1/22 - Kings (+3.5) @ Lakers Should be a fun one to watch, with the top 2 teams in the Pacific. The Lake Show is riding the high of a home winning steak and I expect that to continue. Hopefully that can pull it out by at least 4.
1/25 - Warriors @ Clippers: Total 194 Over/Under/Push 2nd of a back to back on the road for the Warriors. Clips traded away one of their offensive threats in Coleman; I see this game in the high 180's.
1/27 - Raptors @ Kings: Pick Em! Tough to separate the two; so in a pick'em game I will take the home team.
1/30 - Bucks @ Nuggets: Total 83 Rebounds combined by Bucks @ Nuggets Over/Under/Push With Shaq and Bradley; I suspect it will be tough to get any easy shots. Which translates into more rebounds.
2/1 - Magic @ Wizards (-6.5) The Magic won the last meeting, but they had Stackhouse then; now he's on the Wiz. I'll take the Wizards to cover.
2/3 - Hawks @ Celtics (+9.5) The Celtics just recently won this matchup. And you're giving me 9.5 points? Give me Boston.
2/4 - Lakers (-23.5) @ Sonics I hate the massive spread games. But the Sonics are historically bad and facing the defending champs. I'll take LA despite the handicap.
1/22 - Kings (+3.5) @ Lakers Can't pick against the defending champs, even against the now-healthy Kings. They'll win by a little more than 3-4.
1/25 - Warriors @ Clippers: Total 194 Over/Under/Push And here's J2's Risky Pick of the Day, brought to you by the fact the Clips/Warriors have exceeded this total twice without Kemp playing, and came within 3 points of doing so with him (it should be noted that he only played 24 minutes during that game, and only scored 12 points). No Coleman means that Kemp will go off, helping the Warriors to score about 110 and the Clippers will get a home boost, scoring at least 80 points. That's 190, so I think over 194 is possible...
1/27 - Raptors @ Kings: Pick Em! The Raptors are more balanced, but the Kings are usually strong at home, and the Raps have been "meh" on the road.
1/30 - Bucks @ Nuggets: Total 83 Rebounds combined by Bucks @ Nuggets Over/Under/Push This total is actually under both what they currently average combined, and what the total was last time these two teams met up.
2/1 - Magic @ Wizards (-6.5) I'm not quite sure if Stack's a double agent sent to destroy my team from within and give his old team top draft talent. This game should provide more evidence.
2/3 - Hawks @ Celtics (+9.5) Now that's Conroy's involved again, I expect the usual from Boston.
2/4 - Lakers (-23.5) @ Sonics I never take these types of bets against the home team, but the Sonics have only lost 2(!) games by single digits this season, 24(!!!) by 20+. Sorry Darth, claiming championship banners from your old team won't save you here.

Hey, if you took this team you'd hang old banners too! I have to have something encouraging to look at!
Aburns and Ryan both scored 6/7 on their Pick ems to inch closer. We have a tie for first between the Pacific and Atlantic with everything all bunched up. Updated scores below.
