500-Unit NBA No-Brainer - Miami Heat
The debut of the Miami trio is tonight and it comes at old rival Boston. The debut of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and their lofty expectations will be a good one as they go into Boston and beat the Celtics by about 8 tonight.
This team is talented, obviously, but they’ve got some other pieces to the puzzle as well with hardworking Udonis Haslem and Eddie House and they’ve also got talent in Carlos Arroyo and Mario Chalmers. It’s very important for LeBron to have a big debut with the Heat after all the hoopla made about his decision to leave Cleveland.
Putting up points should be no problem for Miami as long as the Big Three stay healthy. LeBron will also average close to double digits in assists as teams look to stop him and leave Bosh isolated with one defender down low.
Boston brings back its “big three” in Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, but they are just another year older and a step slower. Sure, the Celtics beat the Heat in the playoffs last season, winning 4-1, but this is a completely different Heat team and this is going to play an up-tempo style and not let Boston play at its slow pace.
Adding Shaq O’Neal to the lineup did nothing to help the Celtics’ mobility either.
In this series, the favorite has cashed in 12 of the last 15 meetings and I’m looking for that trend to continue tonight. Play Miami because they really want a good showing on opening night with the Big Three. Lay the chalk and go with the Heat.

Miami has won 14 of the last 18 games as a road favorite and with the new additions over the off-season…look for the new look Heat to make a run at the title this season.

Louisiana Tech has covered the spread in 3 of the last 4 games and they have also won 4 of the last 5 games coming off a bye week.

LA Tech at Boise State
Pick: Boise State -37
I really like Boise State in this game vs LA Tech...this is a shitload of points no doubt but I look for a very big performance tonight from Boise...this team is still sitting on the outside looking in and I don't think this team can climb into the number 1 or number 2 spot in the country unless they continue to win big...K.Moore is a stud and the Bronco offense is clicking on all cylinders...a little rain in the forecast could help slow down this offense but I don't think so...this is a very good defensive team as well and I think they can shut down the offense of LA Tech...Boise is a blowout
