Hawks @ Bulls - Just finished looking this game over a few times and locked in my play. Both teams coming off brutal losses and Hawks have been playing like crap the past couple weeks. Having Horford out really hurts this team's physical toughness more than anything. I guess Rose is likely back, but keep in mind, the Hawks were eliminated by the Bulls in the playoffs last year and have played Chicago very tough this season. I'm predicting more of the same today. Hamilton is still out and Deng is banged up. Rose still isn't 100%, so I'll gladly take double digits.

Hawks +10 for 5*

Probably add more later.

Blazers @ Lakers - Lakers are 3-7 ATS in back-to-back situations this season plus traveling won't help. Blazers are 13-4 ATS when they have one day rest like they're having after crushing the Hawks 97-77 on Saturday. I also notice how Kobe called out management regarding the Gasol trade and have to question how focused his team will be tonight. Lakers have beaten Blazers 16 of last 19 at home, but Portland has now covered the past 3 games in this series and I think we'll see a tight game tonight where grabbing 4 points could make sense. Hoping Aldridge can dominate tonight!

Blazers +4 for 5*

Boston @ Dallas - Going to play this game now since Celtics missing 3 of top 5 scorers. Celtics also have yet to cover a back-to-back road game this season.

Dallas -8 for 5.5*

Well F*CK YOU HAWKS! If I had waited 10 minutes, I could have bought to +11 as well for a push. Damnit!

Atlanta!

Knicks -9 for 2.5* - Nets are just terrible and Lopez is apparently out. Thinking New York makes a statement and wins by 15+. Hopefully Baron "I'm Fat" Davis and Carmelo "the ball hog" Anthony don't screw up chemistry. Love the way JR Smith looked yesterday!

Warriors +3 (-120) for 2.5* - Clippers traditionally stink at Golden State. Thinking Warriors can win this game, but will grab the points.

Blazers 2nd half -3.5 for 2.5* - Hoping LA lets up and obviously hoping Portland doesn't give up another 35-4 run... unreal! Still 52-30 at half, could have been worse.
