NBA Expert Picks - 9 Nov 06
Category: Daily NBA Picks
In the first game of the night, Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers are going to fight for a win before the weekend. LeBron James’ high scoring ability is likely to continue tonight against perhaps the league’s best defender Ben Wallace. In Chicago’s offense, Heinrich and Gordon will not face much difficulty, so this game will probably finish over 183.5 points.
Dallas, having started this season with one of their worst streaks in the franchise history, 0-4, must really go hard tonight to beat the Suns at Phoenix, who lost against San Antonio last night after Barbosa missed his second free throw leading the game to go overtime. Phoenix, with the highest tempo possible, is smashing their opponents in home games, but the players are experiencing fatigue problems near the end of the third period. However, Amare Stoudamire, who started in the lineup last night first time in the season and dominated the paint scores of the Suns in the first half of the game, will be very effective against Dirk Nowitzki’s Dallas Mavericks. The game can be bet on with Phoenix ML.
The only defeatless team in the NBA so far is traveling to Golden State to have their fifth win and maintain hopes for the playoffs. Chris Paul’s leadership plays a substantial role in New Orleans’ positive gameplay, but their opponents are not easy tonight. Golden State, though not successful in defense, can be very productive in the offense, so the pick for this game is over 195.5 points.
