Washington Bullets at Utah Jazz
Line: Jazz by 10.5.
I think the Jazz whack the Bullets tonight. Washington put a lot into their recent loss to Orlando. I don't think they'll be able to get up for Utah.
NBA Pick: Jazz -10.5 (2 Units)
Philadelphia 76ers at Miami Heat
Line: Heat by 6.5.
The craptastic 76ers tried hard to beat the Cavaliers. They nearly did, but blew it in the fourth quarter. I don't think they'll get up for Miami.
NBA Pick: Heat -6.5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Toronto Raptors at Golden State Warriors
Line: Raptors by 2.
The Warriors are coming off a very tough loss against Portland in which they blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. I don't see them getting up for Toronto.

Houston Rockets at Washington Bullets
Line: Rockets by 4.
I guess I'm in love with the Rockets (even after they blew an 8-point lead in the fourth quarter to Detroit), but I'm taking them here again. Washington just suffered a very emotional defeat to the Celtics, and I can't see them getting up for Houston.
NBA Pick: Rockets -4 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Philadelphia 76ers at Indiana Pacers
Line: Pick.
The stupid Sixers actually think that winning these meaningless games is going to accomplish something. Idiots. Instead of doing the right thing and tanking for John Wall, they're going to miss out on yet another blue-chip prospect, ensuring another five years of mediocrity and empty seats. Nice job. I think Philly will win this contest because the Pacers just had an emotional loss at Phoenix.
NBA Pick: 76ers PK (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Golden State Warriors at New Orleans Hornets

The Hornets had a tough loss a few nights ago at San Antonio. I don't think they'll be ready to take on the Warriors.

NBA Pick: Bullets +10 (3 Units) -- Incorrect; -$330
Golden State Warriors at Miami Heat
Line: Heat by 10.5.
The Heat battled the Magic tough for more than a half on Sunday, but Orlando eventually pulled away. I don't think Miami can get up for the Warriors.
NBA Pick: Warriors +10.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns

NBA Pick: Suns -2.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200

NBA Pick: Bucks +8.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Toronto Raptors at Oklahoma City Thunder
Line: Thunder by 7.5.

NBA Pick: Thunder -7.5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Detroit Pistons at Golden State Warriors
Line: Warriors by 4.

The Knicks are coming off a tough loss to the Celtics, so getting up for this Washington team will be pretty difficult.
NBA Pick: Bullets -2 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Charlotte Bobcats at Memphis Grizzlies
Line: Grizzlies by 3.
The Bobcats had a big lead over the Jazz a couple of days ago, but blew the lead. It's going to be tough for them to get up for Memphis.
NBA Pick: Grizzlies -3 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Memphis Grizzlies at Washington Bullets
Line: Grizzlies by 1.
The Grizzlies led throughout the Lakers game last night, but lost a heart-breaker on a Kobe Bryant last-second shot. I really don't know how they get up for this crappy Bullets team.
NBA Pick: Bullets +1 (3 Units) -- Incorrect; -$330
New Orleans Hornets at Milwaukee Bucks

NBA Pick: Warriors +4.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Sacramento Kings at Los Angeles Clippers
Line: Pick.
The Clippers played a tough game against the Hawks on Wednesday. They lost by 18, but it was a 6-point contest going into the fourth quarter. I don't think they get up for the Kings.
NBA Pick: Kings PK (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Minnesota Timberwolves at Washington Bullets
Line: Bullets by 5.

NBA Pick: Timberwolves +5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
San Antonio Spurs at Denver Nuggets
Line: Nuggets by 5.5.
The Spurs just played a really tough game against the Lakers. It was close until the fourth quarter until Los Angeles pulled away. I can't see San Antonio matching that intensity here.
NBA Pick: Nuggets -5.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Milwaukee Bucks at New Jersey Nets
Line: Bucks by 5.
The Nets played really well against the Cavs last night. They put so much energy into that game and nearly won. However, they came up short, so I don't know how they're going to muster that same energy against the lowly Bucks.
NBA Pick: Bucks -5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Oklahoma City Thunder at Portland Blazers
Line: Thunder by 1.5.
The Blazers really got up for Saturday's Lakers game. They kept things close for a while, but eventually lost by 17. I don't see them being fired up to play the Thunder.
NBA Pick: Thunder -1.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
New Orleans Hornets at Charlotte Bobcats
Line: Bobcats by 9.
If you're wondering, this line is high because Chris Paul is out. But I still like the Hornets - Charlotte is coming off an emotional loss against the Lakers and won't be able to match that intensity here.
NBA Pick: Hornets +9 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Miami Heat at Chicago Bulls
Line: Bulls by 1.5.
The Heat just had a tough loss at Cleveland on national TV. Getting up for the Bulls will be a challenge.

