David Rudolph's NBA Corner - 11/9/12

By David Rudolph

Reigning rookie of the year Kyrie Irving has yet to play a game at 100% this year. That's scary, and he's just plain scary good. He started out the year feeling the effects of having his wisdom teeth pulled out, then developed a stomach virus, but now seemingly healthy, it's time for him to go full force at the league where he's undoubtedly a top 10 player. Also a top 5 most fun player to watch.

Irving leads an offense into Phoenix tonight that will be without rookie shooting guard Dion Waiters (Quad). They get back rebounding guru Anderson Varejao from a knee issue. Cleveland's team defense is allowing the league to shoot over 50% from the field, that's dead last of the 32 professional basketball teams.

Phoenix is also next to last in a category, allowing 105 points per game. When you look at their lineup, it's a pretty rag tag group, and I would guesstimate they'll have a very long year, losing quite a few more than they win.

If you needed more reason to play my free play this evening, both teams combined have had 7 straight overs, so unless you subscribe to the due theory (like, "their due to go under"), bet the OVER! (Side note, if you do believe in the "due", I'm due to win my blog play free pick!)

NBA quick hitter: 13 games tonight, but the game of the night will undoubtedly be the Lakers/Gold state, as everyone in the NBA world can't help but watch this train wreck that is currently the LA Lakers. Remember though that the Warriors just beat the other LA team at Staples, and with Steve Blake running the show, I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen to this LA team!

Basketball galore: NCAA Basketball starts tonight and Chuck Edel is more than ready for it, check out his season opening deals, and also I love 2 other totals besides this free pick, lot's of money to be made!

*** UPDATE ***  (added by Chris Allen)
After a disastrous 1-4 start the LA Lakers have fired Head Coach Mike Brown! It’s about time…
