NBA – 19.01.2009
Published on 19 January, 2009 | 2 comments from S Georgiev
First of all, I want to say hello to all of our visitors and hope you will spend enjoyable and profitable time in our site.
For today I will offer you picks for some NBA matches, but because one of them starts in 22:30 I will give you short analyses.
Los Angeles Clippers – Minnesota Timberwolves
LA Clippers are the team with the weakest form in NBA and they were with 12 straight losses, before they managed to beat Milwaukee Bucks (101:92). This streak was caused by the large number of injured players in their team – Chris Kaman, Mike Taylor, Zach Randolph, Baron Davis, Jason Hart (who is questionable for tonight) and the latest who joined them – Marcus Camby. With the injury of Camby, Clippers lost the man who was rebounding for them, and when we add the missings of their top scorers Kaman, Randolph and Davis, and their main assistent Baron Davis, they are in very bad position for the game versus Timberwolves. Minnesota are in very good form for the class of the team, and recorded 7 wins in last 10 matches. Al Jefferson and Randy Foye are really on fire and I expect another good performance from them tonight. Minnesota are also 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9, so I think that they will cover without problem.
Pick: Timberwolves (-6) @1.90
FT: Clippers 86:94 Minnesota, Pick WON
Memphis Grizzlies – Detroit Pistons
I can’t imagine how Pistons have 5 straight losses and I think that this streak has to end tonight. Pistons have in their squad really world class players like Allen Iverson, Richard Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and Tayshaun Prince and one very young and very talented player – Rodney Stuckey. And if they don’t win tonight versus much weaker than them Memphis, I can’t see when this will happen. Memphis are in really bad form with 9 losses in 10 matches and also 5 of them are straight. So one of the teams will break his bad streak and I think that this will be Detroit who will be very motivated to crush their opponents and prove that they are still one of the best NBA teams. Darko Milicic is out for the Grizzlies while Quinton Ross and Darrell Arthur are questionable. The Pistons have no missing so the spread offer by the bookies is very likely for them to cover.
Pick: Pistons (-4) @1.90
FT: Memphis 79:87 Detroit, Pick WON
Los Angeles Lakers – Cleveland Cavaliers
The big derby in NBA tonight. MVP Kobe Bryant vs. The King LeBron James. Cleveland despite their perfect home record (20-0) are not playing good on the road and they are with 11 wins and 7 losses. Tonight they travel to one of the worst-to-visit halls after their own – Staples Center, where Lakers are recorded 20 wins and only 3 losses. One of them came in their last home game when they hosted the best visitors in the whole League – Orlando Magic, when LA lost with 6 points – 103:109 and I don’t think that Kobe and co. will give another win to the visiting team, and they will battle hard. The big problem for the Cavaliers will be the missings of Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Delonte West. Without their Big Z, there will be less problems for Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol in the paint, while Delonte West made some really good matches before the injury and his missing will be a huge blow for them. I expect Kobe Bryant to lead his team to one “historical victory” as Lakers haven’t won last 5 vs. the Cavs. Also the hendicap is not so big for Lakers to cover it and I trust that they are able to do it.
Pick: Lakers (-5) @1.90
FT: Lakers 105:88 Cleveland, Pick WON
Good Luck.
