Looking at Knicks vs. Sacramento. Line movement going the other way vs. Vegas. Also, it seems like this Knicks squad has bonded in the wake of the Isiah-Marbury incident.

Boston line looks short, but movement is matching Vegas, so I'm taking them again in all likelihood.

Man, these look tough to me tonight. I like Utah tonight, Boozer is on fire and they are playing well on the road, vs. a Cleveland team that doesn't seem in rhythm. I'm going to wait and observe the lines.

[Tyler]

I agree the Celtics look like a good play. However, I once heard an interesting theory: PAt Riley HATES the Celtics from his years coaching the then rival LA Lakers, and tries twice as hard to defeat them. Not sure if that applies in any way here, but food for thought. Heat do look miserable, and (I'm from Boston) C's look great.

Boston line moved down to -11 and -10.5 in some places. Hmmm...

Knicks line still looks good.

I've decided to go Knicks tonight.
