Tuesday Night NBA

By Divol

Charlotte Bobcats v Houston Rockets



13th January 00:05 GMT

Cats are one of the best home teams in the league. In fact, they are the 5th best team in the league at home. They need to be good at home, since on the road they are 3 - 15! They are also a good team, with team being the key word here. Brown Vs. Adelman, team Vs. team. I just think that both teams are even, with home factor usually counted for 4 points at least and in Cats case, it should be much bigger swing.

I can't see one area that Rockets have the advantage and Cats have five games at home and then play 7 of the next 8 on the road. They need to get as many home wins as they can before that trip.



Pick: Charlotte -2, 1.95 - 3 units play - Sportbet


San Antonio Spurs v Los Angeles Lakers

13th January 01:35

Lakers without Gasol and with Kobe injured look bad. Spurs look bad against any good team. Why good? Spurs look bad against any mediocre team even. Can't remember the last time they beat a good team even.

Lakers face in their next 5 games Spurs, Dallas, Cleveland on the road and Magic at home. They need the wins since they are coming badly to this big week and that is before their 8 games road trip. The line is the reason I take the bet. Lean the Lakers to win, but can easily see it being at least tied, even if Lakers end up losing.



Pick: Lakers +3, 2.0 - 4 units play - Pinnacle


Sacremento Kings v Orlando Magic



13th January 03:05 GMT

Both teams are bad on defense, where their rivals good on offense. Magic set NBA record playing in Sacramento just a year or two ago with three pointers and they also have Howard in the paint. Looks like Magic shouldn't have problems scoring. The problem is that Kings are also good from downtown and Magic really don't defend three point line well and Carter's absence should hurt them on road games much more than at home.

So Magic I won't back here, but I just love the Over play.
