PC, nice grab on the Magic last night and good overall NBA night! Orlando has actually surprised me with the way it has played this year, but I have to see what this team is all about when it comes to the playoffs. The Magic have been nothing but a regular season team up to this point. We will see if they have what it takes to compete with the two big dogs when it counts.

NEW JERSEY +7 (I see the Celts ATS road woes continuing here with the Nets maybe sneaking out a win)

MIAMI +4 (the Rockets need McGrady and Artest back soon or they are in a lot of trouble; the pub. is smashing the Rockets here and the line isn't moving up.....yet; that low line should tell us all something)

DENVER +1 (the Magic have killed me so far this season but Denver is always a tough place to play on the second of back-to-back games; Orlando has been dynamite on the road but the Nuggets have been just as stellar at home; even without Melo, I think they get it done; it's amazing how much better this team is with Chauncey on the squad)

L.A. CLIPPERS +3.5 (they are all banged up, but they are still hanging around in half of their games during this 12 game losing streak to almost all playoff teams; Thornton has been a beast this year and Gordon has had a solid start to his NBA career; I like the Clips in this spot, catching the up-and-down Bucks on back-to-back road games)
