2008 Season NBA Basketball Past Picks

The Charlotte Bobcats struggled during the preseason and struggled against Cleveland in their opener. It is a young team, learning a new system under new coach Larry Brown. The onset of games seems to be the worst time as witnessed by their 33-point performance against the Cavs, and there is no reason to see a change this early on. The Heat played the Knicks new up-tempo offense and that certainly raises expectations for scoring here as well. They too, have a lot of different faces, and their combined 80 point first-half output against Sacramento is more indicative of what to expect here at the onset. I like this one to go UNDER the first half total.
