New Orleans vs San Antonio -8 ==> Give me the Hornets on the road with the points
Oklahoma City -4.5 vs LA Clippers ==> The Thunder on the road by double digits
LA Lakers -3.5 vs Charlotte ==> Give me the Bobcats in an upset of sorts
I like the Hornets to cover the spread on the road. Their current PG, Darren Collison has filled in admirably for all-NBA world PG Chris Paul. I expect Collison to have a good game attacking the net and as a result will keep this game close. San Antonio will really want to win this game, and I wouldnt be too discouraged if the Spurs are ahead by 15 by the end of the 3rd since the Spurs have a habit of removing their starters late in games to preserve their legs come playoff time (see Tim Duncan).
I like the Thunder to win on the road against the lowly Clippers. Although the Thunder arent as good on the road as they are at home, and although the Clippers arent as bad at home as they are on the road, the Thunder matchup well against them. Expect Kevin Durant to have a strong game against the Clippers and expect Eric Gordon and Baron Davis of the Clippers to have a tough time on offense as theyre checked by Thabo Sefolosha and Russell Westbrook, respectfully.
Finally, give me the Bobcats at home to beat the small spread. I like the Cats at home since LA is coming off an overtime loss on the road to Miami and are going to be playing an energetic team in Charlotte. The Bobcats are a good home team and should keep the game competitive for four quarters.
So there are the picks! Until next time, bidding you adieu!
51-34 with picks against the spread in the NBA
