Friday Night NBA

By Divol

Washington Wizards v New York Knicks



27th February 00:05 GMT

Washington started pretty well after the trades, but they are no doubt (to me) the worst team in the league by far right now. Yes, worse than the Knicks and worse than Nets and Minny (though it’s a close call). Their star players are Thornton, rotation guy in Clippers (another NBA giant) and Blatche (that went from being the 12th player on the team to their start player in one year).

This team is just bad. Can’t think of one good thing to say about them. I can’t believe that the players care about this team either. Miller, Foye and Oberto came to a team that was supposed to be playoff material and a black horse of the East. Young was touted to be a future PG of the franchise, but he is officially bench warmer. Knicks kicked Wizards asses once already this month and I see no reason why they shouldn’t win again. Now I know that the Knicks are capable of losing to any team in the world, because they just can lose all by themselves without any help and that in this league any team can beat any team, so I won’t take it for max units, but still, this is a good bet.

The best part here is that Knicks play Memphis at home next, so if the bet is lost, there will be decent chance to get the money back.



Pick: Knicks to win, 2.15 odds – 3.5 units play - Bwin


Sacramento Kings v Utah Jazz



 27th February 03:05 GMT

No question that Kings suck right now and can’t even make the 1st half Over they used to deliver without problem.
Still, they should connect sooner or later and for that they need to go to their roots and that is to play fast. They can’t stop their rivals on low scores. They just don’t have the players for that and Thompson’s injury doesn’t help either. But they can play fast and well.

Utah on the other hand are a roller coaster. Three Over, then 5 Under and now two Over again. Kings with three Under straight. Time to break that spell.



Picks:

Over 201pts – 1.9 – 1 units play - Expekt

Over 101pts at HT – 1.91 – 1.5 units play - Bet365
