Oklahoma City Thunder +11
Sometimes you just got to come back with the same team that you rolled with yesterday. Look, one think you have to learn about Oklahoma City is that they never quit. They were down huge to the Knicks to come back and make it competitive near the end for the cover. The Sixers come off a nice win at Indiana and this comes off the heels of a big win at Toronto. How does this team get up for Oklahoma City? I don't think they do. This is a nice double-digit spread here and it is obvious Vegas is making it very, very difficult for the Sixers here and I will roll with Vegas. Now, is Oklahoma City the best of teams, no. But, they are a team that can shoot the ball well at times, at they come off yet another loss so they will be focused in this game as they have to lose 3 straight cover this year as the spreads are large enough for them to cover road double-digit spreads. They covered an 11.5 spread at Indiana and 12.5 spread @ Utah. Give me the Thunder for the single-digit loss here.
WUNDERDOG
New Jersey at Atlanta
Pick: New Jersey +10.5
After a blistering start, Atlanta is giving out “sell” signs now. They were playing over their heads, and the lines have grown to inflated values. They came out smoking, winning their first four games by an average of over 12 points a game, but have played to reality since as they posted four and five-point wins over their next two and have now suffered back-to-back losses, one coming at the hands of the Nets last night. The Nets have had games with Detroit and Phoenix, and established with lower pointspreads than this. In fact this will be their first time out as a double-digit dog. Atlanta was only a 10+ favorite twice last year, while posted as a 10+ dog five times. The oddsmakers are marking this team's growth off of their fast start, so I'll grab the inflated price here and back the dog.

Indiana Pacers at Chicago Bulls
Prediction: Over
The Pacers are 7-0 OU (12.1 ppg) on the road with no rest off a home loss in which they led at the end of the third quarter and 6-0 OU after a loss at home in which Troy Murphy scored fewer than 10 points. The Bulls are 6-0 OU with at least one day of rest off a win in which they trailed by double digits at the end of the first quarter and 6-0 OU (16.5 ppg) at home after a win in which Ben Gordon played more than 40 minutes. Take Indiana and Chicago OVER.
