I have two for today:
ROLL WITH ME ON ORLANDO -6 1/2 @ home against Seattle.
here's why:
In the last 5 meetings the home team has covered with the average winning margin being 11.2 points a game.
Seattle played at Miami last night and then made the short trip to Orlando after the game. They played well, but couldn't beat a Shaqless team they had been leading all game.
Orlando has a great mentality with outside perimeter shooting, uptempo play, and the inside presence of Howard. I am interested to see if Seattle's depth will show tonight as they try to keep up with the Magic.
Orlando has played well at home with a 2-1 record. They are also ready for this game as they have covered the number against Seattle at home in 4 of the last 5.
With such a high line I think Vegas is going after the "trap" players who say too many points for an offensive minded team like the Supersonics.
Small play on Orlando -6 1/2 @ home against the Supersonics.
PLAY #2 Best Bet: (Almost my GOW but I have that locked in on a Saturday matchup)
ROLL WITH ME ON Denver -10 1/2 @ home against the Knickerbockers. BDogg will tell you that the Knicks are again embroiled with controversy. Francis is out for awhile with a gimp ankle and Denver is desperate for a home win after an 0-2 start.
In the past, Denver owns the Knicks @ the Pepsi center with wins in 4 of the last 5 and covers in the last 3 at home against the Knicks:

Denver seems to be a 20 point winner tonight in my opinion.
GL boyz.
Denver -10 1/2 Best bet and Orlando - 6 1/2 for me.
