Miami Heat @ Philadelphia 76ers
After a great weekend for Wade (the MVP of all star game), Miami will go to Philadelphia play close game. Miami have all their players rested, and it's a team that only depend on their mood to play well. After so many days off, the team will likely approach this game with the right angle, and that is easely translated to many point from their part.
Sixiers are also rested after a loss ending their 4 winning streak games. They were scoring lot's of points, 104 points per game, and allowing almost 100. That's because the team can have a high pace during many minutes in the game. Today, Iverson will return, and we can expect a faster game than lately.
Sixiers are small favourites today, and will make their best to win this game. They know that Miami will appears today with energy, so they will have to be better on accuracy, as this will be probably a fast game.
Pick: Over 190.5 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker
Minnesota Timberwolves @ Detroit Pistons
Everyone expects Timberwolves to keep their pace. It's true that they were lately scoring more than 100 points per game, however, today we have a different situation. Timberwolves scored lot's of points because their opponents let so. Some of them lost due to that, however, it was because teams didn't approach well the game.
Many teams were already thinking in after all stars, another teams had players that were playing slowly due to injuries or just because they were tired. But now, we will enter the second part of the season. It will be more serious than before the all star, and many teams will try their last efforts to get a playoff spot.
Timberwolves will face today Detroit, that is a team that plays a lot with their defense. Detroit is far from playoffs, but none team can quit just after and all star. They will enter this second part of the season with what they do best: DEFENSE! And against a team that is not quite good, they will probably prevail with their defense.
Pick: Under 198 -110 (1.91) Bookmaker
