Spread Picks March 6, 2009

NBA
7:05 pm(est)
Atlanta(+2) at Charlotte(-2)


The Charlotte Bobcats are rolling, they have won 4 in a row and have covered the spread in each of those games. Coach Larry Brown has this team ready to make a push for the 8th seed in the eastern conference playoff picture. The Hawks on the other hand have been struggling of late, dropping 6 of their last 10 games. But somehow they seem to have the Bobcats number so far this year taking the first 3 games they have played including a 102-97 victory back on Feb 6 in Charlotte. Now the Hawks are back one more time and i believe this time the Bobcats will be ready for them. I just can't see the Hawks sweeping this team especially with how well Charlotte is playing. The Bobcat's are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 home games and 7-3 ATS versus the Hawks head to head in their last 10 meetings.

Betting on: Charlotte(-2)(-105)(2.10 units)

Final Score:
Atlanta 91
Charlotte 98(win)(+2.00 units)




NBA
8:05 pm(est)
Cleveland(+1.5) at Boston(-1.5)

This promises to be one of the better games of the night and by far it seems everyone is jumping on the Cavs. This is all because of the perception that the Celtics can't win a big game without Kevin Garnett. I'm not totally convinced that is true, you see the Cavs maybe 9-1 ATS versus Boston in their last 10 games, but the Celtics have won 6 of those 10 straight up. As a matter of fact the Celtics have beaten the Cavs 6 times in a row at home, so i would be very nervous if i was a Cleveland backer tonight. Another reason I'm taking the Celtics shorthanded is the fact that I have more confidence in Boston's defense being able to stop LeBron James and company. I just don't think the Cavaliers will be able to stop the Celtic offensive attack, especially if Ray Allen and Paul Pierce get cooking behind the 3 point line. This is also a revenge game for the Celtics, they were beaten by the Cavs in Cleveland 98-83 back on Jan 9th so I'm sure they've had this game circled on their calender.

Betting on: Boston(-1.5)(-105)(2.10 units)

Final Score:
Cleveland 94
Boston 105 (win)(+2.00 units)




NBA
10:35 pm(est)
Denver(+9) at Utah(-9)


This game has blowout written all over it, as the Nuggets travel to Utah to take on the red hot Utah Jazz. The Jazz have won 9 in a row and are looking to continue their dominance on their home court. Denver is coming of a win last night and had to travel to Utah where they have not played well, losing 4 of their last 5 meetings their. The favorite is 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings, and to top it off the Nuggets are just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 meetings head to head. I just can't see how the Nuggets make this a game, their tired legs and an explosive Jazz offense will be way too much for the Nuggets to overcome tonight.

Betting on: Utah(-9)(-110)(2.20 units)

Final Score:
Denver 91
Utah 97(lost)(-2.20 units)
