Happy holidays , lots of luck and all the best wishes for the next year ! Enjoy !

The good pick from yesterday makes me believe that we re back on the track , at least to finnish the year on a good run .
We ll continue the free NBA tips with tonight games , the main pick is from Cleveland Cavaliers – Los Angeles Lakers .

Lakers beat the Bulls in their last match – 103-91 -and have had two days rest before this match,the Cavs after losing now travel back to Cleveland for this match. The lakers this season are 7-4 against the spread on the road while the Cavs are 3-8 against the spread at home, b2b matches for the Cavs and it gets even worse with the Cavs only winning 2 of their 7 back to back matches this season. The Cavs shooting percentages are dropping with each game while the Lakers have remained consitent throughout the season and are still sitting at 50% from the field.
The Lakers are living off 3 point shots and are shooting and sinking on average 8 per game while the Cavs are averaging 4 per game and dropping,and last but not least the Lakers and Cavs are both conceeding the same amount of points from their opponents 101 points but the cavs average less than 9 points to the Lakers average game total.
These two teams couldn’t be going in more opposite directions. The Cavs just suffered the gravest embarassment an NBA team can face these days in getting blown out by the Bricks.

“I’m embarrassed,” Brown said. “Our defense this year has been very, very bad. Defensively, this is one of the worst performances that I’ve been a part of and that starts with me. I don’t think it can get any worse than this.”

“There’s not much to say,” said Ilgauskas , who had seven points and four rebounds. “It was a terrible performance from top to bottom. From the beginning till the end, we didn’t show up to play.”
Also , looks like Lebron had a small arguement with coach Brown during the Knicks game , a lot of tension and nerves coming from the Cavs . I think Lebron can t handle the Lakers on his own and Cle will fall apart tonight again.
So , the first NBA tip for the day is :

Play Lakers-2 @1,91 only at Pinnacle

Another NBA free tip for today , we ll move to the East Coast for a game in the Atlantic Division . Tonight at 07:00 P.M. EST in Verizon Center , the between Washington vs. Chicago .
A really weird thing going on with the Wizards – they have only 9 active players . If Butler and Jamieson have both been ill this week as certain sources announced … this might be a chance to lay them tonight . Definetly , not the best position for the hosts . Arenas,Daniels,Thomas all out for the Wizards,Butller and Jamison struggling with a virus could spell the end of the golden run for the Wizards,Stevenson has been good of late for the Wizards but he is no Butler or Jamieson and if indeed those two players are struggling with a virus then really the Bulls should win this match tonight.
Chicago (8-14) looks for a third straight win over Washington, it must bounce back from a 103-91 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers last night . They played pretty good , excepting the first quarter , when they got slaughtered .
Luol Deng had 26 points and seven rebounds, and Kirk Hinrich added 17 points with eight assists for Chicago, which has alternated wins and losses over its last six contests. Deng has played well lately, averaging 27.5 in his last two contests. He averaged 19.8 points and 8 rebounds versus the Wizards last season.
The Bulls have won their last two against the Wizards and 4 of their last 5 against them,also in matches back to back this season the Bulls have averaged 100 points and against Washington .
I see the Wizards cracking up tonight , so my NBA free tip for the day is :

Play Chicago +4.5 @ 1.95 only at Pinnacle

* If you want , you can modify the actual line by adding or retrieving points , option availble at Pinnacle a very useful way to maximize the profit *

We re ready for a new week of NBA betting , so , today Monday we have a really good chance to bounce back after last week bad luck . The first game of the week is Atlanta vs. Utah .
This month was a little bit of a struggle for the Jazz . A long series of loses and the team is now at 14W – 11L .
They had lost six straight overall before beating Seattle 96-75 at home on Saturday, limiting the SuperSonics to nine fourth-quarter points. The Jazz give up 99.5 points on average, but allowed 109.6 per game in their last five losses away from home.
Against Atlanta – Jazz have been dominant in recent years. They’ve won nine in a row in the series – including four in Atlanta – by an average of 14.4 points.

Atlanta (11-12) after a three game losing streak bounce back with a 93-84 victory over Charlotte on Saturday. Joe Johnson scored 31 points for the Hawks, who have not beaten the Jazz since 2002.
For Atlanta was a hard time with so many injuries – also today they ll miss Claxton , Lue , Stoudamire .

