Monday Night NBA

By Divol

Philadelphia 76ers v Golden State Warriors



15th December 00:05 GMT

I was hoping Warriors would have won in Detroit, Iverson would be healthy and it would have been 5 units play. But, Warriors off two losses, Iverson injured and didn't practice (and they need the practice) and will probably play injured. He was problematic to say the least on defense before, so now, against the fast GSW, hm....

Still, Warriors suck, Sixers are 0 - 12 and after this game play Boston and Cleveland. Sixers need this one badly and at home should get it. Dalembert and Brand should really get the job done against non existing front line of the GSW and with Iggy and Young Sixers can run as well.



Pick: Sixers -3.5, 1.85 odds - 3 units play - Digibet


Utah Jazz v Minnesota Timberwolves



15th December 02:05 GMT

First of all, Minny are simply good or more exact, they are much better than they were just two weeks ago.  Second, I can't see Jazz, after winning two NBA Finals and fierce rivals as Spurs, two in giant comebacks and one in a blow out, even looking at this game.  They played poorly against Pacers, lost to Thunders and etc...

They also match up decent against Jazz, with both teams lacking decent SF, both good in the paint. As for the last home game of the Jazz before hitting the road, I think that the line is big enough for Jazz to win but not cover.

Also, the crowd was rocking three games, can't imagine them getting hyped up again in such game. The fans need a rest as well.



Pick: Wolves +13 - 2.00 odds, 1.5 units play - 188bet.
