So my winning streak is over, I went .500 last night, which means I lost money, but not that much. I'm still comfortably ahead.

Big night tonight. 11 games.

The Games 1/23  Odds are 1.90 unless otherwise noted

 Toronto (-12.5) over Philadelphia. I hope the Raptors can continue to improve, this is a good chance for them to keep their upward trajectory.

Cleveland (-10.5) over Charlotte. The spread is large, which is concerning, but Cleveland is seemingly getting it together and Charlotte isn't THAT good.

Miami (-3.0) over Indiana. Odds: 1.95. I think Miami is a decent count better than Indiana and I think 3 points is a reasonable bet.

Atlanta (-4.5) over Oklahoma City. The Hawks continue to roll and OKC had a tough game recently (overtime, which they won). I like Atlanta to win by more than 5.

New York (+2.0) over Orlando. Is New York figuring it out? I don't know, but Orlando isn't very good either.

Dallas (-7.0) over Chicago. Odds:1.95. Chicago had a surprisingly easy victory yesterday, but they still had to play and travel and Dallas is no slouch.

New Orleans (-6.0) over Minnesota. Always pick against Minnesota or Anthony Davis is playing. Either reason is good enough to take the Pelicans

San Antonio (-13.0) over Los Angeles Lakers. The Spurs played last night and got killed, which means they probably rested a bunch of people. Kobe isn't playing the rest of the season with a torn rotator cuff or something, this could be either good or bad. I'm going to lean bad because facilitator Kobe is awesome.

Denver (-7.5) over Boston. Boston played last night and has to travel to Denver altitude. Large spread for two teams that aren't that good but I like Denver to win comfortably.

Houston (+3.0) over Phoenix. This is a gut pick. Phoenix has been playing well and they're at home. But Houston is also quite good.

Golden State (-15.5) over Sacramento. Always pick the Warriors.

Very favorite heavy today. Go Wolves! This one is winnable!