NBA Pick: Rockets +5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Detroit Pistons at New Jersey Nets
Line: Pistons by 2.5.
The Nets are playing well right now (shockingly) and I actually like them here. The Pistons are coming off an emotional loss to the Magic, and they probably shouldn't be favored on the road anyway.
NBA Pick: Nets +2.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Philadelphia 76ers at New Jersey Nets
Line: 76ers by 6.
I can't believe I'm taking the Nets here, but they've been playing better lately. The 76ers, meanwhile, just had an emotional loss to the Lakers.
NBA Pick: Nets +6 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
New Orleans Hornets at Memphis Grizzlies
Line: Grizzlies by 7.

NBA Pick: Hornets +7 (1 Unit) -- Correct; +$100
Boston Celtics at Atlanta Hawks
Line: Hawks by 4.

NBA Pick: Hawks -4 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Philadelphia 76ers at Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks suffered an emotional last-second loss to Dallas. I can't see them getting up for the Suxers.

NBA Pick: Kings -6.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Dallas Mavericks at New York Knicks
Line: Mavericks by 3.5.
The Knicks put a ton of energy into the Lakers game. It was tied at the half, but they just couldn't keep up. Matching that same intensity here will be very difficult.
NBA Pick: Mavericks -3.5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Minnesota Timberwolves at Milwaukee Bucks
Line: Bucks by 7.5.
The Timberwolves are coming off back-to-back heartbreaking losses. I don't think they'll get up for this garbage Milwaukee team.
NBA Pick: Bucks -7.5 (1 Unit) -- Correct; +$100
Oklahoma City Thunder at Memphis Grizzlies
Line: Grizzlies by 3.5.

NBA Pick: Thunder +3.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks

NBA Pick: Knicks +5.5 (3 Units) -- Incorrect; -$330
Los Angeles Lakers at Cleveland Cavaliers
Line: Cavaliers by 3.
A month ago, the Cavs went into the Staples Center and debacled the Lakers. Now, it's the Lakers' turn to get revenge. They're the hotter team anyway.
NBA Pick: Lakers +3 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic
Line: Magic by 11.5.
The Magic are coming off an emotional loss at the Lakers. Two days later, they're back home hosting this crappy Pacers team. I can't see them getting up for this game.
NBA Pick: Pacers +11.5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Memphis Grizzlies at New Orleans Hornets
Line: Hornets by 3.5.
The Hornets had a big home game against the Spurs recently and just came up a bit short. I don't think they get up for the hot Grizzlies.
NBA Pick: Grizzlies +3.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Toronto Raptors at Milwaukee Bucks
Line: Bucks by 2.5.
The Raptors came close to knocking off the Cavs yesterday. I can't see them getting up for the Bucks today.
NBA Pick: Bucks -2.5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
New Jersey Nets at Los Angeles Clippers
Line: Clippers by 8.
No line here, but I imagine that the Clippers will be a healthy favorite. I like the Nets. The Clips put everything into Saturday's Cavs game and lost on the final shot. I can't see them getting up for the Nets.
NBA Pick: Nets +8 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Miami Heat at Oklahoma City Thunder
Line: Thunder by 3.5.
The Thunder are coming off two huge emotional losses against the Spurs and Mavericks. Do they get up for a mediocre Miami team? Doubtful.
NBA Pick: Heat +3.5 (3 Units) -- Incorrect; -$330
Minnesota Timberwolves at Memphis Grizzlies
Line: Grizzlies by 7.5.
I'm not a big fan of laying more than a touchdown with a mediocre team, but that's what I'm doing here. The Timberwolves are coming off a string of emotional losses, and I don't think they'll be able to get up for Memphis.
NBA Pick: Grizzlies -7.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Milwaukee Bucks at Portland Blazers
Line: Blazers by 6.
The Bucks just suffered an emotional loss at Phoenix. I don't think they'll be as geared up to play the Blazers after that defeat.
NBA Pick: Blazers -6 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Miami Heat at Golden State Warriors
Line: Warriors by 2.5.
Speaking of emotional losses, the Warriors battled the Cavs down to the wire and came up short. I don't see how they get up for mediocre Miami.
NBA Pick: Heat +2.5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Toronto Raptors at Indiana Pacers
Line: Pacers by 2.
The Raptors just battled the Celtics tough at home, but lost by six. I don't see how they're getting up for the crappy Pacers.
NBA Pick: Pacers -2 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
New York Knicks at Oklahoma City Thunder
Line: Thunder by 5.
Great job, Knicks. Way to lead the Rockets by 14 and fail to cover as 6-point dogs. Losers.
New York put a lot of energy into that contest, so blowing a huge lead like that will probably cause them to be flat here.
NBA Pick: Thunder -5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
New York Knicks at Houston Rockets
Line: Rockets by 6.
I have no idea how the Warriors covered last night, but I'll take it. The Rockets are coming off a string of emotional losses. I don't think they'll be able to get up for the lowly (but hot) Knicks.
NBA Pick: Knicks +6 (3 Units) -- Incorrect; -$330
Sacramento Kings at Golden State Warriors
Line: Warriors by 4.5.
The Kings have just suffered a string of heart-breaking losses to tough opponents. I think they'll be flat for this game.
NBA Pick: Warriors -4.5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300

