attempts. Note that the Raptors failed to reach the century mark in points in 3 of their last 4 contests without Bosh and against a poor defensive team like the Sixers they have the opportunity to have a big game.

Update: Dalembert won’t start for disciplinary reasons and the Sixers will have a starting unit on the court that simply doesn’t play defense: Holiday, Louis, Iguodala, Young and Brand.

The Sixers offense relies in their ability to create tempo and score in transition and the Raptors are an awful defensive team in this department. Last game against the Knicks they allowed 18 fast break points and 52 points in the paint and in the last meeting against the Sixers (who were playing in b2b nights), the Raptors allowed 24 fast break points!

In the last 4 contests for only once the Sixers reached the century mark in points however just look for their opponents: Boston, Atlanta, Orlando and LA Lakers – We are talking about some of the best defensive teams in the league something that the Raptors are far from the top.

Final Note: I apologize for the late release. However we were able to get 1.5 extra points of value from the original line and this may be important for us.

Pick: 4 units (Double Dime Play) on Over 206.5 @1.91 on Bookmaker

NBA - 803 LA Lakers @ 804 Orlando Magic

In my opinion we have some value with the Magic and the Under in here as the public fell in love with the bounce back spot for the Lakers – who never lost 3 consecutive games since Pau Gasol has arrived.

Yes, the Lakers have lost consecutive games and they are fired up to bounce back today. However this doesn’t change that much because the Magic will be also fired up to get done some revenge of the finals last season. I remember that not long time ago the Cavaliers faced the Magic with a similar spot – having lost consecutive games and still this wasn’t enough as the Magic rolled over them. The Lakers are struggling in consistency and in some defensive aspects like the perimeter defense.

Meanwhile Orlando is playing their best basketball of the season. Dwight Howard is getting more touches down low and the Magic are now a more “equilibrated team” on the offensive end. The X factor for this contest is related with Jameer Nelson. Nelson recently said that he is finally playing without any kind of pain and the recent numbers are supporting what is mouth is saying. Nelson was the biggest reason of why the Magic swept the Lakers last season during the regular season and at the same time the biggest reason of why the Lakers beat the Magic 4-1 in the finals (I remember that he played in the finals but he wasn’t the “same player”). The Magic have a clear matchup advantage in the PG position and I expect them to take advantage of it down the stretch.

The Lakers performed poorly on the defensive end in the 2 losses and they will be focused in this department:

“We’re just working with some principles that right now have escaped us as far as what we consider good defense,” said Jackson. “We’re working with those principles, and (Bryant) interjected and brought up a notion of determination.”

This has been a slow paced series between two of the best interior defensive teams in the league and according to my numbers we should have dealing with a line of 192/194 points.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Under 197 @1.91 on Bookmaker

NBA - 807 Washington Wizards @ 808 Boston Celtics

In my opinion we have some value with the Celtics in here as I expect them to be fired up and they won’t have any kind of problem to blowout the Wizards.

Obviously, the first question in here is to find out if the Celtics have the motivation in their side. For several times we’ve watched a disinterested team on the court against inferior teams so what will happen tonight? I believe that the Celtics won’t take lightly this contest for 2 big factors: 1) they have lost against the Nets at home last Sunday and surely they don’t want to be embarrassed once again and 2) being this is a national Tv game – ESPN game, this is a good opportunity for a statement game and these two correlated factors are strong factors to bring the best Celtics to the court tonight.

After making major trades, the Wizards had nice results with some nice upset wins. However they took advantage from the fact that their opponents constantly underestimated them and with so many new players on the roster their opponents didn’t know how the Wizards would play. Unfortunately for them, they already know how to stop the Wizards and this starts with stopping Andray Blatche down low. Blatche had some amazing numbers in the first games but for example against the Bucks he was held bellow the 20’s points mark. The Celtics have a great interior defense and I expect Blatche to be shut down with some ease.

The Wizards showed tremendous offensive problems against a good defensive team like the Bucks and this won’t change tonight against the Celtics. My projected line in this contest is the Celtics by 14/17 points.

NBA - 811 Portland Trail Blazers @ 812 Denver Nuggets

I believe that the Blazers will be a tough matchup for the Nuggets and according to my numbers they should be the underdogs but just by 3/4 points.

During this season, the Nuggets are killing any top team in home especially those teams are playing in consecutive nights. This is not the case of the Blazers, in fact the Blazers are enjoying a rare 3-day off to rest and prepare this game and I expect them to be focused tonight.

Naturally that the Nuggets have Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups and these players are lethal however Kenyon Martin is out for tonight and Chris Andersen is banged up with his knees so the Nuggets are shorthanded on the front. Without K. Martin, the Nuggets already have lost some unexpected games and George Karl considered him as his defensive QB.

Carmelo Anthony had some big games against the Blazers this season but for tonight he will face Nicolas Batum and Batum is clearly the Blazers’ best perimeter defender (note: he didn’t play in the previous contests).

In my opinion this will be a tight game and I’m taking the Blazers tonight as a Single Dime Play.
