NBA Picks, 11/29/06

No introductions are needed here. I have the winners and you want the winners. I am 5-2 on the NBA season so far, and tonight I look to improve that even more. So let’s dispense with the small talk and get right to it, shall we?







Game One: First game tonight takes us to Phoenix where the Suns (7-6) play host to the Rockets (10-4) . Both teams come into tonight’s game riding four game win streaks. Houston has been on a terrible run against Phoenix though, losing all three games last season by an average of 21 points. So who do we take tonight? That’s right, the Rockets (+7.5).

Game Two: Next game on the list has the Magic (11-4) visiting the Sonics (6-9) in Seattle. The Magic are coming off a big win Monday night in Utah, but look ripe for an upset tonight. I love a bad team favored at home against a good team. I’m taking the Sonics (-2.5) and you should too.

Game Three: Last game on the program for this evening is actually not an NBA game. That’s right folks, for the first time ever, yours truly is putting an NCAA game on his picks list. The ACC/Big Ten Challenge has had many great match-ups in the past. Tonight’s game is between the Buckeyes (6-0) of Ohio St. and the Tar Heels (4-1) of UNC. I know OSU has a very talented team this year, but they don’t seem to be much of a match for North Carolina in this tough road game. Take UNC (-7.5) tonight and just remember who told you to do it.
