Friday NBA Opinions
L.A. Clippers (+4 ½) over MEMPHIS
The Clippers shouldn’t be as bad now that they have Zach Randolph and Marcus Camby back in the lineup, but they’ve still been blownout in their last few games. However, Memphis is a team that they should be able to compete with and the Clippers apply to a solid 68-25 ATS situation that plays on teams on long losing streaks. My ratings favor Memphis by just 3 ½ points and I’ll lean with the Clippers at +4 points or more.
Portland (-6) over OKLAHOMA CITY
Portland applies to a very strong 49-2-3 ATS road favorite bounce-back situation tonight and my ratings favor the Blazers by 6 points, but Oklahoma City has covered the spread in 12 of their last 13 home games and 10 straight as a home dog. I’ll still lean with the Blazers based on the very strong situation.
Friday College Opinion
St. Peter’s (+16 ½) over NIAGARA
Rotation #879 – 4 pm Pacific
St Peter’s is 8-1-1 ATS since the beginning of 2009 and the Peacocks tend to play their best on the road under coach John Dunne (20-11 ATS, including 5-0 recently). Niagara is an inconsistent team that is coming off a couple of impressive road wins, but the Purple Eagles are just 1-15 ATS at home off consecutive conference wins and only 9-17 ATS as a double-digit home favorite. My ratings favor Niagara by 16 ½ points, but using conference games only yields a fair price of just 13 points and I’ll lean with St. Peter’s at +16 or more.