This is a tough spot for the Warriors, who just suffered an emotional loss to the Nuggets. I don't see them getting up for this game.
NBA Pick: Timberwolves -2.5 (3 Units) -- Incorrect; -$330
Detroit Pistons at San Antonio Spurs

It looks like the Pistons have finally woken up and are ready to give a good effort for a change. I think they cover the high number here.
NBA Pick: Pistons +10 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Oklahoma City Thunder at Chicago Bulls
Line: Bulls by 2.5.
I like the way the Bulls are playing right now. They just had a big win over Orlando and should be able to parlay that into another victory here.
NBA Pick: Bulls -2.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Memphis Grizzlies at Phoenix Suns
Line: Suns by 8.
I love the way this Suns team is playing right now; beating the Lakers and Celtics in consecutive games was impressive. I think they blast the Grizzlies here.
NBA Pick: Suns -8 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
New York Knicks at Atlanta Hawks
Line: Hawks by 11.5.
This is a really tough spot for the Hawks coming off two emotional losses against the Cavs. I don't see why they'd get up for this game.
NBA Pick: Knicks +11.5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Philadelphia 76ers at Los Angeles Clippers
Line: Clippers by 1.
The Clippers just had a tough loss at Portland. I think it'll be tough for them to muster enough energy to beat the crappy Sixers.
NBA Pick: 76ers +1 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Los Angeles Clippers at Portland Blazers

The Clippers just beat the Celtics, and I think they're going to use that momentum to beat Portland outright here.
NBA Pick: Clippers +7 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
New York Knicks at Detroit Pistons

The Knicks are coming off of two emotional losses. I think they get whacked here by the Pistons.
NBA Pick: Pistons -5 (3 Units) -- Incorrect; -$330
Washington Bullets at Memphis Grizzlies

NBA Pick: Bullets +5.5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat
Line: Pacers by 7.5.
Call me a glutton for punishment, but I like the Pacers again. They just ran into a hot-shooting Atlanta team last night.
NBA Pick: Pacers +7.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Atlanta Hawks at Indiana Pacers
Line: Hawks by 6.5.
I like the way the Pacers are playing right now. They're showing some grit and toughness. The Hawks, meanwhile, could be starting to fall off.
NBA Pick: Pacers +6.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Miami Heat at New York Knicks
Line: Knicks by 2.
Merry Christmas! Hopefully Santa can give me another win this week. I like the Knicks here; this is a big game for them on national TV. It's their chance to prove that they are for real.
NBA Pick: Knicks -2 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Utah Jazz at Miami Heat

I love the way Oklahoma City is playing right now. I think they have a good shot of winning this game.
NBA Pick: Thunder +9 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Lakers
Line: Lakers by 10.
This is a big game for the Thunder to establish themselves among the NBA's upper echelon. The Lakers, meanwhile, could be a bit sluggish coming off their East Coast trip.
NBA Pick: Thunder +10 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Milwaukee Bucks at Indiana Pacers

Love the Bucks in this spot. The Pacers are coming off an emotional loss and shouldn't be favored.
NBA Pick: Bucks +1 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Minnesota Timberwolves at Boston Celtics

