Analysis: Reigning MVP Derrick Rose is averaging 21 points, 4 boards and 9 assists per game. He’s turning more into Magic Johnson and less into Michael Jordan every day. That’s actually a good thing for Da Bulls since Chi-Town is one of the deepest, maybe the deepest, teams in the NBA this season. D-Rose just laid the wood onto New Jersey with a 22 point, 8 assist game on Jan. 23. It was his first game back since taking time off because of an injury. The dude is back and Miami doesn’t appear to be all that much better this season than they were last season. LeBron is still scoring 30 points per game while Bosh is dropping only 21 meaning that Miami is taking way too many jump shots. Plus, D-Wade is questionable for the game on Jan. 25. He may not be 100% on Sunday, but he will play, forcing the hand of the lines makers who will have no choice but to make the Heat a favorite north of 3 points in this contest. I’m backing Chicago, Derrick, and the Bulls on Sunday.
Pick: Chicago Bulls
San Antonio Spurs at Dallas Mavericks

Analysis: Dirk is expected to miss the next Maverick game on Jan. 27 against Utah. By the time Jan. 29 rolls around, Dirk will have not played in a game since Jan. 19. That’s quite a bit of time to be off in the NBA. To make matters worse, the Mavericks face the San Antonio Spurs, a team that put a 93 to 71 beat down on them on January 5th. Dallas is 7 and 2 against the spread at home this season, but a returning to the court Dirk is not the same as a Dirk that’s been on fire. San Antonio’s Tim Duncan was on fire in his last game, though, on Jan. 23, putting up 28 points and grabbing 7 boards. There’s question as to whether T. Duncan can continue to be hot, however.
The Spurs will be favored, I think, depending on what Nowitzki says early Sunday morning, but my gut tells me that the Mavericks step it up. Dallas has gone 3 and 0 in their last 3 since Jan. 19th meaning that they’ve won two in a row with Dirk on the bench. Dallas should be very tough on Sunday at home and the line, because it will be Dirk’s first game back, will be more than fair. I’m going with the Mavericks to turn the tables on the rival San Antonio Spurs on Jan. 29.
Pick: Dallas Mavericks
Los Angeles Clippers at Denver Nuggets

Analysis: Chris Paul is expected to play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. Pro Basketball betting handicappers should expect CP3 to be at full strength on Sunday. He’ll need to be if the Clippers have any hope of covering the spread, much less beating the Nuggets, on Jan. 29. Denver is a solid squad. They’re 12 and 5 ATS overall and 5 and 3 ATS at home this season. The Nuggets average 106 points per game, tops in the NBA. They’re 6 and 1 straight up in their last 7 going into their Jan. 25th game and 4 and 2 against the spread in their last 6 going into their January 25 game. The Nuggets are going to be very tough for the Clippers to handle this Sunday. So, I’m not going to try. Even with CP3, Blake Griffin, and a solid overall squad, the Clippers are proving to still be the Clippers. I’ll back the more cohesive team, the Denver Nuggets, to cover the spread in this matchup on Sunday.
Pick: L.A. Clippers
