At 7:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the ‘under’ in the Spurs/Cavaliers game. On Friday night, this looked like a heckuva match-up on paper. The Spurs have just started to play their best basketball of the season, while the Cavaliers have been the league’s best team. But then, on Saturday, San Antonio’s 2nd leading scorer, point guard Tony Parker, broke a bone in his hand, and will miss the rest of the regular season. And coach Mike Brown decided to rest LeBron James against Milwaukee (in part because of a gimpy ankle), and the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that James may sit out tonight’s game vs. the Spurs as well. With all this star power (and fire power) on the sidelines tonight, the rotations will be a bit messed up, and I look for the offensive efficiency of each team to suffer a bit. After all, both teams run their offenses thru Parker and James. Let’s play on the Cavs and Spurs to sail ‘under’ the total tonight.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. New Jersey Nets

Going with the worst team in the NBA against one of the best teams but the Nets have a strong history in this series and they have been playing some of their best basketball of the season as of late. They have covered four straight in this series and they have also covered in 22 of the last 30 meetings. Although it hasn’t been evident in their ATS results lately the Nets have been playing better and have been keeping games close and have just missed on covering a couple lines recently and they did get that big win in Boston last weekend. If Cleveland has had a weakness lately it has been going on the road where they have dropped two of their last four and they needed OT to get by the Raptors in another. Also think the Cavs might come in and not give 100% as this game is on the road and this is an opponent that they will probably take lightly.
New York Knicks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
Free NBA Pick: New York Knicks +12 (March 1st 2010 – Big Al McMordie)

At 7:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the New York Knicks plus the points over Cleveland. The Cavs have won both meetings vs. New York this season, but each victory has been rather close. Cleveland beat New York 113-106 on February 6, as a 12-point home favorite, and also defeated the Knicks 100-91 at Madison Square Garden back in November. Overall, the Cavs have won seven straight in this series, but the last four have all been by single-digits. And I expect another close game tonight. Although the Knicks have dropped nine of their last 10 games straight-up, most have been close defeats, with only two of the 10 coming by margins larger than tonight’s 12-point spread. And since 2006, New York is a solid 25-5 ATS as an underdog of +10 or more points, if its opponent is off a straight-up win, including a perfect 13-0 ATS if its foe won by 10 points or less in its last game. With Cleveland in off an 8-point overtime win at Toronto, this game falls into our 13-0 tightener. Take New York. Good luck, as always…Big Al McMordie.
Al McMordie, unfortunately, lost his NBA play last night on the Atlanta Hawks, but has zeroed in on a great situation on Monday’s card that’s 100% PERFECT since 1998. It’s 11-0 ATS, and the 12th STRAIGHT WINNER has B-L-O-W-O-U-T written all over it. Pick it up right now, and get your week off to a F-A-S-T start!
