5*

Overall: 18-10-1=+10.7 units

I went on 7-0 last week (somehow). It was all documented on TIS (that other place). I'm going to start posting plays here, too, since there are a lot of good cappers to read and since I'm reading I minds well post since I think the NBA has been in years past my best sport.

I haven't had anything big to play on, really, outside of a 3* play on the Mavericks taking care of the Suns last week.

Tonight:

2*, 1st Half LA Clippers/Orlando Magic Under 98
2*, 1st Half Oklahoma City Thunder (PK)

2*, Toronto Raptors (+7, 1st Half)

So this Raptors team sucks. They have gotten run out of the gym multiple times and now they are expected to compete with the Cavs and Lebron and a team that is 14-2 ATS and ranked as one of the top 3-4 teams in the league, on the road?

I'll take this spot. Traditionally the Raptors have faired poorly here but you still have Chris Bosh in the middle and you have a Raptors team that has to show a little bit of pride against the best player in the world and a scorching hot team.

Eventually the Cavs will win this game but when you look at it from their standpoint is there a reason to be intimidated by the Raptors?

that's in line with why I think they could come out sluggish at home, expecting to just roll.

I've noticed some slow starts from them already this year and wouldn't be surprised if they are down 2-3 points or up 2-3 points at the break.

I think the Raptors can cover this game, as well, but I'm just more confident in them coming out with something to play for and grabbing the 7 points.

1*, Chicago Bulls (-4 1/2, 1st Half)

Another 1st half play as this has all I've gone with this week. I usually don't play many of these half scenarios but I think this is decent value.

Things we know here...both of these teams are rocking less than impressive 9-11 records. Maybe the 9-11 is a positive for NY but not so for first year Chicago coach Vinny Del Negro who has been asked to turn this franchise around immediately and get it in playoff mode this year.

The Knicks have dominated this series ATS recently between the two.

Both of these teams are similar in the fact, as well, that NY is 5-8 in the Conference and Chicago is 4-7.

So with that being said you might expect a 2-3 favorite line for the home Bulls, right?

Not so fast say the oddsmakers as the Bulls are sitting as a 7 1/2 favorites, somewhat surprising.

I think this is because the Bulls are more talented, and are 6-3 at home. Also the Bulls are out to set this series straight with the Knicks and I think they will be ready to play from the opening tap.

I'm expecting the Bulls to get up by 10 after the first quarter and hold right around there to get the cover.

I also think the Bulls roll in this one capturing a 12-15 point victory but I will just be playing the first portion of this game.

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I have Toronto +7, they lead by 5...and then Bron Bron nails a 3 pointer the buzzer to move it to a 8 point first half lead as time expires.

I love my life.
