The Pacers do have some injuries, so we backed off making
this a premium play, but things are looking better for one of their weapons. “It
feels better because I didn’t do anything (Wednesday),” Peja
Stojakovic said of his injured knee. “I’m hoping I’ll
be able to play. We’ll see.”
Jermaine O’Neal is a much better
player than he has shown so far, so it would be a shock if he does not bounce
back at home.
Going against road teams after giving up 75 points or less
when two teams that score 92-98 ppg is 41-10. Injuries and all, we have to take
a team that’s 27-14 SU laying a single point to a squad that is under.500 on

Godspicks.com is far and away the all-time top

No. 2 handicapper Statmaven Sports. They are on a 5-0 NBA run and have their
highest rated Wise Guy on the LA
Clippers-Denver side
· Staff Purchase Play, this is when we

star plays agree with the above sources, but the big story is they have 1000
star releases on the Miami-Chicago side
and total. Note: they release it as a parlay but we count the
records as individual plays. Also
their side agrees with the man who has become the rage of the industry Stevie Vincent of Knockout Picks is
52-17 all-time and has a Level 5 on
the same side

Ricky Roma has turned it around after a slow
start and has the Clippers-Denver total
as his biggest release in two months.

Thursday, Traber, replacing the injured Ryan Drese, made his Nationals debut and pitched 5 2/3 innings
and gave up four runs — three earned. He picked up his first win since
elbow problems. He had elbow reconstruction surgery that same year and didn’t

left fielder Matt Diaz, right fielder Jeff Francoeur
