Top 5 Stone Cold LOCKS of the day!!

The holidays are over and most of you probably got slaughtered after a tough Christmas Day and even tougher NFL Sunday in gambling circles. Well have no fear, Bobby Catz is here to help you flip the double bird to 2015, and usher in the new year with some stone cold NBA locks....and I guess some hockey picks from Sugar formerly known as a writer for DP.

ATL +2 vs. IND

The Hawks have been on a mean win streak lately mainly due to the improved play of German Rajon Rondo and unexpected reappearance of the regional manager Michael Scott. Winners of their last six, they have surged all the way to second in the east, and if Cleveland continues to take nights off, they could find themselves in the drivers seat before the all-star break. On the other side the Pacers have cooled off considerably since their time spent as the number 2 seed, and PG13 has been playing more like PG12.4 (his scoring average) in the last few games. I like the Hawks to win this game outright, but grab the couple of points while you can.

CLE -8.5 vs. PHX

Cavs have lost two straight and looked like absolute garbage Saturday night in Portland. Guess what they won't do? Lose to a team that just lost their best player in Eric Bledsoe (possibly for the season) and fired two of their assistant coaches. This line could have been -15.5 and I would still take it. Absolute blowout alert tonight in the desert as the Cavs look to get back on track and win this game by thirty easy.

NOP +4.5 vs. ORL

Well it finally happened, after weeks and weeks of taking the points with the Magic and getting easy wins, Vegas readjusted over the Christmas weekend. Now the Magic have been favs in two straight games and look a lot less attractive than they did when they were getting 4-5 a game. The Pelicans have played better lately and look a lot closer to being that team that snagged the 8 seed out west last season then the squad that started off 0-6 this year. The 8th seed is still in play for them, and while I still think they are a trade or two away from competing, they should be able to cover this against Orlando.

DETROIT ML +120 vs. MIN

WAS (-1.5) +180 vs. BUFFALO

I was gonna make a few jokes here about our hockey picks for the day, but I know how rabid hockey fans are and don't feel like getting jumped the next time I attend a Yotes game. So I'll just roll em, for you guys...you dusty benders!!
