Oklahoma City +6 / Orlando 7:00 ET 1 Unit
Oklahoma City 102 Orlando 74 Winner
The Thunder haven't been playing bad this season. They're 2-3 but easily could be at least 3-2 as they lost in OT to the Lakers earlier this week. We're looking for OKC to catch Orlando "fat & content" having blown out Phoenix at home Thursday (122-100) and then getting their revenge from Detroit in their next game on Friday (110-103.. no cover). Also, the Magic host Cleveland Wednesday so very well may be looking right past today.
New Orleans +6.5 / LA Lakers 9:30 ET 1 Unit
New Orleans 88 LA Lakers 104 Lose
We feel the Lakers will continue to struggle against the number, and are more than likely to lose a game or 2 outright before getting back to full strength with the return of Pao Gasol & Andrew Bynum. LA is 5-1 SU but just 1-5 ATS. As we've said before, once LA is 100%, that's when they'll start destroying the number.
Saturday 11/08 NBA: -1.25 Units (Volume: 1.25 Units)

Phoenix 110 Boston 103 Winner
Over 207 Phoenix / Boston 1.25 Unit
Phoenix 110 Boston 103 Winner
4th game in 6 night's for both of these teams, but the difference here is the amount of energy the Celtics have been using in their tough defensive style of play. Boston has held the competition to just 81.5 ppg thus far. It takes much more energy to play that style of basketball as opposed to the Suns wide open style. After holding Philly to just 74 on Tuesday and having to hold off Minnesota from a near upset Wednesday, Boston will be showing signs of fatigue tonight which will force them into Phoenix' game. We look for a high scoring game tonight and for the Suns to be there in the end with a chance at the outright win. This line is up to +11 from the opener of +9.5 mainly because of Phoenix getting blown out in Orlando Wednesday...
Miami pk / Denver 7:30 ET 1.25 Unit
Miami 96 Denver 88 Winner
The undefeated Nuggets (5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS) rolled into Miami Wednesday night for the 3rd leg of their 6 game/9 night road trip. With the way they've been rolling over the competition thus far, we can see how some of the Denver players may feel like they deserved a night (or 2) out on the town in South Beach while waiting to play the Heat tonight. Denver's margin of victory is an astounding 13 ppg (115-102) thus far which is certain to straighten out soon, and what better time than against a solid Miami team playing at home.

Parlay: Orlando (ML) -360 / Phoenix & Over 217.5 Risk 0.5/Unit to win 0.72/Unit
Orlando 122 Phoenix 100 Winner
The Suns have a very tough schedule to start the season as 15 of their first 22 games are on the road and last night's game in Miami started a 5 game in 7 night stretch all on the road. The back to back Florida sweep is a tough task for any team, and the fact that the Suns have a trip to Boston on deck Friday, we feel they'll be looking to ace themselves which means even less defense than usual!! After losing at home to the Pistons last night despite a big effort defensively (Orlando held the Pistons to just 85 points on 38% shooing), the Magic will welcome the opportunity to display their offensive showcase to the home crowd.
We're risking a total of 1.5 Units on the Over tonight and the way we're splitting our play we stand to make 1.63 Units as opposed to 1.37 Units a 1.5 Unit Over play only would yield (22% more). We don't like having to lay such a hefty number to such a scoring machine... we can see the cover coming down to luck in garbage time with the total already decided.
Over 186 Boston / Minnesota 8:00 ET 1.25 Units
Boston 90 Minnesota 92 Lose
4th game in 6 nights for the Celtics. In their previous 3, Boston has held their opponents to just 84 ppg while averaging 107 themselves. These types of margins of victory do not last in the long run no matter what the talent level of a team is. We can't bet against Boston against such a weak opponent but we're sure we will be soon against quality. In tonight's game, we like the over as we feel the Celtics will relax a bit on defense due to fact, as mentioned, that this is their 4th game in 6 nights and they know they'll have their hands full in their next game vs Phoenix on Friday.
Houston +2.5 / LA Lakers 8:30 ET 1 Unit
Houston 102 LA Lakers 103 Winner
Under 203 LA Lakers / Houston 1 Unit
Houston 102 LA Lakers 103 Lose
The Lakers are 3-1 SU but 0-4 ATS... so they're "due" to cover... right...? Actually, they're due to lose outright! The telltale sign of an over rated team is when they're winning but not covering. The linesmakers are giving them too much respect early on and Houston, with the absence of Yao Ming, not enough. Give LA some time to get into their groove and when you least expct it, they'll go on one of their patented ATS runs, and it'll most likely happen a game or two after getting Pao Gasol back from injury.
As for the total tonight, it's a solid 5-10 points higher than last years' playoff lines... The series started off at 193 and crept all the way up to 199.5 by game 5 and then back down to 194 for game 7...
