March 11, 2008

The most interesting line on Tuesday’s NBA card comes in the Portland/Minnesota game.  Here we have a Minnesota team that has only managed 14 wins all season with only four of those wins coming on their home court, yet they are only a point and a half underdog against a 33 win Portland team.  Looking at the rest of the games today, there are a lot of big favorites as there are plenty of lop-sided match ups.  Here’s our rundown of today’s featured odds and our picks for each contest:

Portland Trail Blazers (33-31) at Minnesota Timberwolves (14-48)
Line:
  Portland @ Minnesota +1.5
Over/Under:  189.5

Picks:  Portland Trail Blazers -1.5, Under 189.5
Minnesota only has four wins at home this year, this won’t be their fifth.

Memphis Grizzlies (15-47) at Phoenix Suns (41-22)
Line:
  Memphis @ Phoenix -14
Over/Under:  220.5

Picks:  Phoenix Suns -14, Under 220.5
Memphis has covered just one spread in their last ten games, in 5 of those games they were double-digit underdogs and were still not able to cover the margin.  The Suns should have no problem breaking 100 points, but Memphis will be lucky to get to 90.

Seattle Super Sonics 16-47) at Indiana Pacers (24-39)
Line:
  Seattle @ Indiana -9
Over/Under:  219

Picks:  Indiana Pacers -9, Under 219
The Pacers are coming off of three days of rest after a rough three game road trip, they should be rested and hungry for a win as they return to Indiana.

Utah Jazz (42-22) at Chicago Bulls (25-38)
Line:
  Utah @ Chicago +3
Over/Under:  215

Picks:  Utah Jazz -3, Under 215
Utah is one of the hottest teams in the NBA and they’ve been taking care of business on the road nearly as much as at home lately.

Toronto Raptors (34-28) at L.A. Lakers (44-19)
Line:
  Toronto @ L.A. Lakers -9.5
Over/Under:  212

Picks:  L.A. Lakers -9.5, Over 212
The Lakers are firing on every cylinder right now, don’t bet against them at home.
