David Rudolph's NBA Corner & Free Play - 1/28/13

by David Rudolph


When it comes to NBA handicapping, I have not been lazy. I do my due diligence as far as work and reading goes. However when it comes to blogging for our site, I've been Uber lazy! Today I hope to change that back to the way it was to start this season, doing write-ups every other day or so.
 
First I wanna say a word about the Big game this Sunday (I say big game cause I don't know if I’ll be fined by the NFL if I use their Super tag, yes I'm kidding). I started out immediately thinking I'd ride the Niners and lay the points as I've been winning with them against the Packers and thanks to a great line at Cantor gaming, a win minus 3 1/2 versus the Falcons. Then it hit me this weekend while looking into the game a little further, I've also hit the Ravens during their road to the championship. I bet them all three of their games and they proceeded to win by a combined 40 or so over the spread. So now I’m back to square one and have no idea who to put my money on. (I also have the predicament that I've bet quite a bit on Niners already, so I may end up having to buy it back and then some!)

Back to my favorite sport to put my money on now, NBA! I don't have to go far down the schedule to come up with my free play for today, as I like the home team Raptors as a small dog tonight. The Warriors are in the midst of an east coast swing where they've lost their last two and will end up playing 4 games in 5 nights. They haven't been the same team since the start of the New Year, and are 2 games under .500 as a result. On the other hand the Raptors are a MUCH BETTER home team than when they travel as can be seen in their respective home/ road splits. They are missing two big guys, but have been helped by the rebounding of Amir Johnson and Ed Davis. Also the much traveled former Michigan state standout Alan Anderson has been playing very well for the Raptors. He spent most of his career playing in Europe and the D league, but is now showing he can play with the big boys while scoring over 18 points per contest the last 10 or so.

Thank you for coming to our blog and as a reward for doing such, take the Toronto Raptors +2 tonight Vs. the Golden State Warriors!
