Saturday NBA Opinion
SAN ANTONIO (-11 ½) over Memphis
Rotation #510 - 5:35 pm Pacific
The Spurs have won 7 consecutive games and tonight they apply to a solid 94-48-6 ATS home favorite momentum situation. Memphis may be without star Rudy Gay, which is why the line went up from an opening number of 10 points, but my ratings favor the Spurs by 11 points even if Gay plays. I’ll lean with San Antonio based on the good situation.

TOD-
We skipped the play of the day yesterday after a 3 day losing streak. Sometimes it is best to just take a day off and regroup. The TOD record is still strong at 10-5 but we need to get back on the winning side.
The Nashville Predators are on a 5 game win streak and have won 8 of their last 9 with the only defeat being in OT to Atlanta. Lindback has been on fire and has won 6 of 7 since Rinne went down with an injury. They smothered the Devils last night in Jersey, 3-1. Their fore checking is considered the best in hockey and it makes it hard for teams to get any offensive chances.
The Kings are in the middle of a grueling 5 game road trip and have the Chicago Blackhawks on their schedule for tomorrow. This could be a look ahead game and as such they have put their back up goalie in the net. Bernier is a definite downgrade from Quick with only 2 wins in 7 starts this season. His goal against average is a pedestrian 3.3 and with the team defense showing signs of cracking in the St. Louis, this could spell trouble for LA.
We thought the Predators would be -150 or -160 but as of right now the line is a very cheap -105. In fact, the Kings are favored. Are we missing something? The only thing that could derail this pick would be a tired Lindback letting up before a 3 day break.
Tip of the Day – Nash -105
