Boyd’s Wizards at Cavs Free NBA Picks
January 6, 2010
After using a lot of energy to overcome an 18-point second half deficit to defeat the 76ers last night, I don’t think the Wizards will have enough legs to keep this one within the number against a motivated Cavaliers team. The Cavs will be extremely motivated by a rare home loss to Charlotte last game, and also by a 17-point loss to Washington last month.

Alexander’s Lakers at Clippers Picks
January 6, 2010
Bottom Line: The Clippers are playing their best ball of the season, winning 3 of their last 4 with 2 of those coming against Boston and Portland. The Clippers have played the Lakers tough in each of the last 3 meetings, covering the spread in all 3, and I like their chances again tonight against a Lakers team that just played last night and that is expected to be without Pau Gasol.

Feist’s Nets at Hawks Free Picks
January 6, 2010
Atlanta is a big favorite, yet the Hawks haven’t been doing anything right, on a 2-6 SU, 3-5 ATS run. They were favored at home the last game against a Miami team without Jermaine O’Neal, but lost 92-75. Joe Johnson scored 11 and was the only starter in double figures for Atlanta, which is 2-6 since Dec. 19 and 1-6 this season when scoring less than 96 points. New Jersey comes to town playing better defense under their second coach. They are 2-1 ATS this season as a dog of +14 or more....
