Tommy Gold's NBA 2010.01.20 Picks

NBA 2010.01.20 final 12 picks:

Miami Heat @ Charlotte Bobcats: Charlotte Bobcats -4 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

Miami Heat @ Charlotte Bobcats: Under 191 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

Bobcats are playing very well at home, being one of the best teams at home. They will face a team that can do their best and their worst, and depend too much on Wade. Here, Bobcats can easily neutralize Miami team, and Wade isn't enough to make Heat discuss this game.

Indiana Pacers @ Orlando Magic: Over 210 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

Pacers are with their full strenght, and will have to make everyone believe that the last game was a mistake. Orlando also needs to show that they can play pretty well, and will probably allow a fast pace.

Portland Trail Blazers @ Philadelphia 76ers: Philadelphia 76ers PK -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

Blazers are being inconsistent since their injuries curse appears. They can play well, however, I can't see them to have any advantage in Philadelphia, as 76ers can play a fast game, and use size in the paint.

Boston Celtics @ Detroit Pistons: Under 187 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

Garnett still out of the game, and Detroit still playing a bad game. This is a bad contest, with two teams that will make this matchup a matchup to see who can play worst.

Memphis Grizzlies @ New Orleans Hornets: Memphis Grizzlies +3.5 -110 (1.91) 5Dimes

Memphis Grizzlies @ New Orleans Hornets: Memphis Grizzlies ML +135 (2.35) The Greek

Hornets are great at home, it's true. But they are to soft to face a hot team like Grizzlies right now. Grizzlies are confident, playing well and without fears. Hornets have CP3, but he will not be able to make the diference, and Memphis will dominate in the paint.

Toronto Raptors @ Milwaukee Bucks: Toronto Raptors ML +120 (2.20) Bookmaker

The best Bucks weapons will not have room today. Jennings is slowing down, and Toronto shows some improvement.

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Minnesota Timberwolves: Minnesota Timberwolves +7 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Minnesota Timberwolves: Minnesota Timberwolves ML +250 (3.50) Bookmaker

Thunders are lead by Durant, and there is no doubt that this young team have talent. However, this line is to high, Wolves players are improving, and they have the experience and the youth to fight for this game.

Utah Jazz @ San Antonio Spurs: San Antonio Spurs -5.5 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

Jazz are a bad road team, and Spurs are playing really well, with a high accuracy. We can expect a blowout loss to Jazz here.

New Jersey Nets @ Phoenix Suns: Over 218 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

Suns needs to win this game, and will make this a true party. Nets can keep the pace for same time, and have good scorers. This will be a big scoring game.

Chicago Bulls @ Los Angeles Clippers: Los Angeles Clippers -3.5 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

Bulls are unpredictable, and Clippers are playing well. At LA, I can't see any chance to Bulls to try this game, they will have to face a strong frontcourt.

*One unit each always. If Toronto Raptors +3 -110 (1.91) shows up in the market, I'll add it! 😉

NBA 2010.01.20 ADDED pick:

Denver Nuggets @ Golden State Warriors: Denver Nuggets -5.5 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

The Nuggets are improving a lot their game and they will "attack" hard this game, while the Warriors only have 4 players with a lot of playing time on their legs, the remaining roster will be filled with players coming from the D-league, and their main scorer are facing physical problems.

*One unit each always.
