Friday's Picks

Lakers-1 vs Denver: In La's last five game's they are just 1-4 ATS and are giving up 100 ppg during that stretch. Denver on the other hand comes into the game 4-1 ATS in their last 5. Carmelo Anthony exploded in his last game scoring 35 points and adding 7 rebounds, now that the trade talks have died down melo may be more focused. The problem for me is that Denver doesn't play any defense, giving up 100 points in 6 of their last 10 games. With the line being only 1 its a safe bet to take Kobe and the Lakers to beat Melo and the Nuggets.
Pick: Lakers

Knicks +9 vs Spurs: The last time these two teams met up the spurs got blown out by 13 while also giving up 128 points. Don't expect that same type of defensive performance this time around by San Antonio. The Spurs are 23-2 at home this season and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5. The Knicks on the other hand come in losers of 4 in a row and 5 of their last 6. The Spurs will be looking to avenge that early season beating they received and the fact that they are coming off of a days rest makes this pick a little easier.
Pick: Spurs

Season: 4-6
