Monday Night NBA

New York Knicks v Milwaukee Bucks



 23rd February 00:35 GMT

I went 0 from 8 yesterday and I will be honest, it's not easy to come back betting and/or capping after that. Still, I have decided to take few small - medium stakes bets, to try and feel where I stand.

Knicks actually did great things this season and in this trades deadline. They managed to get the wage dump they wanted and to create a decent roster. Nate wasn’t getting along with the Knicks system and while I’m not sure that House will be a better fit, he wasn’t bad against the Thunder and at least they tried to get another good option from the bench that can put up numbers with the second unit. Lee and Gallinari, Knicks biggest assets are still with the team and T-Mac is hungry, healthy and on a contract year. I can’t imagine better time to take a chance on him.

Bucks will do their best and they are fighting for the last playoff spot, so it won’t be easy. Add to that the fact that Bucks beat the Knicks in NY just two weeks ago and it won’t be that shocking to see them win. Still, Knicks aren’t the same, I’m sure that the crowd will be up for this game, since the Knicks played well against Thunder and I think it’s a good chance to go with them today.

L.A. Clippers v Charlotte Bobcats

I like the Over here. Davis should be back and the Clips are trying to play faster basketball game. The Cats with Thomas are even more athletic than ever and can go on fast breaks in every opportunity. I can easily see at least one team going past 100 points, while the other making it 90+ points.

The Clippers Over run came to a stop against the Kings, but I think it had more to do with the second half Unders that the Kings usually have.

Today I have no idea who will win, but it should be high scoring game.



Pick: Over 191 points – 1.91 odds - 2.5 units play - Bluesq
