Wednesday Night NBA

Okay got some time for some hoops so let's cover some games......

When Philly lost Cheeks as coach a message was sent out to the team...

“It was good to get a win for all of us,” Iguodala said. “When a change like this happens, it sends a message of uncertainty that you don’t know what might happen next. We’ve got to turn it on.”

They responded with a big win but it was over Washington.

The Bucks however know they need to start winning on the road and that it starts with defense. They did that in Miami. “When you go on the road, you’ve got to be able to guard people,” Skiles said. “You’ve got to be able to guard people to try to win. Tonight we did. Maybe we can build off of this.” The Sixers have dropped five of their last six spread decisions at home and 19 of 27 against conference foes. Conversely, the Bucks have cashed 13 of 16 against conference competition and at a 10-4-1 clip on the highway. Milwaukee is 9-1 ATS off SU win...

Bucks +4

The Celtics and the Hawks go at it again and the Hawks may still be smarting from the 7 game playoff loss but the Celtics are running the league right now. The Atlanta Hawks have established Philips Arena as one of the NBA’s toughest venues to visit this season, winning nine of their first 10 home games - including the last seven. The Hawks have been looking forward to this game and they know its an important one since it is at home.
“If we continue to take care of our home court, we can put ourselves in good position to get ahead of some of the teams in our division,” said Johnson, a former Celtics first-round draft pick. “It’s a big advantage (playing at home), especially when the crowd is up to it.”

The Celtics have come up short in four of their last five trips to Georgia ATS.

Hawks +4

The Pacers finally get some home cooking while the Warriors take to the road. They take to the road in a place they have never played well at. The Warriors have lost and failed in their last three trips to the post and they have dropped eight of their last nine on the road (2-7 ATS). The Pacers snapped a six-game losing streak Monday with a win at Washington, 118-98. Indiana has 'covered' six of seven versus Golden State at Conseco Fieldhouse and six of seven series encounters overall. The Warriors are 6-14 ATS off a double-digit home loss.The warriors are walking into a lions den.

Pacers -6

I hate this next pick. Mainly because they are on the road and they are small chalk which is my first sign to play a home dog but the stats don't lie. The Raptors have been out rebounded in 13 straight games and the Mavericks are off the worst shooting percentage of the year at just 34%. The Mavericks have covered five straight and seven of 10 away from home. Toronto has come up short in nine of 12 ATS at Air Canada Centre. The Mavericks play badly at Toronto but the Dino's are just 8-20 ATS against the west. Dallas is 89-59 ATS Away off BB home games.

Dallas -2

The Jazz go to NJ looking to avenge the worst loss of the season and it was at home. The Nets don't play well at home so this could set up well for the Jazz but I am on the total. In watching the nets this year on several occasions they have a tendency to score plenty of points against a team like the Jazz and the Jazz are off a horrible shooting performance so that will lead to plenty of points.
