NBA Basketball:
Milwaukee Bucks @ Boston Celtics -12
The Celtics are cruising...they've won 7 in a row and have already opened up an 8-game lead on the Raptors in the Atlantic. Milwaukee comes into town tonight having lost 3 in a row, most recently to Cleveland, 101-86. Rookie Brandon Jennings has provided the excitement for them, averaging over 21 points and 6 assists a game, but the Celtics D will be too much tonight. The Bucks will have a tough time scoring and the Celts will win in a blowout. Celtics -12
NBA Basketball:
Chicago Bulls @ Cleveland Cavaliers -12
After a tough start, the Cavs are finally looking like the team who, before they ran into the machine called Dwight Howard in last year's playoffs, was a game away from playing in their 2nd NBA Championship in 3 years. The Cavs are 7-2 at home, while the Bulls are 2-8 on the road. Guess who one of those home losses was to? You got it, Nov. 5 againt the Bulls (86-85). The Bulls have lost 5 of their last 6 with all 5 losses coming on the road. The Cavs have won their last 2 handily, beating the Suns and Mavericks by 17 and 16 points respectively. Expect Lebron & Co. to go off and avenge that earlier loss to the Bulls with a blowout win tonight. Cavs -12
NBA Basketball:
Boston Celtics +2 @ San Antonio Spurs
Great matchups tonight...Garnett vs. Duncan...Pierce vs. Jefferson...Rondo vs. Parker...Allen vs. Ginobli...but's who's going to D up Eva Longoria? We all know why she sits courtside every game...she's the X-factor. However, tonight it's not going to work. The Celts have won three in a row at the AT&T Center and the triple threat from Boston (now a quadruple with Rondo) will take care of business again in what is expected to be a marquee matchup on TNT. Tune in to see a big road win by the Celtics and a few shots of Eva...you know they can't resist. Celtics +2
NBA Basketball:
Dallas Mavericks -7 @ New Jersey Nets
We all know this is the biggest sucker bet in the world - going against the 0 and whatever team at home with a small spread, but we're going to take it anyway. A new coach is definitely not the solution in NJ...they need a full makeover. That's why Dallas should have an easy time tonight, especially only giving 7. And how could you ever go against the guy in this photo? Mavs -7
NBA Basketball:
Phoenix Suns -7 @ New York Knicks
Gone are the good old days of Patrick Ewing and John Starks leading the Knicks in the playoffs during the Michael Jordan dominated years. Gone are the days that people were actually interested in a Spike Lee-Reggie Miller courtside feud loaded with good old trash-talking. Now the loyal Knick fans get to think about their wonderful ex-GM Isaiah Thomas and the press coverage he provided for them that they didn't want and how that, along with many other bad moves, got them to today. Tonight, they get to host one of the best teams in the NBA, the Phoenix Suns at 14-3, all while they try to figure out how to get their 4th win of the season. Don't expect that to happen soon, especially tonight. Look for the Suns to roll over the Knicks at MSG. Suns -7
NBA Basketball:
Boston Celtics -4 @ Charlotte Bobcats
If you want to have some real fun, couple that Suns pick with the Celtics tonight. After a non-typical start, the Celts have turned it on as of late. Tonight they are in Charlotte, who has won 4 in a row after losing 7 in a row. The first time these two teams met was the Bobcats' first game of the season and the Celts won handily, 92-59. Look for a similar result tonight. Celtics -4
NBA Basketball:
Portland Trail Blazers @ Utah Jazz -6
Look for the Jazz to take care of the tired Trail Blazers after a tough Portland loss at Memphis last night. Utah has been a disappointing .500 team this year, while Portland has shown how a few years of great drafts can pay off with a solid 12-6 start so far. However, the energy levels will be much higher with Utah well rested and at home. Utah -6