The Celtics are coming off a loss for the fifth time this year. The first four times, they failed to cover afterward.
NBA Pick: Timberwolves +14 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Atlanta Hawks at Chicago Bulls
Line: Hawks by 4.5.
I love the way the Hawks are playing right now. I say their winning streak continues tonight.
NBA Pick: Hawks -4.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Sacramento Kings at Milwaukee Bucks
Line: Bucks by 6.
Two reasons I like the Kings: First, Milwaukee's coming off an emotional loss to the Cavs. And second, I don't think a team deserves to be favored by six if it's just 2-6 this month.
NBA Pick: Bucks -6 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
New Jersey Nets at Toronto Raptors
Line: Raptors by 8.
Maybe I shouldn't have been complaining about pushes. The Raptors have lost four of five, so I think it's kind of crazy to ask them to cover eight points.
NBA Pick: Nets +8 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Indiana Pacers at Memphis Grizzlies
Line: Grizzlies by 6.
The Grizzlies have dropped three of four, and are not a very good team to begin with. I'll take the points here.
NBA Pick: Pacers +6 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
New York Knicks at Chicago Bulls
Line: Bulls by 3.
Two pushes in a row? What's going on here?
The Bulls have lost six of seven, so I'll take the points.
NBA Pick: Knicks +3 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
Washington Bullets at Sacramento Kings
Line: Kings by 3.
Ugh, stupid push. The Kings had the lead in the second half yesterday, but ended up pushing. The Kings have now dropped five of six, so I'm taking the points.
NBA Pick: Bullets +3 (2 Units) -- Push; $0
Sacramento Kings at Portland Blazers
Line: Blazers by 7.
The Blazers have dropped six of eight and aren't playing well at all right now.
NBA Pick: Kings +7 (2 Units) -- Push; $0
Golden State Warriors at Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers haven't won since Nov. 18. How in the world are they favored by five?
NBA Pick: Warriors +5 (3 Units) -- Incorrect; -$330
Indiana Pacers at Washington Bullets
Line: Bullets by 7.
There's nothing like betting an underdog and having them not cover in overtime. At least the Warriors-Bulls game pushed. At any rate, this spread is way too high for the losing Bullets.
NBA Pick: Pacers +7 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Minnesota Timberwolves at Sacramento Kings
Line: Kings by 7.5.
Another line that is five points higher than it should be.
NBA Pick: Timberwolves +7.5 (3 Units) -- Incorrect; -$330

The Pacers stink and have lost a billion games in a row. I don't see why they're laying points.
NBA Pick: Nets +3.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220

The Bulls are also enduring a long losing streak. This spread is way too high.
NBA Pick: Warriors +5 (2 Units) -- Push; $0
Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers
Line: 76ers by 2.
The Suxers have lost a billion games in a row, but now they're expected to cover as favorites? I don't buy it.
NBA Pick: Pistons +2 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Toronto Raptors at Milwaukee Bucks
Line: Bucks by 3.5.
Like the Suxers, the Milwaukee Sucks are on a long losing streak, so favoring them is a big mistake.
NBA Pick: Raptors +3.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220
New Jersey Nets at Chicago Bulls
Line: Bulls by 6.5.
I know the Nets are terrible, but the Bulls haven't been much more impressive lately. They're getting blown out left and right. I don't think they deserve to be laying almost a touchdown.
NBA Pick: Nets +6.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Houston Rockets at Portland Blazers
Line: Blazers by 4.5.
I'm getting this up at 8:40. I forgot to do this earlier; I liked the 76ers over the Bobcats. I also like Houston here; the Blazers are on a losing streak and don't have the best history against the Rockets.
NBA Pick: Rockets +4.5 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200
Minnesota Timberwolves at New Orleans Hornets
Line: Hornets by 9.
This line is a bit too high; the Hornets, who aren't very good, are on a losing streak. I don't think they cover.
NBA Pick: Timberwolves +9 (2 Units) -- Push; $0
Detroit Pistons at Chicago Bulls
Line: Bulls by 7.5.
The Bulls are on a long losing streak and are being asked to cover 7.5? I don't agree with this spread.
NBA Pick: Pistons +7.5 (3 Units) -- Correct; +$300
Washington Bullets at Toronto Raptors
Line: Raptors by 7.
This spread is pretty ridiculous. I don't think the Raptors deserve to be -7 over anyone. That's just way too high.
