any other plays?
I like N.O. ML and spread. Jazz -7, I like the Knicks at home -6.5 but you might want to stay away from that. I'm a die hard Knicks fan so my judgment might be swayed sometimes but the Knicks are coming off a Loss to Toronto, they're at home where they thrive off the crowd and Pacers are without Dunleavy & Granger.
 

Some people, were born to win.

Friendly words of advice: Nothing is a lock, in the sports world. $1000 down to win $300, is a catastrophe waiting to happen. $500 down to win $150 is no better. What you stand to gain, is simply not worth the risk, imo. And I say this, even though I am also confident that the Jazz win SU tonight. Many years back, it is these types of bets (with no value) that led me, to totally transform the way that I wager, and incorporate value as an integral part of the screening process when deciding on games. Once upon a very long time ago, I placed a wager on a -340 ML in baseball, where I was backing the team's best pitcher, who was also the hottest in baseball, against a squad that was arguably the worst in baseball at the time. Needless to say they ended up losing, and I never forgave myself for the loss. An expensive lesson to say the least. Although, that was a very long time ago, I have never made that type of a bet since. Now, I stand by the slogan, "No Value = No Play", no matter the circumstances surrounding the event. GL with whatever you decide.

FYI - Pacers are 4-1 without Dunleavy and Granger this year. Small sample obviously, but just something to think about.

Also, the Hawks are a good team. While I think the Jazz will win and actually have a small lean they would cover (I am not playing it though), I think the Hawks could win. To me, their is no way to drop a dime on that to win 3 bills. BOL though if you do.

I don't like the NBA card tonight at all. Right now I think my only play is the 1st half under Knicks/Pacers 115.5

thats about "as close to a lock" as there is tonight I think. But just to be on the safe side I would parlay it with another high probability game so that you avoid the juice

Atlanta has been frustrating lately - the last time I was on them heavy was last weekend when they were on the road in Portland and they got demolished.

I like to play Utah at home - tough place to get to if you're a visiting team, the fans are 100% united behind the Jazz and they have a good home record.

All that said, I have the Jazz in a teaser with the Clippers.
