Chicago(+2) at Indiana(-2.5)
The Bulls have not been a very good road team this year, and will have a difficult time against the Pacers tonight in Indiana. I look for the Pacers to get some revenge for a loss they suffered to the Bulls back in Chicago a few days ago. Indiana is 3-1 ATS in their last 4 meetings, and the home team is 9-4 ATS in their last 9 games between them. Even without Troy Murphy(3 point specialist) I think the Pacers have enough to take care of Chicago who may also be without John Salmons(a key weapon in bulls offense) for this game. I know alot of handicappers will criticize me for picking a team that has no hope for the playoffs(Indiana) versus a team like the Bulls who are still in the playoff picture. In my honest opinion alot of teams out of contention have mailed it in, but i don't believe the pacers are one of those teams, I also know the coach is a hard ass and will demand his team to give it everything they got until the end.
Betting On: Indiana(-2.5)(-110)(5.50 units)
Final Score:
Chicago 105
Indiana 107 (lost)(-5.50 units) (lost by a (.5) a point, ouch!!)

Atlanta(+2) at Philadelphia(-2)
The Hawks are another team i really don't trust on the road and now they find themselves battling an angry Sixers team that is coming off back to back loses to Detroit and Charlotte. I know the Hawks did just beat the Lakers at home a few days ago, but i feel they will have a bit of a let down in this spot. The Sixers beat the Hawks in Atlanta on Jan 11 so i would expect the Hawks to come out for revenge in this game. But this is a bad spot for that kind of motivation because i think the Sixers will not lose 3 games in a row considering they are still trying to hold on to their seed in the eastern conference playoff picture. In a nutshell the Hawks are just not the same team on the road and tonight it will show in Philly as the Sixers aim to snap their 2 game losing streak.
Betting On: Philadelphia(-2)(-110)(5.50 units)
Final Score:
Atlanta 85
Philadelphia 98 (win)(+5.00 units)

Utah(+6) at Portland(-6)
This is a gut feeling play, but I'm pretty sure the Jazz will struggle tonight since they played last night and had some trouble putting the Knicks away late in that game. Fatigue will take over here and the much younger and rested Blazers will be ready to take it to this tired Jazz team. The home team is 20-8 ATS in the last 28 meetings and the Jazz have been awful on the road this year going 14-21 SU and 16-19 ATS. The Jazz won the first 2 meetings in Utah this year and the Blazers won their last meeting in Portland on the 31st of Jan, tonight i think the Blazers win big to even the season series for the year and show Utah they are no push overs.
Betting On: Portland(-6)(-110)(5.50 units)
Final Score:
Utah 104
Portland 125 (win)(+5.00 units)
