Not "new" to the site, but haven't posted in quite a while. I'll have some picks now and then but am not here with a "look at me" approach. Just looking to share/exchange some info and hit some winners.

Quick look at what we got today... no plays yet, will post plays later

Bulls (-2) at Bobcats (Total 187); not much really stands out in this game at all. The under has dropped 2.5 points, so could be worth watching.

Hornets (-6) at Grizzlies (Total 192); Hornets opened at -4.5 and already up to -6 (-6.5 in some places) not much respect for the Grizzlies who are playing well. They have won 4 straight (and 4 straight ATS) also 7-5 ATS at home this year. Might have a play on Memphis posted later.

Clippers (-4.5) at Thunder (Total 198); i'm not gunna beat around the bush, no one cares about this game... would never put any money on this garbage

Nuggets (+3) at Rockets (Total 200); Denver is red hot, they have won 4 straight, are 15-8 this year ATS, and 8-4 ATS on the road. However they played last night and Houston has had the last 2 days off just waiting for them. Rockets also coming off an embarassing loss to the Clippers. Possible play on Houston coming later.

Kings (+12.5) at Blazers (Total 200); main thing that stands out here is Portland has lost 7 straight ATS. They have to cover a game eventually don't they? On the surface this spread might seem way too big, which could be exactly what vegas wants you to think. Lean to Portland here if anything.

Knicks (+13) at Lakers (Total 224); 2 interesting ATS streaks here. The Knicks are 6-0 in the last 6 ATS, and on the flip side the Lakers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6. Knicks on the last stop of a long west coast road trip. This might be the night they get stomped. However the Lakers have been playing down to their level of competition lately. Don't know if they care enough about a Tuesday night home game against the Knicks to cover that large number. Still don't know what to make of this game.

*Won't get a write up like this everyday, i've just got a little time today* hope you guys find this helpful... feel free to add any thoughts. I'll have some plays posted later.

ready to post play #1 for the day...

Memphis (+7) betting 1.1 units to win 1 unit;

Spread has now moved 2.5 points from the open and it's looking more and more likely that Tyson Chandler won't play tonight. I already like how the Grizz match up in the open floor with Mayo and Gay, and now with Chandler out Darko may even become a factor tonight too.

Season: 0-0 (0 Units)

adding Play #2 for today

Houston (-3) betting 1.1 units to win 1 unit;

Like the Rockets in this spot going back home with a few days of rest and looking to avenge a bad loss to the Clippers. Nugz on back end of b2b and don't have any answer for Yao or T-Mac. Rockets win this one by double digits...

considering portland and lakers but not ready to make them plays yet. So far just the 2 posted

Season: 0-0 (0 Units)

my first play is in the books as a push... some questionable last minute play by Memphis in particular O.J. Mayo, cost me a sure cover and turn it into a push. Oh well, that's how it goes...

Todays Record = 0-0-1 (0 Units)

what i've got my eye on for today...

76ers (-3.5) vs Bucks; everything points to the Bucks here, which is why i'll probably be on Philly. Milwaukee is unreal ATS this year (17-8 overall, 10-5 on the road, and 5-2 in their last 7) and clearly betters have noticed again tonight with this line moving from -4.5 to -3.5 for the 76ers. Philly is only 3-7 ATS in their last 10 which is why I feel they are getting good value here. If Milwaukee and Philly were both about .500 ATS I feel the spread in this game would be about 6.5 or 7. Look for a Philly play posted later..

Bulls (-3) vs Clippers; some serious line movement in this one. Line opened at -5.5 and has been nearly cut in half. Clippers have won 3 straight games (straight up) and 3 straight ATS, and are also 8-2 ATS in the last 10. Are people drinking the Kool-Aid with this team? On the flip side the Bulls are only 1-6 ATS in their last 7 and had a tough OT loss last night in Charlotte. Look for things to even out tonight... Bulls are gunna take this one. I'll have an official play later i'm sure...

have my eye on Minnesota as a possible play too, but other then those 3 nothing on the board interests me. Back later
