San Jose St +6.5
These two teams met in San Jose earlier this month and New Mexico St. snuck out a 75-73 win despite being dominated in the paint getting out-rebounded 37-27. San Jose St. has a solid front court in Tim Pierce(14.8 PPG 6 Rebounds per game,43.4% FG),C.J. Webster(11.8 PPg 6 Rebounds) and Chris Oakes(8.8 PPG * Rebounds per game,and 32 blocks this year.) They have a couple of decent guards to match up with New Mexico St. solid backcourt of Jamar Young and Jonathan Gibson. Streaky Adrian Oliver is averaging 12ppg who is coming off a 29 point performance vs Fresno St. for the Spartans. Along with Oliver is Justin Graham an all around solid player(8.8 PPG 36 steals and 5.2 assists per game). San Jose St. is playing solid right now covering the spread in 7 of their last 10 games as well as 4-1 in their last 5 road games. New Mexico St. has a solid backcourt and a good forward in Wendell McKines. San Jose St. is playing their best ball right now all year. They just gave a 19-1 Utah St. team a scare in a 62-58 loss. The only problem with the Spartans is they have no reliable 3 point shooter. It doesn't concern us here because they will out muscle New Mexico St. in the paint again tonight. 6.5 is too much points to lay here,this game will be a very close one like the first meeting.
Cavs+5
Yeah the Magic have had the Cavs card the past 2 meetings with 2 double digit victories last season. We think that all will change tonight. The Cavs are winners of four in a row, three of which were on a west coast road trip. Mo Williams is hot right now scoring 25 or more points in 3 of his last 4 games. We expect Dwight Howard to have a big night in the paint for the Magic but Cleveland will hold their own tonight. We think they have a very good shot at winning this straight up. The Magic have been a little streaky teh past couple games with a tough loss to Boston @ home and an upset vs. the Heat. We like the Cavs in the big spot even on the road here in Orlando tonight.
Spurs+2
There is a lot of value in this line here. We think the wrong team is a favorite here. The Suns have been all over the place lately and are hard to read right now. Besides that they are just 6-14 ATS at home this year. This line should be Spurs-2 in are opinion. Until the Suns start playing a little more consistent than their stock is down and we aren't laying the chalk with them especially against a solid veteran team like the Spurs. Back Duncan and the Spurs tonight with the points
