ATS Picks: Day 19

Last night featured both bad basketball and bad picks.  I went 2-3 for a cummulative record of 72-61 (.541) and 10-6 on locks.  No worries though.  Sunday games are always good, and I'm feeling confident today.

LAC (+3.5) vs NYK (-3.5):  This is such a fun matchup.  Chris Paul is finally back for the Clippers, and the Knicks are almost completely healthy.  I'm only leaning towards the Knicks because the game is at MSG.

LAL (+7.5) vs Miami (-7.5):  LeBron dominates Kobe in this matchup.  Don't expect anything different today.

Portland (-3) vs Orlando (+3):  Portland on the road scares me, but Orlando is really beat up.

Denver (+2) vs Boston (-2):  Another great matchup.  Denver has been on fire lately, and the Celtics haven't lost without Rondo.  Avery Bradley gets the picture of the day, cause he has been holding it down without Rondo and playing incredible defense.  Big shout to Avery Bradley.

Minnesota (+8.5) vs Memphis (8.5):  Things just keep getting worse for Memphis.  They trade Gay, and now Lionel Hollins is complaining about not having enough big men.  This franchise is spiraling downwards very quickly.

New Orleans (+3.5) vs Toronto (-3.5):  When Kyle Lowry plays well, this Raptors team is actually kinda dangerous.  That being said, they won't even make the playoffs so lets not make too much of it.

OKC (-8.5) vs Phoenix (+8.5):  I don't like Goran Dragic. 

San Antonio (-2.5) vs Brooklyn (+2.5):  On paper, Brooklyn should be way better than they are.  But Joe Johnson and Deron Williams are vastly overrated, Brook Lopez is soft, and opposing teams have figured out that Gerald Wallace can't hit a jumper to save his life.  Not a dangerous team whatsoever.

Houston (-6) vs Sacramento (+6):  I kinda have to pick Houston here, especially considering how awesome this is.

 Lock of the day goes to Boston (-2).  For all you soccer fans out there, check out this video of Steve Nash.
