ERROR- I think you've given me a 'win' when I should have been marked down for a 'loss'. On 1/30 I had the Celtics plus the points, they lost by 25 (whoops). Maybe this hoensty will bring some good karma....thanks for doing this contest

[Mr. Baseball]

Detroit -9 -105....look for them to bounce back big tonight. They will be focused and come out with a huge effort on their home court.

[marduk]

Charlotte Bobcats +2 -112
Only reason for this play is that charlotte should win some games and at home against atlanta seems a good enough chance for me with an extra 2pts

[jackyl]

Houston Rockets - 5.5 (- 109)

The Rockets just nmanhandled the Bucks in Milwaukee a couple weeks ago, and TMac always goes off on them, so I see no reason why Houston doesn't winn easily!!

[gianfranco]

[Brock]

Detroit -9 -105 Detroit won at Mn. 107-83 I don't belive Mn. make over
can keep them with Detroit at home.

[Excellence of Execution]

Chicago Bulls +4 -106 - Will go with the Bulls who came up just a bit short in their comeback attempt last night. Tonight they won't fall behind so far.

[DelReyJ]

L.A. Clippers -1.5 -112; Clippers are by far the better team and look for them to get an easy win tonight.

[Links72]

Memphis Grizzlies +1 -106

Grizzlies gained a much needed spark picking up Chucky Atkins.
This acquisition helps them get the win over a Mavs team that is
hot but road weary.

[runt4587]

SAN ANTONIO -7.5 -107 ,, SPURS A MUCH BETTER TEAM , HAD THEIR MOST LOPSIDED WIN OF THE YEAR AGAINST PORTLAND . PORTLAND NOT DOING MUCH OFFENSIVELY LATELY . LOOK FOR SPURS TO WIN BY 10 OR MORE .
