NBA - FEB 23

Coming back strong with an overall record of 40-29 with picks against the line, looking for some winner tonight. Here are the picks:

New Orleans vs Cleveland (-11.5) --> Take the Hornets to keep it within 10
Portland (-7.5) vs New Jersey --> Take the Blazers
LA Lakers (-5.5) vs Memphis --> Take the Grizz plus the points

I like NO to challenge the Cavs at home. Cleveland hasnt been gelling since the acquisition of Jamison and I think the team will continue to struggle as they try and find a role for the forward. New Orleans has been impressive of late and PG Nick Collision has been impressive since taking over duties from Chris Paul, who has been nursing some injuries.

I like New Jersey to play well at home against Portland, but I just think Portland has too much talent for the Nets to handle. Portland will be playing tomorrow night in Toronto so I think they buckle down and focus tonight so that they get at least a split in this 2-game time frame. Expect Portland to play well and win comfortably so that they can rest starters for tomorrow.

Finally, Im taking the Grizz to possibly win tonight against the Lakers. Memphis played LA tough at home last time out, winning by 2 points. With Kobe nursing some injuries and Memphis playing at home, I just think the Grizz keep this game close.
