Monday's recap: 3-0, +23
Posted YTD: 26-30-1, -28.9
CAVS +9 (5*) -- Toooo many points. I look for a strong effort
out of the Cavs tonight. They may possibly pull the upset, but having nine points just in case is awfully sweet.
LAKERS -3.5 (4*) -- The Jazz are a much better team now than when the Lakers last played them. Their young players have stepped up and now the Jazz have a good mix of veterans and youth. However, they have not fared so well against the Western Conference elite. I think Kobe comes out tonight fired up and the Lakers celebrate Shaq's 30th and get the W. I'll take the chance they win by at least four.
NETS -1.5 (4*) -- Kidd vs. Marbury? Who benefitted the most from this trade? Duh..., I would take Kidd over Marbury any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Marbury is going to try and keep the Suns from setting tonight. Nets get their good road game back in order tonight.
BLAZERS -5.5 (3*) -- I am going to ride the Blazers. T'wolves on a back to back versus a confident and rested Blazers. 5.5 is a little more than I would like to give up. That is why only a 3*.
CLIPPERS +5 (3*) -- Clipps have won their last three and are almost healthy again. The Bucks have been terribly inconsistent, losing to the Knicks last night. I'll take the more rested team playing winning basketball.
