No reason to jump of the train here. Had a long write-up, but no need to waste anyone's time with details.

As long as you're looking for writeups, here's mine on the game... originally posted at SharpSportsBetting....First time to post here although a long-time lurker....
DALLAS MAVERICKS -7 OVER SEATTLE SUPERSONICS
Finally, NBA basketball comes to the National Basketball Association. Or, in the case of the Mavs, the International Basketball Associaton, as their starting lineup tonight represents players from the U.S., Canada, Germany, Mexico, and whatever planet Shawn Bradley is from.
Is this the night the winning streak comes to an end? Can the Mavs cover 7 while Gary Payton and his Sonics play their little hearts out to be the team that ends it?
Let's see: The trend favors the Mavs. The Mavs have the stronger inside offensive game. The Mavs have the better outside offensive game. The Mavs have the better defense. The Mavs, by far, have the better bench even without LaFrentz or Van Exel. The Mavs have the home court advantage with a sell-out crowd. The Mavs speak more languages.
These high profile games never seem to live up to the hype...Kinda like all the one-sided Superbowls. I think the Mavs will probably have their streak ended on the road to some spare team they don't take seriously enough. They should be pumped tonight and cover easily. Trying to bet against this momentum because a team is "due" for a loss is like trying to sell short a stock because "it can't go up much more." Disaster.
Anything can happen, as we saw last night with Denver-LAC, but for moi, I gotta go with my beloved Mavericks.

I only wanna encourage people to post reasons as there may be some reasoning I may have missed.
I did miss the Canadian content.

Here's another game I like tonight..The writeup was originally posted at 4 something this morning at Sharp, so the line was a little better then.
UTAH JAZZ -8.5 OVER CHICAGO BULLS
Saturday night at the Delta Center. What better place for a man to take his wives in Salt Lake City? Big-time spread here but the Jazz are playing better than expected, and with two days off, a quick shot with the defibulator paddles before the game should get old-timers Stockton and Malone going.
Chicago is playing number four in five nights, and in the rarified Rocky Mountain air. By the fourth quarter, I'm gambling they'll be thinking more about the three days off they have after this game than they will covering the spread.
Besides, it's Square Saturday. I have to take the favorite.
(I also like Indy, NO, Minny, and Phoenix tonight.)
