I will start today with a pick on Pacers ML. I feel that it's the perfect moment to start betting on Pacers and if they lose, I will bet on them the next game as well. Dunleavy is still out, but Pacers are a solid team that should battle for the playoff spot despite poor start. Many people don't have a belief in Rush and Hibbert, sophomore players, but I really think they can do the job while Foster and Dunleavy are out. Knicks on the other hand without Robinson but it doesn't matter too much (though it doesn't help them I believe). They don't look good so far. This is a team that must shoot with high percentage to be effective and they can't do it so far. Even in the game they won, they shot poorly and won mostly due to Hornets being so bad and not them being good. This is the exact type of games that Knicks have trouble in. Coming from a position of favorite against a team that needs a W and wants it bad. Granger should go off today. Rush and all other Pacers shooters that struggled before, will have a chance to do it today against defensively weak Knicks and after Pacers shot 3 from 22 behind the arc last night, today I expect them to do much much better. Hibbert is a big advantage on David Lee and I believe we will see him with another double double, I believe that against the Knicks, Pacers won't get outplayed that much in the rebound, but for me, it all comes down to shooting the ball and usually, when Pacers shoot the ball well they win and tonight they got a perfect chance to do so and grab the first W of the season. I can only add that last year, road teams took all three lines in the games between the teams and two out of three ended with road win and that if Pacers lose tonight, we got a great chance to still cash in on them, when they will be playing next home against the Wizards. Pacers to win, 2.95 odds - 5 units play.

Well it’s an easy play for me. I’m taking my hat off for the Rockets. They are one of my favorite teams and they did wonders so far winning GSW and Utah on a road and Portland at home. Still having said that, they still a team that lost their top three players. They can do so much against superior teams and Lakers are such team. I would give lots of credit to Brooks, Battier and Skola for the wins of Yaoless Houston against the Lakers, but I think that the heart of the wins was Artest. He really took command over the young team at the time. Still, Lakers went all the way and won the ship, Artest and Ariza switch places and will meet again today. Lakers understand that Artest and his ability to fit with the Lakers is the most important issue in their attempt to win the first B2B title in the league since they themselves did it 8 seasons a go. Helping him to get the W against his former team will help achieving this goal. I mean I can’t see Rockets dealing with the Lakers and no matter front court or back court. Rockets get very nice line due to the hype around them, but it should really come down and start today. Lakers -1.5, 1.94 odds, 8 units play

Hornets have a great chance to finally get their second W of the season. Too many losses and while losses like the loss to Boston and San Antonio on the road are understandable, the almost loss at home to the Kings and the loss to the Knicks should trouble the Hornets. I like going against Dallas today. They were really bad yesterday, but they still won. They were stunned at home by Washington, but won a road both LA teams and than yesterday won over Utah getting over 16 points deficit deep in the 4th. Paul will abuse Kidd as he did in playoffs two years a go and Hornets that desperately needs the win will get it. The line is high so the units are low. Hornets -5, 1.95 odds, 5 units play
