11/15 - Cavs @ Nets: Pick Em!

11/18 - Hawks @ Spurs: Total 175 Over/Under/Push
11/20 - Timberwolves (+5.5) @ Kings

11/26 - Raptors @ Jazz: Pick Em!
11/28 - Knicks (+17.5) @ Clippers

You got this @Eazy P

11/15 - Cavs @ Nets: Pick Em!
My head says Nets at home (the poor Nets have played 6 of their first 7 on the road) but my heart tells me Eddie Jones is a really bad matchup for Antoine Walker. Cavs.

11/16 - Warriors (-3.5) @ Jazz
If I've learned one thing in sim league, it's not to bet against Kemp. Even against Duncan. Warriors.

11/18 - Hawks @ Spurs: Total 175 Over/Under/Push
Both teams average well over 100 per game and give up over 99 per game. This line looks way off. Over.

11/20 - Timberwolves (+5.5) @ Kings
I can't keep picking road teams, can I? Well... no. The Wolves have no way to slow down McGrady, while the Kings have the defenders to make Hill and Webber work for their points. And they're at home, so yeah... Kings.

11/23 - Heat @ Grizzlies: Total 180 Over/Under/Push
Again, we have teams that both score over 100 per game and give up about 100 per game. This should hit the Over.

11/26 - Raptors @ Jazz: Pick Em!
The Raptors have a backcourt that is good with the potential to be great... but the Jazz have a great frontcourt now... and are at home. I have to give the nod to the home team here. Jazz

11/28 - Knicks (+17.5) @ Clippers
The Knicks haven't kept any game within 18 points on the road... and the Clippers are good enough to hammer them at home. It's a huge spread, but give me the Clippers.

Edit: fixed a bad bold tag

11/15 - Cavs @ Nets: Pick Em!
Cavs have a good team but I have to be a homer and pick the Nets at home where we are an amazing 1-0 on the season.
11/16 - Warriors (-3.5) @ Jazz
Jazz are at home but I just can't go against Kemp.
11/18 - Hawks @ Spurs: Total 175 Over/Under/Push
These teams are into defense, so I'll take the over
11/20 - Timberwolves (+5.5) @ Kings
I'll take the Timberwolves even though I think the Kings win the game.
11/23 - Heat @ Grizzlies: Total 180 Over/Under/Push
I sense a trend here with taking the over and neither team is holding opponents under 100ppg.
11/26 - Raptors @ Jazz: Pick Em!
I'll take the tandem of Duncan and Davis at home.
11/28 - Knicks (+17.5) @ Clippers
Knicks are just plain awful and the Clippers are a home, 20 might not be enough

11/15 - Cavs @ Nets: Pick Em! Cavs Walker played 43 minutes the night before, I don't see him keeping up with a fresh Eddie Jones. Close game until Cavs pull away late.
11/16 - Warriors (-3.5) @ Jazz Warriors Interesting head to head battle between Duncan and Kemp. I think experience trumps youth here and the Warriors take it.
11/18 - Hawks @ Spurs: Total 175 Over/Under/Push Over Hawks are the highest scoring team in the league and the Spurs have a history of getting locked up in some high scoring affairs. It could be well over the number in this one.
11/20 - Timberwolves (+5.5) @ Kings Kings I like the Kings at home. T Mac should have a field day with an undersized guard trying to defend him.
11/23 - Heat @ Grizzlies: Total 180 Over/Under/Push Over Tough line, but I think I will take the over. The Heat are scoring over 100 in their wins and I like them to win here. The Griz should find a way to put up 81 and get over the line.
11/26 - Raptors @ Jazz: Pick Em! Jazz I really like the Jazz in this spot. I think they are the better team right now plus factor in the home court advantage; take Utah.
11/28 - Knicks (+17.5) @ Clippers Clippers When I initially saw this line I thought for sure I'd be taking the Knicks. Unfortunately, the Knicks scoring comes largely from the outside and the Clips are a solid perimeter defensive team. Clips to cover.

11/15 - Cavs @ Nets: Pick Em!

Nets
This is a really tough pick em. Both teams are good and now with the newly acquired Net Tim Hardaway has the makings of a great game. I really don't know who to go with. It's IMO really a toss up game. So I'll just go with the home team. Nets win by 1 or 2 points in a thriller.

11/16 - Warriors (-3.5) @ Jazz

Warriors
I pick Warriors because they are the Warriors. With a average margin of victory of 22 points they should cover easily. They only way I see them not covering is if Kemp died on the court during warm ups from a cocaine overdose.

11/18 - Hawks @ Spurs: Total 175 Over/Under/Push

Over
I think both teams should be able to score 175 combined. Both teams allow around 99 ppg.

11/20 - Timberwolves (+5.5) @ Kings

Wolves
I think the Wolves will cover and might actually win.


11/23 - Heat @ Grizzlies: Total 180 Over/Under/Push

Over
I think both these teams are capable of Scoring over 180 points combined.

11/26 - Raptors @ Jazz: Pick Em!

Raptors
With Dale Davis out injured I think the Raptors front court will do just enough to beat the Jazz.


11/28 -Knicks (+17.5) @ Clippers

Clippers cover
The Knicks are a horrible team this year and I just don't see them stopping the Clippers.

Don't you dare jinx him.

Completed and done like the last sim. Central maintains a 2 point lead. Midwest and Atlantic share the basement. That's so Eazy and RPF. Buddies till the end.
