Lawrence Castillo76 said:How can anyone undervalue Bobкетs tonight? Even with Maggette out and Kemba starting at the point instead of DJ—which, if you ask me, gives us a massive 9.5-point advantage—the math just doesn't add up. I’m struggling to see where this logic comes from.

I have to disagree here. Honestly, I think TOR could easily cover that 9.5 spread.

Cleveland (h+9.5) vs. San Antonio 2 1.85

Irving is on the floor.

Detroit is missing Stuckey, and Howard is currently a game-time decision.

Thornton’s status for Sacramento is uncertain; if he sits, I’m taking the Under 106.5 for Sacramento at 1.85.

Drew Palmer66 said:Alongside Marcin Gortat, the Phoenix Suns are heavy favorites at -10.5 against the New Orleans Pelicans, even though the Pelicans have been surprisingly decent lately despite missing several key players.
The Pelicans are playing their fifth game in seven days. Meanwhile, Phoenix has had three full days of rest.
I am betting on the visitors being exhausted.

Phoenix wins this one easily.
Marcin Gortat played 26 minutes, went 5/8 from the field, and put up 13 points. It’s a shame... they really should have fed him the ball more often.😢

Lawrence Castillo76 said:I'm noticing a lot of action on Marcin Gortat over tonight. Is there some underlying reason for this? It doesn't feel particularly fluid to me; the New Orleans Pelicans are playing a heavy, physical style.

The Hornets are missing guys like Ariza, Ayton, Kaminsky, Landry, and Okafor. They have all these big men 😉
playing surprisingly well in their absence, but let's be honest... they aren't sitting at the bottom of the standings for nothing.

Maybe the height advantage is a bit too much to ignore, but I took him anyway...

With Marcin Gortat in the mix, I’m leaning toward Phoenix (-10.5) over the New Orleans Pelicans at 1.85, even though the Pelicans have actually played surprisingly well lately despite being shorthanded.
They’re playing their fifth game in seven days today. Meanwhile, Phoenix has had three full days of rest.
I am banking on the visitors being exhausted.

ps. I suspect Pekovic won't suit up, and Aldridge is a real question mark.

Marcin Gortat M. (-17.5+) over 1.85

They really need to offer at least 1.60 odds.

The line is -4 for Chicago...
Hmm, a tight margin...

Drew Palmer66 said:Melo aggravated his groin. Tyson Chandler is dealing with a groin issue now too. Plus, Baron Davis is fighting through some hamstring and calf problems. Despite all that, everyone claims they'll suit up tomorrow.

Kyrie Irving will be re-evaluated by the Cleveland Cavaliers' medical staff following a suspected sprain to his right shoulder.
“I’m in pain right now, but I’m getting through it, taking a lot of Advil and anti-inflammatories and going from there,” he stated. “Throughout the third quarter, I was still shooting the ball, but there’s just a lot of pain in my shoulder right now. I’ve just got to push through it.”

Good luck to someone...

What is this Cleveland team even doing? Honestly...

Carmelo Anthony is dealing with a groin strain. Now Tyson Chandler is nursing a groin injury too. On top of that, Baron Davis is fighting through some hamstring and calf issues. Everyone claims they'll suit up tomorrow, though we've heard that before.

Kyrie Irving is currently undergoing evaluation by the Cleveland Cavaliers medical staff following a sprained right shoulder.
“I’m feeling the pain right now, but I’m pushing through it. I'm leaning heavily on Advil and anti-inflammatories to manage it,” he remarked. “I was still able to find my shot during the third quarter, but the shoulder is really hurting at the moment. I just have to endure it.”

not a chance...

LaMarcus Aldridge is sitting out shootaround due to hip issues
As for Chris Kaman, he's listed as questionable as he deals with an illness.
Gustavo Ayon won't be available for Thursday's game; he's taking time off for the birth of his child.
Trevor Ariza is also out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers with an ankle injury.
Expect Raymond Felton to step into the starting lineup this Thursday.

Miami (h-7.5) vs. Dallas Mavericks | Odds: 1.85

Jack J. over 16.5 | Odds: 1.85

Spread: -7.5

Drew Palmer66 said:Sacramento (+4.5) vs San Antonio | Spread: 2 | Total: 185

With Duncan out of the equation, you absolute jokers... we're looking at an over, 101% certainty.

/6-4/

Duncan's at 18 lately; averaged 15 PPG. If he were playing, the line wouldn't exceed 16.

Obviously...

P.S. Without Ariza, Kaminsky, or Ayton, the Knicks lose to the Warriors. 🙏

I’m also throwing in
GolmanSachs(h-2,5)-New Orleans 1 1,85

Sacramento Kings vs San Antonio Spurs 2 1,85

Tim Duncan isn't even on the roster, you vultures... this is going over 101% of the time.

/6-4/

What are your thoughts on the Mavericks at -6.5?
ps. Goran Dragic is in the lineup.

Philadelphia (h-9,5) - Cleveland 2 1,85
Ilyasova (-14,5+) less 1,70

The Turk🙂, threading the needle through Boston.

Stoudemire and Lin were hurting after Saturday's rout of the Pistons, putting both players' status in question for tonight's critical game. With 17 Games remaining in the season, the Knicks lead the Bucks by 1 1/2 Games for the eighth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. This will be the third of four meetings between the clubs this year. The Bucks won the first two

No, I believe they will both play tonight.

Stoudemire has been terrific lately and was outstanding in the Knicks' two losses to the Bucks, averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds. If he doesn't perform at that level tonight, the Knicks are going to struggle—especially since backup Jared Jeffries is sidelined with an inflamed right knee.

Lin's sore left knee is arguably less concerning than Stoudemire's back issue. Nevertheless, Lin is a critical component of the Knicks' offense, and Baron Davis isn't exactly fit to play either, currently battling hamstring and back problems.

And we’re supposed to believe that? Honestly, who would buy this nonsense?
