TOR (-4) vs. IND
I am gonna go head and be the sacrificial pick lamb here. This line looks like a trap, smells like a trap, and definitely has the feel of a trap line. But even after typing that sentence I still find myself thinking its a solid bet. I have had the unfortunate pleasure of watching the Pacers play a couple of times this season, and its not pretty. They do play good defense, but they couldn't score if the ball was a 19 year old sorority pledge at her first kegger. Toronto absolutely wins this game, probably by double digits.
DET (+8.5) vs. CLE
I read an article this morning that if the Cavs are smart they are going to start sitting LeBron and restricting his minutes for the second half of the season. The Cavs know that all they have to do is make the playoffs in the East and they could easily find themselves playing for the title this summer. Don't be surprised if teams like the Pistons keep these games closer than they should be and if the Cavs even drop a few against lesser competition. Throw in the fact that the Pistons have played much better since the exodus of Josh Smith and you have a winning bet combination.
MIL (+2.5) vs. MIA
Not sold on Miami, despite the emergence of Hassan Whiteside. The Bucks length on the perimeter will be the key in this one as the Bucks defend their court and pull off the very minor upset over Miami.