Overall , i see the advantage for the visitors , so today s NBA fee tip is :

Play Utah -4.5 @1,96 only at Pinnacle

* If you want , you can modify the actual line by adding or retrieving points , option availble at Pinnacle a very useful way to maximize the profit *

After such a disappointment , with two picks lost by half a point each in during this week , we ll try to change the luck in our favor with one of the best options of the day . I m still thinking at L Odom missing those free throws on Thursday night with 10 sec to go … but life goes on .

Today s game it s a battle from the West conference : Houston vs Dallas .

Dallas is finally healthy, with no injuries. And for the first time last night, Avery had an entire roster to pick from. They finally played a game together to get in the flow of things, and they got a good result. Now they’re playing Houston, without Alston, and T-Mac’s arm is still hurt. You’ve seen how Houston has really struggled with him out of the lineup. Rod Steele made some points a few night ago at how he helps spread the floor out and creates space for T-Mac and Ming to operate. The back up point guards are not even close to as good, as James usually will either pull up for a 3 or drive to the rim. And Francis hasn’t learned the offense well enough to run it either.

These guys played a few weeks ago, and Dallas came on top, stepping on the gas in the fourth quarter resulting in a monster run to beat the Rockets. Now you have George and Jones back. George, Jones and Hassell should be able to guard T-Mac well, and they have the ability to score too, which is a plus. Hopefully Diop and Dampier can contain Ming.

Jason Terry scored 25 points and reserve Jerry Stackhouse added 16 to lead the Dallas Mavericks past the New Orleans Hornets 89-80 last night . After giving up an average of 112 points in three games last week, the Mavericks had their best defensive performance since holding Portland to 80 on Nov. 30.

In summary, the Mavs have a lot more fire power this time around, and can play defense. The Rockets historically depend more on a stifling defense, and Adelman is trying to make them more offensive minded, but they’re not close to consistent yet.
No doubt , i have to say it , i will always take the points for Dallas , maybe only in special cases i won t . But tonight , the free NBA pick is :

Play Dallas +3 @1,93 only at Pinnacle

* If you want , you can modify the actual line by adding or retrieving points , option availble at Pinnacle a very useful way to maximize the profit *

* We ll come up with more picks later in the day ! Check it again !

*************late update*********************

The second play of the day is from Miami – Indiana game .

Riley has been calling out his team all season after their mediocre efforts this season but after the Thursday game I think there was extra disappointment in his voice because of how well the Heat had played at the back end of their West Coast trip. Him and the players probably thought that they had turned the corner only to come up with a lethargic performance first game after the road trip.

After losing five straight games at the start of December, including the first four of a road trip, the Heat closed the stretch with wins over the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns. Miami, however, got off to a slow start Thursday in a 104-91 loss to the Washington Wizards (they scored just 16 points in the opening quarter) and fell to an Eastern Conference-worst 2-7 at home. Shaq’s effort was just pathetic – he’s taken 10 shots or less in each of his last nine games. He entered the season getting nearly 18 a game over his career.
Considering that Miami is averaging 93 ppg and they are favorites for this game the NBA free pick for this game is :

Play UNDER 207 @1,93 only at Pinnacle

Good luck everyone !

After a day break day , we re back with another NBA free tip . Today we have only 2 games in the league , and the chosen game is Los Angeles Lakers – San Antonio Spurs .

With Duncan expected to be sidelined again, the Spurs look to avoid losing two straight for the first time this season when they visit the Lakers on Thursday night.
Against against Golden State on Tuesday night, San Antonio’s five-game winning streak came to end with a 96-84 loss. Ginobili, averaging 20.8 points per game, was held to 13 on 4-for-14 shooting after recording consecutive 37-point performances.

The LAkers are doing good lately . Bynum is averaging 12.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in nine games as a starter. He matched a career high with 20 points and also had 11 rebounds and five blocked shots versus the Warriors in a 123-113 win . Also , Ronny Turiaf is expected to comeback on the Lakers bench .

