Below is Elite Sports Investing's "Early Look" at tonight's NBA card taken from the website, www.elitesportsinvesting.com. Also, tonight ESI releases its 3* February NBA Game of the Month, a very strong play available on a pay-after-you-win basis on the website. ESI does not release many big plays, and never uses slogans like "locks" or "20*" to advertise these plays. This play will be rated 3* on our late phone service, only the 2nd NBA play to achieve that status. You can also get the play or info on ESI basketball phone service biweekly, monthly, and season long rates by calling (412)377-7462. ESI is currently hitting a documented 57% of its basketball plays (63% NBA!), on the heels of a 59% football season. All results available at www.sportswatch.ws
Atlanta at Indiana - Pacers have been nearly unbeatable on this court lately (6-1SU/7-0 ATS), and this game vs. lowly Hawks definitely means something to them even off successful venture into Detroit last night. Atlanta has upset Indy twice already this season, and the Pacers certainly don't want to get swept by the Hawks. Atlanta D as permissive as ever allowin 106 ppg last 5 games, while Indy's is rock solid on this floor, allowing only 86 ppg on 41 % shooting. Pacers are now an excellent 65-38$ at home w/non-division revenge. PLAY INDY MINUS THE POINTS
Washington at Cleveland - Wizards have covered 8 straight, including two weeks back at home against Cleveland. Cavs rock solid 16-10-1$ at Gund.
New Jersey at New York - It will really be something to watch Jamal Crawford, Steve Francis, and Stephon Marbury jack up shots and give each other dirty looks all the way up and down the court. Nets have covered 5 straight in this series.
San Antonio at Memphis - For some reason Memphis is at their most dangerous when having played the night before (37-19$w/o rest last 3 seasons!)
Detroit at Chicago - Pistons stepping up against elite teams but going through the motions against lesser foes. Bulls showing some signs lately.
Golden St. at Houston - Two teams headed in opposite directions. If Golden St. shooting woes continue (39% last 5 plus PG Davis doubtful), Houston can put the hammer down here.
LA Lakers at LA Clippers - Lakers may let down after Sacramento revenger last night, and are only 4-8$ w/revenge this season. Don't expect 53% from the field and 63% from behind the arc like last night either.
