Nba Handicapping - February 12, 2009Last night's NBA action added +2.2 units to our three-month NBA run as we finished 3-2. During that time we are hitting at 58%, 167-120 (+102.7 units). Three plays today.
 Today's NBA Basketball Picks: The Bulls have finally awakened and are playing their best basketball in two years. They followed a successful 4-3 road trip with a win at home over the Pistons. They have now gone 7-0-1 ATS in their last eight games, and for the first time this season they have scored 100+ in six straight games. The Heat has covered just two of their last seven games. They are struggling offensively, as they have been held to 87 points per game in their last three and it shows, as they are 0-4 ATS when their opponent is off a 100+ game. The Heat hasn't had any success in Chi-town as they are a miserable 2-8-1 ATS their last 11 trips here. The Bulls win this one and I'm taking them on the moneyline. Game: Boston at Dallas (9:30 PM Eastern) Pick: 4 units on Dallas +2.5 (-110) (risk 4 to win 3.6) Dallas is playing on a high level right now as they are winners in six of their last seven. What has gone unnoticed with this team is their domination at home. They started the season a dismal 0-4 at home, but have since gone 17-3, with one of the three losses was in OT. They were hammered in Boston 124-100 a few weeks ago, and they will be focused here to get revenge. The Celtics, as good as they are, have struggled against the really good teams on the road losing to Portland, Cleveland, and LA. This has been a dog-based series with the dog capturing five of the last seven. With the way the Mavs have been playing at home, I gotta take them here with the points. Game: Portland at Golden State (10:30 PM Eastern) Pick: 4 units on Portland +3.5 (-110) (risk 4 to win 3.6) The Warriors are getting a huge bounce here off their 144-point explosion against the Knicks. They are still not good in this role as they are just 6-9 ATS as a favorite. They are way overpriced here as they have not been favored over any winning team since November 5, before the teams settled to where they would ultimately be. Portland has not been an underdog all season on the road against a team with a losing record on the season. The Blazers are a young team and solid in the second of back-to-back nights at 12-5 ATS. The Warriors show inconsistency after a win as they are 13-43-1 ATS in their next game. We have a live dog here, and Portland gets the call. NBA Basketball Picks Resources:
