Indiana Pacers at Utah Jazz

Utah is getting too much respect for their home floor tonight. This happens quite often when it comes to the Jazz. In actuality, Utah is now on 7-game slide ATS when they're at home off a game as a road dog. The public reacts too much to their home floor status and the linesmaker obliges by adding a basket to the number. That's the case again tonight.

Taking Indiana (+8.5)!
Good luck!


Seattle SuperSonics at Cleveland Cavaliers

Cavaliers are 6-1-1 Under their last eight contests and should be able to clamp down on a Seattle club short on offensive weapons. Sonics have gone under in five-of-six and lost Sunday in Washington 108-86 so will be looking for a better defensive effort of their own in this one. They are 12-3 UNDER after allowing 105 points or more this season while CLEVELAND is 55-36 UNDER as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points over the last 3 seasons.

Expecting UNDER!
Good luck!


New York Knicks at Chicago Bulls

Knicks have lost seven straight but had little chance in the last two, playing at San Antonio and at Houston on back-to-back nights. They covered versus the Spurs and come into this one looking to avenge recent 100-83 loss to the Bulls at the Garden. They should be more relaxed on the road while the Bulls have their own fans to worry about should they get off to a slow start. Chicago is 4-2 its last six but 3-3 ATS with its wins coming against Milwaukee, New York, Charlotte and Sacramento. Going back further it is 4-9 ATS its last 13.

Go New York (+6.5)!
Good luck!


Orlando Magic at Sacramento Kings

Dwight Howard has been the key to the Magic's rise to the top of the Southeast Division. The fourth-year center is averaging a career-best 22.4 PPG and a league-high 15.2 RPG. Joining Howard in getting the job done are Turkoglu (19.5-6.2-4.1), who is having a career-year, Lewis (18.7-5.1), PG Nelson (11.5-3.9-5.8) and Bogans (10.2). Sacramento (12-20) has lost six of its last seven games, partly due to a long injury list. The Kings have been without their four leading scorers from last season (Kevin Martin, Mike Bibby, Ron Artest and Shareef Abdur-Rahim), due to various injuries since the beginning of the season. Bibby has yet to play a game, Abdur-Rahim is out for the season, Artest is expected to be out until the end of January, and Martin, who was averaging 24.5 PPG when he strained his groin in early December, will miss at least another week. The Kings are returning from a three-game road trip that started off with a win over the Knicks but ended with a pair of close losses, a four-point defeat at Cleveland on Friday and a 94-93 loss at Chicago on Sunday. John Salmons had seven of Sacramento's 18 turnovers. However, despite his turnover problems on Sunday, Salmons has been the Kings' best player with Martin out. He's averaged 16.8 PPG (up from 8.5 PPG last season) and 4.9 RPG in 2007-08. Sacramento commits an NBA-worst 16.7 turnovers per game and also averages the fewest rebounds (39.6) and assists (17.9) in the Western Conference.

Taking Orlando!
Good luck!
