Street Rosenthal

*200 Los Angeles Clippers +10

I do not have very many NBA plays the first couple of weeks,
but this play is one of my favorites. We will fade the defending NBA
Champions on opening night as they receive their rings. After the Lakers
won the championship in 2000, they lost the season opener at home to the
Utah Jazz after getting their rings. After winning the title in 2001,
the Lakers got their rings and won the opener over the Portland Trail
Blazers. But after the Lakers won the NBA championship in 2002, they got
their rings at home and lost to the San Antonio Spurs. The Clippers will
be watching the Lakers get their rings. The Clippers will be fired up to
acheive the same, however the Lakers will be spent emotionally. Take the
Clippers getting double digits in an opening night game.

WASHINGTON -½ +1.15 over Philadelphia (REG) Pinnacle

The Caps are the straight goods and with Jose Theodore back in net they appear to be even more confident. They’ve reeled off four in a row, they’re well rested and you know for sure they’ll be motivated for this one. The Flyers have played just one road, a 4-2 loss in Florida, in its last seven games. This is also its fourth game in six nights and they’ve also had to entertain their dads, who have come to Philadelphia in the Flyers annual father/son week. It’s a nice gesture by the Flyers organization but it’s also a bit of a distraction and thus, the timing for this one is just perfect for the home side. Philly is up 1-0 in the season series with a 6-5 home win but things are likely going to get a whole lot tougher here. Caps winning at home has to be considered a strong wager no matter who they’re playing. Play: Washington -½ +1.15 (Risking 2 units).

Detroit –1.03 over VANCOUVER (REG) Pinnacle

The Red Wings are in a real funk but there is no denying they’re on the verge of breaking out. They lost 3-1 in Colorado in its last but that is not indicative of how the game played out. Detroit out-shot the Av’s 48-20 and if not for Craig Anderson standing on his head the Red Wings would have won by three or four goals. Make no mistake, the Red Wings are still dangerous and will play their hearts out again here. Meanwhile, the Canucks have won three in a row and it appears as though Roberto Luongo has found his groove again. Still, the Canucks are having trouble scoring and they’re missing too many key players to sustain any kind of winning streak. Among others, Daniel Sedin, Kyle Wellwood and Sami Salo are all out and those are significant injuries to overcome. Vancouver is a very beatable team right now and hopefully the Wings can pop two or three past Luongo because it’s unlikely that the Canucks will score three or more. Play: Detroit –1.03 (Risking 2.06 units to win 2).

PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS (-9) over Houston Rockets

4* #506 PORTLAND over HOUSTON

With a young roster filled with not only talented players, but the right kind of talent, the Portland Trail Blazers bring a lot of D?s to the able ? Discipline, Defense, Determination and Depth. That takes you a long way in this league, as we saw in a 2008-09 campaign in which many thought that they were ahead of schedule, but they were not ? the combination of talent + work ethic gives them a chance to assimilate much more quickly than the norm. On offense their chemistry and patience saw them #2 in efficiency on our best set of ratings; on defense it was #10; and they were at the top or near the top in every key rebounding category, a tribute to the Determination aspects. And the only glaring negative statistic was one that they could not control, and should actually reverse a bit this season ? they were dead last in opponents Free Throw percentage, watching helplessly as an 80.6 was drained against them. The latter really does matter ? over the course of the season that can have a definite impact on power ratings. So what happens when all of those D?s are combined? You become a beast at home. The Trail Blazers were 13-2 SU and 10-5 ATS on this court after the All Star break LY, and went 13-7 ATS in their last 20 when laying -7 or more here. They simply wear weaker teams down, and we expect them to become ever strong in that category this season, with the addition of Andre Miller making the second unit (for now, eventually we believe that he will move to a starting spot) arguably the league?s best. That all spells bad news for the Rockets, who have an awful time matching up. It is one thing to transition from having Yao Ming, Ron Artest and Tracy McGrady, which would cause headaches for anyone, but another matter entirely when a savvy front office had brought in a bunch of role players to surround the stars. Under those circumstances, guys like Shane Battier, Chuck Hayes, Luis Scola and Trevor Ariza make a great deal of sense. But now there is not a legitimate go-to scorer to be found, while also the lack of a defensive and rebounding presence in the paint. It also means that promising PG Aaron Brooks will struggle to take the next step, since opposing defenders can help off of their man to negate his drives. Let?s let Rick Adelman explain it for us - ?The way we're going to have to do it is we're going to have work harder than everybody else; we're going to have to be very consistent and play well as a team. This will be a progression for us ? There is a lot of uncertainty; there is no doubt about that. We lose all those points from people who are used to scoring those points, used to being the main guys. Now you just turn it over to people and try to get them to do more. We don't have that right now. We're still looking for it. That is going to cause us some uncertainty.? Those ?effort? aspects from the Rockets will actually make them decent plays some nights, as they play harder than favorites that will take them lightly. But that does not work against the focus that the Trail Blazers will bring for this particular tip-off, and while Nate McMillan can have his team go all-out here, with Wednesday off, Adelman will not chase all that hard from behind, since his Rockets have to play again on Wednesday night at Golden State, a pace that will require a lot of energy. That keeps the back-door firmly locked here in a game that the favorite dominates

East Carolina (-5.0) 28 MEMPHIS 23
Over/Under Total: 48.0
05:00 PM Pacific Time Tuesday, Oct-27

The Memphis offense has picked up since Arkelon Hall was replaced as the starting quarterback and since RB Curtis Steele got healthy (376 yards in the last two games) and my math model favors East Carolina by just 1 point in this game. However, the Pirates apply to a very good 56-12-1 ATS statistical match-up indicator that is based on their strong run defense (and Memphis' bad run defense). It' probably best to pass this game with the math favoring one side and the technical analysis favoring the other.

Pick 'n' Roll

Today's best NBA bets


Los Angeles Clippers at Los Angeles Lakers (-10, 207)

Fresh off of last year’s championship title run, the Lakers are just as determined and maybe even more talented this season. It makes sense then that oddsmakers have the Purple and Gold favored to hoist another Larry O'Brien Trophy.

Even with big man Pau Gasol doubtful for the Lakers season debut, expect the Lake Show to shine as bright as the championship rings they'll be flashing prior to tip-off Tuesday night.

Newly acquired Ron Artest and reigning league MVP Kobe Bryant will be too much for the Clippers to handle on both sides of the ball.

With all the hype surrounding the first overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft, The excitment of the Clippers season opener is drained a bit with prize prospect and No. 1 overall pick Blake Griffin expected to miss the contest because of a minor left knee injury.

Pick: Lakers -10


Houston Rockets at Portland Trail Blazers (-9.5, 186.5)

This rematch from last year’s Western Conference first round matchup between is missing one key component. All-Star center Yao Ming.

The 7-foot-6 center will miss the entire campaign after re-fracturing his left foot. Houston will miss Yao’s presence in the paint, especially against elite slashers like Portland's Brandon Roy.

All-Star guard Tracy McGrady will also miss at least the first half of the year while rehabbing from micro fracture surgery.

With Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla doing work on the glass, and Steve Blake and newly acquired veteran guard Andre Miller sharing duties at the point, expect the Trail Blazers to come out gunning at the always rowdy Rose Garden.

Pick: Trail Blazers -9.5
