NBA - November 18th

(Lines taken from PartyBet.com)

Game 1: New York Knicks (+6.5) at Indiana Pacers (-6.5)
Bet: Indiana by 7
Reasons: Indiana and New York have played each other beforehand and Indiana came away with the victory on the road 101-89 (on November 4). Although the Pacers are coming from the road after a game in New Jersey, they are coming off a win, and right now, the Knicks just arent all that good.

Game 2: Toronto Raptors (+8.5) at Utah Jazz (-8.5)
Bet: Utah by 9
Reasons: Utah has been off since Saturday and the 4 days rest will help them against a tired Raptors squad who have come off a loss to the Denver Nuggets last night (130-112). They'll have to continue to deal with the thin air of Salt Lake City and the Raptors have historically been a team that has performed poorly on their West Coast road trips. Dont take the points, take the Jazz.

Game 3: New Jersey Nets (+9.5) at Milwaukee Bucks (-9.5)
Bet: Milwaukee by 10
Reasons: The Nets are a complete mess right now, not having won a game so far this season. They lack a consistent scoring threat (in the last 5 games, they have averaged less than 80 points). They're on the 2nd game of a back-to-back and going into Milwaukee, who have been one of the league's more pleasant surprises. Expect the Bucks to score in excess of 95 points, and thus, more than covering the spread.

IN SUM:

Picks:
Pacers (-6.5)
Jazz (-8.5)
Bucks (-9.5)

November Record : 0-0-0
Season Record: 0-0-0
