OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free pick Sunday is on the Cleveland Cavaliers (+11.5) to the NY Knicks.
Reasoning: Sure Cleveland stinks and talent wise can’t hold a candle to Amare, Carmelo and the Knicks but somehow Byron Scott’s squad is 3-0 this season against the boys from New York and to get a dozen or so tonight seems like a bit much.
I am not going to act as if the Cavaliers are going to sweep the season series because they’re not. The Knicks are going to win this game and fatten themselves up a bit as this soft schedule comes to bare but Mike D’Antoni’s team still is not playing well defensively and therefore can’t be laying such a hefty price. The Knicks looked flat out lousy in having to come back to defeat the Nets the other night allowing Brook Lopez and Kris Humphries to control a lot of the paint and are just not very good right now.
Since the trade with Denver things have gone fairly rough. Yes the New Yorkers looked really good in the comeback win down in South Beach about a month ago, and I do expect some wins coming up, but there have been a lot of losses since and therefore to get a number like this is certainly worth it. JJ Hickson has been playing at a high level and guys like Baron Davis, Ramon Sessions and Boobie Gibson are capable and worthy of a play tonight.
15-60 is beyond dreadful but three of those victories came against the Knicks and maybe, just maybe, there’s something to that. Even if not a dozen is a ton to get and always-backdoor territory.
For more information: That’s right, a 400,000* on UConn outright and a 300,000* On Butler. The only loser was the 200,000* Pirates plus 165 blowing a 3-0 8th inning lead. I am absolutely feeling great and continually destroying that Crookie and I mean destroying!
A pair of Sunday winners as I begin a new week with the same incredible results. Get another big-time 400,000* NBA underdog winner plus a 300,000* afternoon lock on the diamond. Two more fire hot locks! Rivers picks are up now at OffshoreInsiders.com