I’ll take the rested Lakers tonight. Spurs wanna go back home. Parker is prob hearing an earful from Eva about this whole cheating scandle about him and some other chick. Manu says his hand is swollen and does not know why, go get it checked Gino…Unless Bonner goes for 50+ and 40 boards tonight, the Lakers should win quite easily .
The latest gossip on the net today : Parker will miss tonight s game due to a family issue with his wife .
The line should go up to about 6 or more by game time , so today s free NBA tip is :

Play Lakers -5.5 @ 1,94 only at Pinnacle

* If you want , you can modify the actual line by adding or retrieving points , option availble at Pinnacle a very useful way to maximize the profit *

Two picks for today , hopefully the bad streak will stop today , no others comments , just simple NBA free tips .

The first game is Atlanta vs. Toronto
The Hawks are led by Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, who combined for 49 points in a 98-87 win at Orlando on Monday night. That was a pretty big surprise . But they gonna manage to do the same thing at home back to back ? I think NO .
Toronto received a great boost from Chris Bosh, who was outstanding in his return to the Raptors’ lineup . Also , tonight A Bargnani will be ready to comeback and play . TJ Ford is already in the lineup and will share minutes with the Spanish wizard J Calderon .
Bosh, who is averaging team highs of 18.9 points and 8 rebounds, had missed five games with a strained groin. He returned Sunday and had 21 points and 10 rebounds as Toronto beat Houston 93-80. Bargnani is averaging 11.9 points and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 45.2 percent (28-for-62) from 3-point range.
With so much energy from his returning players i see the Raptors having the first chance tonight .
Toronto has taken two straight games in the series and seven of the last 10 matchups.
So , the NBA free tip for this game is :

Play Toronto -3 @ 1,97 only at Pinnacle

The second selection is from Washington vs. Minnesota

Randy Wittman – the Wolves coach – returns to the sidelines after a three-game absence as the Timberwolves begin a quick East Coast road trip with a matchup against the Washington Wizards.
The Wizards also won 105-89 at Minnesota on Nov. 16, behind 29 points from Caron Butler. That contest was also the last for Wizards star Gilbert Arenas, who scored 27 in his final game before undergoing a second surgery on his left knee.
Butler helped Washington (10-10) to another win Sunday night, scoring 20 of his 28 points in the second half of a 104-89 home victory over New Jersey. Antawn Jamison added 22 points and 10 rebounds as the Wizards improved to 3-1 on their five-game homestand.
I see a really low scoring game tonight , and i really don t think that Butler will make a special game against the Wolves . The visitors will try to defend as much as they can – maybe the way they managed to keep the mighty Suns at 93 points on Saturday .
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Minnesota’s last 8 games on the road .
So the free tip for this game is :

Play under 197 points @1,93 only at Pinnacle

Good luck and enjoy it !

Things are not working pretty good lately , so we need to speed up our game for the next two weeks . The NBA season is running quite well so , i think we should come up with more than one selection per day . We ll provide as always free NBA tips , and today we have some nice picks for you .

The first NBA free tip is coming for the game between Phoenix vs. Miami.

This game is like David and Goliath – but who s gonna win ? Nash and the Suns – looking to bounce back from a loss to the NBA’s worst team – play their first home game of the month Monday when they host the Heat. The Suns, though, had a five-game overall winning streak snapped after a 100-93 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who entered the game just 2-15.
No doubt that Phoenix will win tonight s game , but the spread it s at 11-12 , and i m not really confortble with that .
Miami (5-15) is one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NBA at 92.0 points per game, but guard Dwyane Wade has helped the Heat find a rhythm of late. The Heat have averaged 105.0 points their last four games, and the offensive surge finally paid dividends in a 100-94 victory Sunday over the Los Angeles Clippers that snapped a five-game losing streak. But how long Wade can score 35 points per game , especially on a back to back . Is there anyone else at Miami who cand support him ? the answer is NO .
Shaquille O’Neal added eight points and eight rebounds in 33 minutes in last night game , but again sat out down the stretch as Riley used Alonzo Mourning the final 1:07. O’Neal, who was critical of teammates earlier in the week for not getting him the ball more, has averaged just 9.4 points his last five games and 14.6 for the season – well off his career mark of 25.7 points per game. Looks like the old days have passed away for Shaq – he wasn t capable to score none of his 4 free throws .
In none of the last 10 games between those two teams the total went over 217 points. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Phoenix’s last 5 games when playing Miami .
So , the free tip for this game is :

Play under 217 @1,91 only at Pinnacle

The second selection for today is from Sacramento vs. Milwaukee .

