Tuesday NBA: We were unable to find any value in today's card. We're passing! - 1/31

Monday NBA Top Play: Los Angeles Clippers +2. - 1/30

Sunday NBA Picks: Our top play is Minnesota -2. We also like New Orleans at +2.5. - 1/29

Saturday NBA Action: Milwaukee Bucks +5. - 1/28

Friday's NBA Predictions: We're passing today. - 1/27

Thursday Pro Hoops: We're passing today. Short cards usually mean tight lines. We eyeballed the Celtics/Magic game a bit (we were thinking under) but with it being a HUGE revenge angle (Boston just SMOKED Orlando recently), multiple injuries for Boston etc. there's just too many unstable variables. We've decided to pass. Power ratings say that Boston is good value but they don't take into consideration that the Celts are missing their back court (Ray Allen/Rajon Rondo are both OUT) Sometimes passing is your best play. There's never a need to force a bet, as there's "always another game" upcoming. With that being said, check out our college basketball picks section as we've got a 3 unit best bet that we're expecting to win easily. Good luck Fellas! - 1/26

Wednesday's Recap: Our Warriors (-3.5) pick won easily, with G.S. winning by 8 and covering with an extra 4.5 to spare. We handicap the NBA completely different than most sports and are kicking ourselves for not making this a best bet play (yeah, hindsight is always 20/20 lol) because a few key paramters were in play here with their opponent playing their 3rd game in 3 nights, the public one siding the Blazers, it being a road game and the line going up from -3 to -3.5 despite the books not getting much action on Golden State. I gotta be honest, this play wasn't on our radar until we saw the odd line move. That just goes to show that one should leave no stone unturned when hunting for value!

Wednesday's NBA Plays: Golden State Warriors -3.5. - 1/25

Love Gets Some Love: Minnesota has signed big-man Kevin Love to a 4 year contract extension. - 1/25

Tuesday Recap: (0-1) Charlotte got absolutely blasted by the Knicks by 33 points. These two teams HAD played some really tight games in the recent past and the Bobcats were actually a nice value play. (Especially with Melo banged up).

Tuesday's Play: Charlotte +5.5. - 1/24

Monday NBA Plays: Nets/Bulls OVER 187.5, New Orleans Hornets +4.5, Phoenix Suns +6. - 1/23

Atlanta Loses Center: Hawks C Al Horford will miss 3-4 months with a torn pectoral muscle. - 1/12

NBA Lockout Update: The first 2 weeks of the season have been cancelled. Neither set of aholes can come to a compromise as of yet. - 10/11

Note: We won't be reporting on anything having to do with NBA players going overseas. For starters, the whole NBA lockout situation is a load of crap. Second, most of us don't have a clue where half of these teams are located or give a damn if we can't watch it on TV. We will however post updates should we hear anything promising about both sets of crybabies putting anything notable together. - 8/8

T-Wolves Interviewing: Rumors are that former G.S. coach Don Nelson will be interviewing with Minnesota. - 7/23

Big Man Retires: Rockets C Yao Ming has retired. Kind of a sad story to say the least, as he was one of the best big-men to ever step on the court but will miss the prime of his career due to injuries and not being able to stay healthy. - 7/8

Turkey Bound? Nets PG Deron Williams has been quoted as saying that he'll play in Turkey this year if the NBA lockout cancels the 2011-2012 NBA season. - 7/7

Rest in Peace "Hammer" Former NBA player Armon Gilliam has died of a heart attack at age 47. He starred at UNLV and was a GREAT low post scorer for many years. - 7/6

NBA Trade: The Sacramento Kings have traded F Omri Casspi to the Cleveland Cavs for F J.J. Hickson and a conditional 1st round draft pick. - 6/30

Timberwolves to Fire Coach: Word is that coach Kurt Rambis will likely be fired after this year's NBA Draft. Rambis has produced a meager 32-132 record during his tenure in Minnesota. - 6/23

Pre-Draft Rumors: Lots of rumors are flying about the Orlando Magic potentially making a move for Hawks F Josh Smith. Other gossip flying around: Tony Parker may be leaving S.A. Steve Nast may be on the block. - 6/22

Heat to Retain Coach: Miami GM Pat Riley has stated that the team will retain head coach Erik Spoelstra. - 6/21

Sunday NBA Finals Game 6 Pick: Heat -4.5. - 6/12

Thursday NBA Finals Game 5 Play: Dallas Mavericks at a pickem. - 6/9

Tuesday NBA Finals Game 4 Pick: Dallas Mavericks -3. - 6/7

Warriors Name New Coach: Former NBA PG Mark Jackson has been named the new coach of the Golden State Warriors. Jackson is a heady guy that should bring much improvement to the franchise. - 6/7

Game 3: We passed.

Thursday NBA Finals Game 2 Pick: Miami Heat at -4.5. - 6/2

Thanks for the Memories: 15 time All-Star Shaquille O'Neal has retired after 19 seasons. He was flat out dominant during his prime years.

