New Orleans Hornets - New Jersey Nets

New Orleans (25-13) won their first back-to-back game this month, Monday night against Indiana (103:100). The game was decided after Chris Paul (27 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds) hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer and with the help of Stojakovi***269;, who posted some nice numbers (26 pts, 4 reb) as well they managed to win it. They'll have to step-up tonight as well, if they want to win this game, because the Hornets won't have two of their top players. David West missed Monday's game due to back spasms that will most likely keep him out of this game as well. Tyson Chandler will sit ou of this one as well, after leaving Monday's game on crutches with a sprained ankle. Hilton Armstrong went down with a knee injury on that game too and is questionable for tonight.
So, suddenly New Jersey (19-22) has the upper hand in the paint, with the young rookie center Brook Lopez playing very well in the last couple of games. The Nets are coming off a 85:105 loss and a really bad performance against the Celtics. They fell behind 18-2 and trailed by as much as 30 and the club matched their season-high of three straight losses. Vince Carter and Devin Harris were benched for the entire 2nd half and finished with 5 and 7 points. These two will look to bounce back tonight on the road, where they rank among the league's leading scorers with 23.4 and 25.4 points per game. The Nets won 10 of their 18 road games and are 13-5 ATS on the road.

My pick: New Jersey (+6)
I also see some value on the ML

In my opinion today we could see Dallas second straight win against MIlwokie.. Win against 76ers boost mavs. Now they believe again their abilities. Josh Howard is back too. Milwokie without Bogut.

GSW-Thunder

Warriors at home is pretty strong team. They Won there 6in a row and i think they will win next match against Thunder. Maggette and Jackson are ready for match, team is on form, so possibility for warriors win over 4points handicap is very very real:}

IMo this game is far from being public bet or banker, because it might go either way...
For tonight, Im gonna play:

1. Sharlotte against Memphis: Im gonna make here single bet, Sharlotte win is most probable outcome, Memphis has 6 games losing streak, they play awfull, Sharlotte lost last game vs SAS in last seconds, they fought till the end, they have 10 very good players and they should win this hcp. Sharlotte +6, 8/10.

2. Lakers as Clipps: Clipps again depleted with injuries, no Camby, its enough to see last match starting 5. Lakers nothing special, but their 7 players will be more then enough for this. Hcp is pretty big, Im will try first half +7.5 Lakers, stake 8/10. Single bet.

3. Pistons should defeat Toronto more than 5.5 points. Pistons has many problems in last period, but some new, very good players are born: Stuckey and Amir Johnson. Toronto without Calderon and Oneal, they are nothing specially on the road. Pistons gonna have in next period few very tough visits : Phoenix, Houston etc...its perfect moment for win.
Combo material, stake 5/10.

4.Phoenix at NYK. Two crazy teams, no defence, only attack, attack, few shoots in minute, line is high but these two guarantee fan and points. Over 220, stake 4/10.
