[TommyGold]

NBA 2010.01.04, final 4 picks:

Atlanta Hawks @ Miami Heat: Under 195.5 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

New Orleans Hornets @ Utah Jazz: Utah Jazz -7.5 -110 (1.91) The Greek

Portland Trail Blazers @ Los Angeles Clippers: Los Angeles Clippers -3.5 -110 (1.91) The Greek & Over 189.5 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker


New Orleans Hornets @ Utah Jazz

Both teams are making a median season, and forgetting the beginning that Hornets had, none of the teams are achieving more than 2 losses in a row. These are the kind of teams that have aspirations to go to playoffs, but there is no doubt that they need to improve and be more regular.

Jazz are well known for their strength at home. Despite 2 losses in last 3 home game, this team have a record of 12-5 at home, and when they are concentrated, they usually won any team. At home, this team is very balanced, scoring around 105 points per game and allowing 97 points per game. With Deron distributing the ball, and with sized and atletics mens on the paint, this team can be very strong, specially against teams that are not so balanced.

Hornets are the kind of team that when they lost, they usually lost by many. This team depends to much on CP3, and more important this year, the biggest factor to know if they will win, is the motivation. When they are motivated, they can fight the game and usually win, but if they start to miss and see the opponent get some distance, they usually get disoriented. The is easily seen on road game, where the team is 2-13. With fans of the other teams pulling them down, this team simple can't work.

Today, in one of the worst arenas to play for any team, in Salt Lake City, it's hard to see any motivation for Hornets. And they can't get motivation, they will have a blow out loss. Jazz can easily blow out their opponents at home, as they get well motived by their public, and fire a lot. Despite Hornets have CP3, is not in the guard position that we have biggest different. In the paint, is hard to see Okafor, West and Pedrag facing Milssap, Boozer and Okur. And even in the bench, Utah is better.

Pick: Utah Jazz -7.5 -110 (1.91) The Greek