Tuesday NBA Finals Game 1 Pick: Miami Heat -4.5. - 5/31

Wednesday Western Conference Finals Game 5 Pick: Oklahoma City/Dallas OVER 198.5 points. - 5/25

Tuesday Eastern Conference Finals Play: We can't figure this game out. We're going to pass. (It's never a good thing to force a play) - 5/24

Monday NBA Playoffs Prediction: We like the Mavs/Thunder game to go UNDER 196 points. - 5/23

Sunday Eastern Conference Finals Game 3: No value, passing! - 5/22

Western Conference Finals Game 3: Mavericks/Thunder UNDER 200.5 points. - 5/21

Thursday NBA Playoffs Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder/Dallas Mavericks OVER 200.5 points. - 5/19

Trade Rumor: Rumors out of Indiana are that the T-Wolves might be willing to give up their number two pick. Names like Rubio, Granger and Beasley are being tossed around. If something goes down it's believed to be BIG. - 5/19

Wednesday Eastern Conference Finals Game 2 Pick: Bulls -2.5. - 5/18

Cavs Score Big: The Cleveland Cavaliers struck gold Tuesday night when they bucked the odds and won the number 1 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. They also have the 4th pick as well. Many believe the team will make a play on PG Kyrie Irving. - 5/17

Tuesday Western Conference Finals Prediction: Oklahoma City/Dallas UNDER 194. - 5/17

Sunday Heat/Bulls Game 1 Pick: We like the Bulls at -2 here. Look for a home and home series that will likely got all 7 games. - 5/15

Friday: We handicapped this game head to toe and can't find any value on either side. We're uneasy about the total as well, so we're passing. - 5/13

Thursday Playoff Prediction: Atlanta Hawks +3.5. - 5/12

Wednesday's NBA Playoffs Play of the Day: Oklahoma City Thunder at -6.5. - 5/11

Coach Done? Rumors are abound that Lakers HC Phil Jackson will probably not be back to coach the team next year. This was a rumor that had been circulating for quite some time even before the season started, but with the early exit from the playoffs and his lingering knee problems, it's hard to see the 65 year old returning next season. But don't expect him to stay out of the game long.

Thursday NBA Play: Lakers at -1. - 3/10

Thursday NBA Trades: The L.A. Clippers sent Baron Davis and their 2011 1st round draft pick to Cleveland for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon. A great move for the Clips unloading Davis's fat contract and bringing in a guy who doesn't go on the DL every other month! - 2/24

Trade Announcments: The Utah Jazz have traded PG Deron Williams to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for PG Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, two 1st round draft picks and cash. The Nets also sent F Troy Murphy to Golden State for C Dan Gadzuric and PF Brandan Wright. - 2/23

Super Bowl Sunday NBA: Olando Magic +4. - 2/5

Wednesday: We scoured tonight's card high and low but were unable to find any value so we're passing. - 2/2

Tuesday Pro Basketball Pick: Houston Rockets +9 - 2/1

Big Men Hurting: The New Orleans Hornets will be missing Omeka Okafor will be sidelined for a couple weeks with a strained oblique muscle. Orlando Magic F Brandon Bass will miss time with a sprained ankle. It looked ugly, so he could be out for awhile. - 2/1

You're Fired! The Pacers have canned coach Jim O'Brien. - 1/30

Sunday Hoops Selection: Philly 76ers -2. - 1/30

Wednesday Selection: Minnesota T-Wolves at +5.5. - 1/26

Tuesday Play: We like the Wiz at home vs. Denver. Washington is a horrible road team, but actually plays pretty good ball at home. Conversely, the Nuggets don't do well on the road. Washington has a legit shot to win this game straight up. - 1/25

Monday NBA Hoops Pick: We like the Magic at -12 today. Detroit's offense has been anemic lately and the Magic appear to be catching fire. Expect a blowout tonight. - 1/24

Sunday: Only one game on today's card, passing. - 1/23

Saturday NBA Basketball Play: Orlando Magic -3. - 1/22

Friday NBA Pick: We like the Detroit Pistons at +2. Good luck! - 1/21

Bobcat Sidelined: Charlotte F Tyrus Thomas will miss the next 2 months with a tear in his meniscus. - 1/21

Thursday NBA Selection: We're on the Clippers at +3.5 against the Blazers tonight. The Clips are actually playing some decent ball lately. The Blazers had to travel last night (which is an underrated variable when handicapping games) and while they've been winning some games lately, those wins have come vs. some of the weakest teams in the NBA. The likely result here is a close game with the Blazers winning the game straight up but the Clippers covering and getting the money. - 1/20

Wednesday NBA Play: We're taking the 76ers at +9.5 vs. the Orlando Magic for MULTIPLE UNITS. We're putting a half unit on the Sixers on the moneyline at +425 as we feel that they're a live dog in this spot. Good luck! - 1/19

Wednesday NBA News and Notes: The Blazers continue to be plagued with injuries. This time it's C Marcus Camby, who will miss 4-5 weeks after having surgery on his meniscus. The NJ Nets have reportedly dropped out of trade talks for Carmelo Anthony. Jazz PG Deron Williams is expected to play tonight despite having a stomach flue. - 1/19

Tuesday: We're passing today. There's only 2 games on the card and we couldn't find any value on either the sides or totals. - 1/18

Monday NBA Pick: We like the Minnesota Timberwolves at +7.5 to cover on the road at Portland. - 1/17

Sunday: We're passing today. There's only 2 games on the card and neither have any betting value. - 1/16

Saturday NBA Basketball Pick: Houston Rockets/Atlanta Hawks OVER 203.5. - 1/15

Friday Play: Milwuakee Bucks at +4.5 to cover on the road at Philly. - 1/14

Brandon Roy Update: The All Star had surgery on both knees and will likely miss at least 6 weeks. He's got major meniscus issues and one has to wonder if he'll ever been an effective NBA player again. Roy, who is only 26 years of age, is said to have such a bad meniscus problem that he's almost bone to bone. - 1/13

Thursday: We're passing today. We weren't able to find any value in the 3 games today. - 1/13

Monday Selection: Bucks/Jazz UNDER 188. - 11/29
