After taking last night off (myself I only made one moneyline wager on Duke, which almost bit me in the ass), we are going to give 2 NBA games this evening:

Denver +4
Until this team loses with AI and Melo, I don't see how they can be getting this number. Utah had their torrid start, but have since player relatively mediocre. Denver looked like world beaters in their first game with AI and Melo in the starting lineup and although they came back down to earth a bit in the second game, they still won easily. I believe that Denver is the better team, with the better attitude right now (can't overlook the rapidly growing dissention between Kirilenko and the Jazz owner). The Nuggets have won and covered 5 straight and I think tonight it becomes 6.

Denver +4 (**)

Seattle -1
The Supersonics host the Timberwolves tonight in a matchup of very average teams. However, the Wolves just fired their headcoach and are 0-1 with the interim. The Supersonics lost on Tuesday at home to the surging (explained above) Nuggets, but aside from that game, the Sonics are 10-3 at home since December 1. The Wolves are on game 4 of a 5 game road trip and their weary legs/bodies will hurt an already bad road team (8-13). I look for Ray Allen to go off for at least 35 and for the Sonics to outgun the Wolves tonight.

Seattle -1 (**)
