Wendesday NBA Picks

The Return of Bobby Catz!

You know what they say when it comes to gambling, you never quit in a hot streak. Well giving advice when it comes to sports spreads is the same idea. After nailing two bets that didn't make any rational sense last night (HOU at OKC under 217, MIL +14.5) we have another one tonight.

SAC at PHI (+9.5) (L)
If you are the Sixers right now, the thought of finishing out the season without winning another game has to be terrifying. Looking at the schedule from here on out, tonight's home game against the Kings might be their last hope. The Kings are carried by Boogie Cousins and as you know one man can't carry a successful franchise (I'm looking at you fellow writers of DirtiestPicks). Will the Sixers be able to score enough points to score the upset against the Kings? Probably not, but they should be able to keep this one close enough to cover the spread and earn a respectable five point loss.

BK at MIA (-9) (L)
You know when you are walking along at the park and all of a sudden you hear a buzzing sound in your ear and instinctually swat at it? Then all of a sudden it's like a swarm of death is upon you because you just pissed off a wasp? Well tonight Lebron James is that wasp; but instead of a tiny flying insect you have a 6'8 260 lbs grown man that can run like a gazelle and dunk on your face. Lebron hates the Nets, especially KG and Pierce and they have already got the best of him twice this season. Look for a very motivated Lebron to come out gunning tonight and for him to own this game from the tip until the final buzzer. Do not be surprised if   this game ends in a 25 point blowout Heat win.

DAL (-4.5) at UTAH (WINNER!)
Dallas had a rough no show against the Warriors last night, putting their race for the west playoffs in serious jeopardy. Lucky for them the Jazz are not the Warriors. Look for a very motivated Dallas team to come out firing on all cylinders as Dirk Nasty goes for 37 points on an incredibly efficient 12-15 shots.

There we are 3 picks that are solid locks. Even if I go 0-3 that will still be better than fellow writer Sugar's worst night in hockey gambling history last night (0-4).

BJ's Hipster Douche Pick of the Day

POR (+8) @ SA (L)
This is a tough spot for the Hipsters. They're in the midst of a tough road swing and just got beat up by Z-Bo and the fellas lat night in Memphis. The public loves the Spurs tonight, and for good reason. San Antonio. IS. ROLLIN. They are on a 7 game win streak and destroyed Chicago for 3 quarters last night. With both teams coming off grueling, physical games, expect this one to end up close in the end. Let's not forget, the Blazers play the Spurs close, or win, when these teams meet. The Blazers have covered 3 of their last 4 meetings and won twice. The two losses were by 1 and 2 points. Enjoy this one! It could be a playoff preview.