The Kings are a really good team at home ,this season, they are 7-2 overall on their home court. Unluckly K Martin got injured and they failed to reach 100 points and dropped two games since Martin suffered the injury, following a 97-87 home defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night with Saturday’s 101-97 loss at Denver. John Salmons, who is averaging 15.2 points, had 25 to lead the Kings and Beno Udrih added 24 against the Nuggets. The game against Nuggets was a really close one , but Francisco Garcia missed a 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds left that would have given Sacramento a 100-99 lead .
Milwaukee, which has dropped seven of its last eight games overall , and lost last night in OT against Portland . Michael Redd, who was coming off a season-best, 41-point performance in Friday’s loss to Seattle, added 18 points. Redd is averaging 24 points per game.
I see Artest taking control of the game , with a big support from Udrih , and the Kings getting a nice win against a tired Bucks team .
So the free tip for the Kings game is :

Play Sacramento -4,5 @ 1,91 only at Expekt

Good luck tonight and stay tuned for more NBA free tips !

A few reasons to worry after a bad start , but we have another NBA tip for you today , hopefully a winning one . We ll continue to play the Spurs , in their home game . So , today s free NBA tip is from San Antonio vs. Utah .

Amazing win by the Spurs against the mighty Mavs this week. Without Duncan , but with an unbelievable Ginobili they managed to get a 2 point win . Ginobili, who was a game-time decision after bruising his finger against Portland, scored a season-high 37 points to go along with six assists and four rebounds to lead San Antonio (16-3) to a 97-95 win. Duncan sprained his right knee and ankle in the Spurs’ win against Portland on Sunday.
Even though they re not playing the best basketball possible , Utah average an amazing 107,1 points per game . The team is lead by Deron Williams, who s averaging 19.8 points and 8.9 assists. Carlos Boozer is scoring 24.9 points per game – four above his average from last season – while remaining one of the NBA’s best rebounders, pulling down 11.4 per night.

Overall , the things are like this : Kirilenko should keep Manu in check ,and If Parker goes, Williams should be able to over power him. We gonna see Spurs first loss at home tonight. Jazz by at least 5 points.
So today s free NBA tip is :

Play Utah -1 @2,00 only at Pinnacle

* If you want , you can modify the actual line by adding or retrieving points , option availble at Pinnacle a very useful way to maximize the profit *

Not the best start , but at least there s a lot of space to improve … With so many games today in NBA , hard to make the right choice , but one game stands above all . Dallas Mavericks at San Antonio Spurs .

Duncan sprained his right ankle in Sunday’s 100-79 win over Portland and will surely be missed against the Mavericks. The Spurs will look to avenge that loss by turning to Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker to make up for Duncan’s absence. Ginobili had 25 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and three steals in the first meeting with Dallas, and Parker anchored the San Antonio offense with 27 points on Sunday. Oneof the latest news says that M Ginobili will miss the game , with a finger injury jammed index finger on his shooting hand (left) .
In this case , the Spurs are pretty much in trouble .
The Mavericks are hoping to win five straight against the Spurs for the first time since taking nine in a row in the series from Jan. 2, 1988-Feb. 20, 1989. Dallas is one of only three teams to defeat San Antonio this season, shooting 52.1 percent from the field in a 105-92 victory on Nov. 15.
Dallas held San Antonio to a season-low 40.0 percent shooting in that game.
Howard led the Mavericks with 23 points in the win over San Antonio on Nov. 15. Nowitzki added 17 points, and is averaging 26.3 while shooting 51.9 percent from the field during Dallas’ win streak against the Spurs. Devin Harris will play tonight .

SO , a great chance for the MAvs to win against the Spurs without Duncan and Ginobili , so today s free NBA tip is :

Play Dallas -3 to win at @1,85 only at Pinnacle

* If you want , you can modify the actual line by adding or retrieving points , option availble at Pinnacle a very useful way to maximize the profit *

The line is very fragile , so be careful what you choose , don t take nothing below MAvs -5
