The Bets:
$100 11/16 - Blazers @ Jazz (-7) - Jazz will cover at home. I like my team but not that much.
$100 11/17 - Sonics @ Grizzlies (Pick'em) - When two terrible teams get together, go with the home team. Both of these teams are winless on the road.
$100 11/18 - Pacers (-11) @ Cavs - Paul Pierce going against his old team is a nice story line but the Cavs don't have the post defense to stop CWebb.
$100 11/19 - Nuggets @ Raptors (-3) - Nuggets win this one as D-Wade and Chauncey have BIG nights.
$100 11/20 - Celtics @ Jazz (-1) - I'm going with the Jazz at home. Only the Kings have beat them in SLC so far.
$100 11/21 - Pistons @ Hornets - Over/Under 207 - These teams can both score but I think this turns into a defensive battle of rim protectors.
$100 11/22 - Knicks @ Mavericks, Knicks +17 at 1:1, Knicks +11 at 2:1, Knicks +4 at 3:1, Knicks to win at 4:1 - Am I the only one that was saddened by Yao's demise. The Knicks had a nice future for a while there. They get stomped in Dallas.
$100 11/23 - Kings @ Nuggets - McGrady points or KG's Pts+Boards? These Nuggets are scary, especially with their defense. I say they keep McGrady in check but lose.
$100 11/25 - T-Wolves (-3.5) @ Pistons - I think the T-Wolves cover here. I like Shaq and Bosh against Aldrige and Dwight.
$100 11/28 - Spurs @ Nets (-9) - Is the rough start for the Spurs just a fluke? I'm betting no.

Who will win Player of the Month from the West? - Always go with Timmy.
Jamison - 2/1
Bosh - 2/1
McGrady - 2/1
Tim Duncan 4/1
Field - 5/1

Who will win Player of the Month from the East? - Eh, why not?
Lewis - 1/1
Pierce - 2/1
Joe Johnson - 4/1
Boozer - 6/1
Field - 3/1

Kings record this sim: - A couple of injuries but not a particularly tough schedule.
6-0 - 4/1
5-1 - 2/1
4-2 - 1/1
3-3 - 3/1
2-4 - 6/1
1-5 - 8/1
0-6 - 20/1

$50 Will Rashard Lewis score MORE than 44 in a game this sim? - Knicks. Count it.
No - 1/2
Yes - 2/1

How much are you betting on the bottom picks? You only have $50 left to bet but you seem to have wagered nothing. Remember, the format changed this year so you don't need to spend all $1000 OR make all the picks. Refer to last sim's pick'em if you need ideas.

Thanks for the write-ups though!!

So no money on the Kings record or the Players of the month, correct?

Correct. I'm not a fan of those picks. I'm good at picking ball games. I'll stick to that.

BETS:

11/17 - Sonics @ Grizzlies (Pick'em)
-Both are young undeveloped teams but at home and with a couple more pieces I gotta go with the Grizz here despite the injury to Jose. $300

11/21 - Pistons @ Hornets - Over/Under 207
-These two teams have shown that they can score and be involved in high scoring games so far this year. Turn the paces up to 10 guys and we can win some money for the division! $300

11/22 - Knicks @ Mavericks, Knicks +17 at 1:1, Knicks +11 at 2:1, Knicks +4 at 3:1, Knicks to win at 4:1
-Going with a bit of a stab here, the Knicks have some talent but they are nowhere near Dallas and they were blown out by the Mavs already but AT HOME. Still its worth it to me to give a small bet just in case Yao and Melo go off and keep it close. $50 for the +4 $100 for the +11

Player of the month East:
Rashard Lewis 1/1 $150
