Thursday Night Hoops-The Picks

Tonight, just 3 total NBA games. A slow schedule but not a bad night to make a few plays

NBA

@NJ +2 POR-The Blazers looked horrific in their last road performance and this team is still a little inexperienced to handle road games they should win on the east coast. Take the Nets with the points.

@CHI +8 CLE-The Cavs are clearly the better team and if the game was in Cleveland I would take them in an absolute blow out, however this game is in Chicago and 8 is just to many points. Take the Bulls with the points.

@DEN -1 1/2 PHX-Denver is winding down a 7 game homestand and there is a chance they can be a little sluggish. The Nuggets also have no Carmelo Anthony but the team has proved it can win without him. As for the Suns, Shaq has looked as good as of late as he did during his championship run with the Heat. During this homestand Denver has gotten off to huge leads and have let their opponnents creap back into games. Look for Denver to get out fast tonight and put an older Suns team away. Lay the easy 1 1/2 and take Denver.

Other News. ...USC QB Mark Sanchez declares himself eligible for the NFL Draft. Goodbye Southern California and hello to The Motor City and the 0-16 Lions. Sanchez will be the top pick in April's draft.
