BlackHaze's Non-System NBA Picks

[XxBlackHazexX]

So after a lot of confusion I decided to post my plays that are not system plays in this thread (Thanks to my bro T100). If you have any questions feel free to ask me.. Thanks for following and I wish each of you the BOL tonight and all throughout the 2011 NBA Season! LETS GET THIS MONEY PEOPLE

My NBA Plays: 3-3

[XxBlackHazexX]

First Play of The Day:
New York Knicks at Utah Jazz
Playing with no rest in Utah is not a desirable situation for most NBA teams, and things will be no different for the Knicks tonight as they visit the Jazz. Utah catches New York off a SU dog win last night in Portland and is 11-3 ATS vs. the Eastern Conference this season. Last night's win by the Knicks was just their third on the road vs. a team with a winning record. Lay the points.
Play: Utah Jazz -6.5 2units

Second Play of The Day:
New Jersey Nets at Phoenix Suns
Both teams are not getting it done versus the spread lately, as the Nets are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall and a paltry 2-10 ATS in their previous 12 road contests.
At the same time, the Suns are 0-3-1 ATS over their last four matchups and are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine games at US Airways Center.
Injuries are taking a toll on both teams at the moment, with New Jersey likely to be without Troy Murphy (illness), Anthony Morrow (hamstring) and Damion James for Wednesday's game. Devin Harris (quad) is also listed as questionable.
Phoenix have said Goran Dragic (knee) is 50/50 to play while Grant Hill is considered doubtful after leaving Sunday's game early with a sprained knee.
With a number of key players expected to miss out for the Nets, it should result in a comfortable victory for Phoenix on Wednesday.
New Jersey has struggled (2-7-1 ATS) in recent trips to Phoenix, and the Suns could definitely use a little winning streak to boost confidence out west.
Look for Steve Nash to dominate proceedings once again, especially if Nets point guard Devin Harris misses out. Another X factor could be Jared Dudley, who has really sprung to life since receiving extended minutes following the big trade. The forward out of Boston College is averaging 15.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in Phoenix's last five games.
And with other talented players such as Hakim Warrick, Mickael Pietrus and Marcin Gortat coming off the bench, the Suns should be able to overcome the under-manned Nets and score their second consecutive victory on Wednesday night.
Play: Phoenix Suns -6 2units

Over/Unders for the Day:
Hawks Under 205 2units
Celtics Under 197 2units
Bobcats Over 185 6units
Rockets Over 210 3units
Pacers Over 190.5 3units
Hornets Over 191 3units

Add to the ticket:
New Orleans Hornets +3.5
Do not underestimate the Hornets at home. They sting. I know the Magic are on a roll but the Hornets are limiting teams to only 90.5ppg at home and guards the perimeter pretty well and they score pretty close to Orlando in Defensive Efficiency. The play is that the Hornets love hosting Florida's finest and playing them pretty close. They have the personnel to put up a decent D against Orlando and has only allowed 29.3% in 3 point area the last few games. They also play the transition very well and thrive on big games that's why this will be a huge test for the Magic. The tricky line also does the trick here. I was hoping they'd be a 5 to 6 point dog with the way Orlando is going.

Tough night tonight with only 3 games on the board. After gambling for some time now I've learned the best thing to do is too sometimes take a night off, which is what I might do tonight since there is really nothing of great value IMO. If I had to bet here is what I would do...
Washington Wizards at Minnesota Timberwolves
The Wizards are 0-9 ATS off a SU win this season and a big reason for that is their 0-18 SU mark on the road this season with the average loss coming by a margin of over 12 PPG. With Washington off a wild 136-133 win over Sacramento Tuesday night, I'll lay the points with the T'wolves, who are 6-1 ATS when on a losing streak of five or more games. I feel the safer bet would be to take the over 207.5 since this game will probably be a shootout.
Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets
I could see this game going either way. The Heat are coming off of a heartbreaking loss to the hungry LA Clips, in which LeBron and D-Wade both took a beating. Playing in LA and then 22 hours later in the high altitude of the mountains, and you take into account that this game is going to be on national television is something that is not easy to do. LeBron is listed as questionable after rolling his ankle last night, so who do you roll with? The LeBron-less Heat or the drama filled Nuggets?
Here are some trends I discovered that make me believe the Nuggets will beat the heat tonight..
-Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog.
-Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog of 0.5-4.5.
-Nuggets are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
-Nuggets are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.
-Nuggets are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. win.
-Nuggets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a road-winning % of greater than .600.
If you also take into account that the opening line of this game was Miami -4 and you can now find it @ Miami -2 and even 1.5 with everyone and there mom on the Heat I'd take Denver +2 and the under 205.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet, just thought I'd throw my thought out there for you guys, will be back in a bit to say if I'm gonna play anything tonight. BOL to you guys whoever you take.
