Detroit(+9.5) at Boston(-9.5)
This is basically a feeling game for me, most of the numbers support a Boston blowout but I'm not totally convinced that scenario will play out. You see i really believe that Detroit's recent losing skid had nothing to do with the team struggling, but i believe it had more to do with the players sending a message to management. The message was received loud and clear on Friday night as the Piston benched Alan Iverson who was recently acquired from Denver and surprisingly all of a sudden Detroit found a way to win a game. Even more impressive is that they actually managed to beat one of the best teams(Orlando) in the league in their own arena. So its not hard to read between the lines here, and my best guess would be that 9.5 points is way too much to give this new look Detroit Pistons team. I don't think they'll win straight up, but i do see them keeping it close.
Betting on: Detroit(+9.5)(-110)(2.20 units)
Final Score:
Detroit 105(win)(+2.00 units)

Cleveland(-4) at Atlanta(+4)
Another one of those gut feeling plays, I really like the Cavs in this situation even if they are giving 4 to a decent Hawks team at home. Atlanta did beat the Cavs the last time they played back in December but the Cleveland is way to strong of a team to allow that to happen again. The Cavs are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 trips to Atlanta, and 7-3 vs the Hawks straight up in their last 10 meetings. I just cant see how the Hawks can stop Lebron and company tonight, and if the Hawks play too loose they could find themselves on the wrong end of a blowout.
Betting on: Cleveland(-4)(-110)(5.50 units)
Final Score:
Cleveland 88(lost)(-5.50 units)
