Friday Night NBA - Extra

Philadelphia 76ers v Los Angeles Lakers

30th January 00:05 GMT

Lakers see Cleveland without Mo and Delonte keep stocking wins. They are already behind them and play Boston and Memphis B2B next, so it will be hard for them to win both. There is a solid chance that even if they win two of their three next games, they will still be on 2nd place, maybe even 1.5 games behind. They need this one I think. More than that, I can't see anything that Sixers have on the Lakers. Dalembert and Brand maybe one of the best front court duo's, but not against Bynum and Gasol. Iggy got nothing on Kobe and Fisher vs. AI is a match up I like both ways, so don't see advantage there. Young, Speights, Capone and Holiday against Odom, Artest, Walton, Brown and Farmar? Like it as well.



Pick: Lakers -6, 1.92 - 2.5 units play - Expekt


San Antonio Spurs v Memphis Grizzlies

This one is a bit tough without Parker, but I will still take it. Memphis are mediocre on the road, Spurs still need the wins before their road trip. I worry about Memphis front court, but Memphis doesn't have anyone to guard Duncan as well. Manu can be a huge x-factor here and if Spurs reserves will make three pointers, it will be an easy win for the Spurs.



Pick: Spurs -4, 1.92 - 1.5 units play - Expekt


Utah Jazz v Sacremento Kings



30th January 02:05 GMT

Martin will give a good game sooner or later, Casspi as well. They proved they can win in Utah and with Utah playing without Deron Williams and Boozer, I like Kings chances to hold this big line. Without Williams, they will struggle to guard Evans as well.



Pick: Kings +9, 1,93 - 1.5 units play - Expekt
