Pacers -4' Looking for a strong outing out of the Pacers tonight.
Ifeel they got rid of a couple of me first players in Rose and Best and will become more of a team.Miller (Brad) will give them a little more inside punch witch they needed badly and Artest will definatley play better "D" than the defenseless Rose.Pacers have had a couple of days off to work the new players in to the mix so they should be ready.Cleveland aa woeful 6-20 on the road and had to play the Lakers last night a game I'm sure they got up for more than this one even though they lost.Pacers 16-11 at home and need to make a run for playoff berth. Just feel this is a good spot for them.Seems like teams with new blood come out a little more fired up in their next game. Good Luck

Pacers to cover

Pacers to cover

I'm with you on this one. Some quotes from last nights Cavs game caught my attention. Last nite the Cavs expended a lot of energy trying to whip the Lakers.

Coach Lucas said his team played "very very hard" last night. Andre Miller said "We burned our energy coming back and had nothing left"
Shaq said the Cavs were playing "desperate ball"

now they have to go on the road with no rest. I think they left their guts on the court last night. Did the Cavs burn themselves out trying to beat a high profile team in front of the home fans? I'm thinking they did.

this looks like the strongest play of the day. The Pacers are fairly tough to beat at home. Indy will play with a lot of energy after the big trade. Betting Indy in the second half when fatigue sets in may be even better.

stats:
Cleveland is 6-20 on the road.
INDIANA is 8-1 against CLEVELAND at home.

Hey Boiler my friend one of my favorite plays is to play against a team that lost a close one at home then has to travel and play the next night the only thing that bothers me is that Reggie Miller is out via a suspension. Normally I would be all over this game but that has me thinking twice about it! I wish you the best of luck and will be rooting my ass off for you!

RobertBIrish, In Cavs and Pacers last meeting Dec. 22 at Cleve. Miller had 18 , Rose had 11 and Best 4 . I think B.Miller and Artest can compensate this output. Pacers won that game 109-103.Cavs have also given up 100 or more in 4 straight and 7 of their last 8 games .

Above thread is why I am on Lakers tonite

The fact that Cleveland has at least been playing inspired ball (leaving it all out on the floor and all) just reinforces my play on Lakers against Charlotte.
I just don't think Hornets play with all that much heart day in and day out, especially at home.

Lakers had to integrate Shaq into the game yesterday, tonite I think the ball gets distributed better and Kobe hopefully plays with more restraint....

Lakers win by 8-12pts

I also Like Detroit -4 over the Carterless Raptors.... Detroit has to see this as a winnable game and won't let them stay in too long.
Milwaukee just woke up? and they are tied....
Detroit must win all winnable games.

Detroit by 7-10pts
