Grabbing three games for tomorrow's slate... 0.5 units per side play, 2 units per total.

Minnesota (-4) at Philadelphia - Philly has been awful as of late. T-Wolves want a win after getting beaten soundly by Dallas Tuesday night. Minnesota gets Sprewell back and not giving up very many points to a team they are clearly better than.

Toronto/Detroit Under 187.0 - Both teams tend towards the under when they are on the road/home, respectively. Detroit's PPG (both offense and defense) have steadily been coming down as their defense has started to improve. Detroit 8-2 Under in their last 10 games.

Seattle(+10) at San Antonio - Two teams with very similar records. Nobody believes in Seattle despite their record. Ten points is simply too many for a team with Seattle's record, no matter how hot the Spurs have been, winning eight in a row. Seattle destroyed Spurs in their first meeting, I see no reason they cant keep it close in this one.

BOL to everyone!

Adding in 4 more for tonight.. BOL to everyone!! :thumbs:

Minnesota/Philly Under 197.0 - Philly has this reputation as a scoring team based on their early season scoring, but simply hasnt gotten it done on the offensive end lately. Dont see the Sixers scoring more than about 90 tonight, leaving Minnesota to score 107, which is well above their average.

Cleveland/Chicago Under 185.5 - Cleveland doesnt shoot very well on the road, Chicago doesnt shoot well anywhere! See about a 90-80 game here.

Phoenix/LA Lakers Under 209.0 - I only go under on Phoenix if I'm sure about something. And this I'm pretty sure about. Lakers are becoming one of the better defensive teams in the league, allowing only 91 PPG at home. Thinking more of a 100-95 score tonight.

Denver at Washington (-3.5) - Denver cant score on the road, Anthony, Camby and Boykins all dinged up. Washington puts up points at will at home and should run the Nuggets into the ground here.

Hmmm 3-0 on the picks I made last night.. 0-4 on the picks I made this morning.. Maybe thats an omen..

Lost on Washington (as did a number of us), straight up made a bad call there. Wasn't expecting 119 out of Minnesota (2 off season high), 113 out of Chicago (7 points over their previous season high), or a 76 point quarter in the Phoenix/Lakers game (must be near a season high in the "L" for the season). I consider all of those things among the "outliers" that I talked about in a thread earlier today that simply can not be predicted.

Breakdown: 3-4 day, down -4.15 units for the day. Still up 5.6 units for the week though, law of averages caught up today unfortunately.

BOL to everyone tomorrow!!
