MIL +10 at OKC
I read an article earlier this morning about how Jason Kidd forced the Bucks to take daily tests over various basketball related things. Meanwhile Westbrook and Durant are putting together their post game outfits. And while the talent of OkC might win this game in the end, the Bucks are way too prepared to be getting ten points.

TOR (+6) at CLE
The Raptors may be without talented two-guard Super Demario Derozan, but they are certainly not out of the running to be the East's top team. The Raps have maintained their high scoring offense thanks to the likes of Lou Williams, Kyle Lowry and a host of role players, such as Patrick Patterson, stepping up. Let's not forget, this roster is well put together! These guys know how to play with each other and the Cavs, despite playing a few good games recently, still need to work out some kinks. Kyle Lowry is going to make Kyrie play like Raymond Felton, so expect a frustrated LeBron to stand on the perimeter most of the night like a confused duck in heat.
POR (-8) at DET
For all this talk about the 76ers being terrible, the Pistons HAVE to be the most disappointing team of the year. They have 3 wins and haven't won a game in over 3 weeks!!! Now they have been able to keep it close, but these guys have a veteran, highly touted coach, a roster full of highly regarded talent and a goal of making the damn playoffs!! At this point they need to make some trades, start accumulating picks and plan for the future. Portland on the other hand has been as consistent as ever. Lamarcus Aldridge is once again killing it and with Dame Lillard back in form, the Blazers should contend for the 2 or 3 seed out West. Side note: Can you imagine if this team had been in LA over the last few years? We would be talking about Aldridge as a LOCK for the HOF, Lillard as the most dynamic point guard in the league, Wes Matthews would be defensive player of the year somehow! Expect the determined and just plain better Blazers to win by 50 at least.

Philadelphia @ Columbus (-125)
Columbus heads into tonight with 3 straight wins under their belt. Philly has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons; they can't win, their GM hates their players, and the coach is pissed off. Basically the triple play death combo for any organization. Columbus rolls at home tonight and keeps the streak going.
Chicago -1.5 (+150) @ New Jersey
Chicago has been on fire. 5-0 in their last 5 games, scoring 19 goals and only giving up 7. They're dominating right now. They should have no problems with the Devils tonight.
Los Angeles @ Buffalo (+175)
Once again the Kings are an average hockey team. This seems to be their mean location. Every couple of years they surge to the top at the right time but always fall back to the middle. I like the Sabers at home here.
Calgary (+110) @ Toronto
Like Mitt Romney or the 12 gauge sitting in my closet, Calgary on the road just feels right to me.
Vancouver (+105) @ Montreal
Montreal is slipping while Vancouver is hanging in there in a brutal West battle. If Cryin Ryan is in net for the Nucks tonight consider it game over. Canucks on the road.
Washington @ Tampa (-180)
The Caps are a couple losses away from being just straight garbage. Tonight will be one of those losses.
Smashville (-160) @ Colorado
Smashville is on their game right now. Colorado is tanking like the 76ers. All that talk of MacKinnon being the next Crosby sure did die out quickly... Where ya at Avs fans? Nashville is going to go Smashville on Colorado.
