I always thought i could pick basketball so this year i will and keep my results on here...

tonight

Chi +2.5- 1 unit (to win 1.9)
Was -2.5- 3 units (to win 5.85)
Mil +6.5-1 unit (1.9)
Dal -3.5-1 unit (1.95). I would have bet more here but josh howard is suspended and i am not sure how much they will miss him.
Tor-Phi 190.5o- 1 unit (1.90)
Sea-Den 217u- 1 unit

moneyline- all bets of 1 unit
Tor (1.27), Bulls (2.25)- I dont know if its a smart gambling thing to bet the same game 2x...Spurs(1.4)

Those aren't to win. You are betting 1 unit to win .9 units (if your decimal odds are 1.90).

Any thoughts on these two picks for tonight's game:

Miami @ Indiana -7
LA Lakers +9.5 @ Phoenix

Making these picks primarily on these teams' respective showings in their first games. Miami looked weak and, even excluding overtime, Indiana played a tough team to a tie on the road.

Phoenix is obviously going to be a very solid team this season, but I think the Lakers are going to be decent and shouldn't be 9.5 point dogs in very many games this season. Thoughts?
