Nba Free Predictions - April 30, 2008
Yes, this may sound like sour grapes. It is. No matter what lead we have this year in the playoffs, it never seems safe. Again, New Orleans is up by double-digits most of the game and up by 15 points late and somehow missed the cover. An 88% free-throw shooter in Pargo misses two free throws with 1:25 left (satistical chances of that? 1.44%) to spoil the cover AND the OVER. Utah was a bad pick. We move on with one pick tonight...
Today's NBA Basketball Picks:
Game: Washington at Cleveland (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on First Half UNDER 93.5 -110 (risk 3 to win 2.7)
Get rid of the Wizards already. Unless you are from Washington, how can you like this team? They have proven themselves to be trash talking thugs. And losing ones at that. DeShawn Stevenson took out LeBron last game and then charged him. It should have been LeBron charging this pretender. While we like Cleveland to end this thing tonight, we are going to make our play on the first-half UNDER. In the first four games, there have been 91.3 points scored in the first half. The Cavs are all about defense in the playoffs and in an important closeout game, we think they bring it tonight. This team is 25-17 UNDER at home this season. In the playoffs, they are allowing only 44.7 per game. Over their last 23 home games, they are 16-7 to the first-half UNDER. When favored at home by 2-3 points on the first-half line, they are 28-15 UNDER the past three seasons. This season they are 25-14 UNDER in the first half vs. winning teams. The Wizards are 31-16 UNDER in the first half as an underdog this season including 21-10 as a dog of 3.5 to 9.5 points. Overall they are 30-13 UNDER in the first half on the road , 16-6 UNDER in division games and 25-14 UNDER vs. winning teams. We look for another defensive battle with the first-half coming in under 94 points.
