Tor Mia

play on Tor +3

Wade rolled his ankle in Miami's 107-96 loss to Toronto (5-5) on Sunday, but he played in a 94-87 win over Washington on Tuesday, finishing with 19 points

One of the Heat's toughest tasks on Wednesday will be containing Bosh, who scored a season-high 40 in Toronto's 103-90 loss to Orlando on Tuesday. Bosh is averaging 26.6 points in 2008-09, and 32.3 in the last three games.

"The way he's playing words can't describe, and it's not just scoring and rebounding," Toronto coach Sam Mitchell said. "He's doing all the little things.

Playing the angle team off a loss vs. team off a win.

Phi Minn

In addition to getting outrebounded in six of its past eight games, Minnesota ranks in the bottom third in the league in field goal shooting at 43.0 percent

Calculating units for me I hate doing that, it wasted too much time for me in the past. Usually my best pick will be in the order I post, ie. I like Bos/Det Under better than the rest. Good luck tonight.

Record 5-2

Charlotte vs. AtL

Dirk Nowitzki scored 32 points, outscoring Charlotte’s entire starting five, and the Mavericks never trailed in a 100-83 rout on Tuesday night

Charlotte, which fell behind 15-0 while playing again without top scorer Jason Richardson (knee). The Bobcats didn’t score until nearly 7 minutes had elapsed in a woeful performance that kept them winless all-time against Dallas

AtL Josh Smith and Al Horford sidelined with injuries

Playing the angle here good coach team coming off embarrassing loss getting lots of points

Play on Charlotte +7.5

NJ vs. Tor

The Nets defended poorly much of the night and went invisible offensively in the second half. With LeBron James getting in the lane at will and the Cavs ramming home 10 three-pointers, the Nets were overwhelmed when they managed just 30 second half points

Despite the might of O’Neal and Bosh inside, the Nets’ biggest headache could be the Raptors’ three-point ability: they are ranked 2nd in the league while the Nets are last in three-point defense. So Jason Kapono, Jamario Moon, Andrea Bargnani and Anthony Parker could lead a Raptors’ long-distance party.

Play on Toronto -8.5
Play on Tor/NJ-Over 196


Clippers vs. Phi

Strength of schedule advantage Clippers.

Play on L.A. Clippers +9
Play on Clippers/Sixers Under 192.5

Chi Golden State

Morrow, who averaged 7.7 points as a reserve in his other three games with Golden State, played 42 minutes and was 15-for-20 from the field. The 6-foot-5 guard from Georgia Tech signed with the Warriors on July 25 after playing for their summer league team

Chicago forward Luol Deng missed the game because of a groin injury. He was hurt Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. His status is day to day.

Play Golden State -4


Denv Lakers

Chauncey Billups made big shots and the Denver Nuggets got plenty of key stops.
Billups scored 22 points, Carmelo Anthony added 21 and the surging Nuggets cruised to a 91-81 victory Wednesday night over the injury-riddled San Antonio Spurs.

Denver played well enough to beat us,” Popovich said. “They played aggressively

The Bulls responded by outscoring the Lakers 16-4 during the remainder of the second quarter, making it 61-56 at halftime.

The Suns responded with a 12-2 spurt to go up 37-34 when Grant Hill made one of two free throws with 7:05 left in the half.

Playing the angles here team on a 4-game winning streak playing a team having played a huge game last night. Shaq vs. Kobe. Letdown here for Lakers.

Play on Denver +8.5
