NBA Pick of the Day 12/01/08

Today’s game of the day is Orlando at Boston. The current line on this one is Boston -8.5 with a total of 189.5.
Boston is 16-2 while Orlando stands at 13-4. Both teams are 9-1 in their last 10 games. Orlando plays well on the road and has a 6-1 road record. This should be a close game, although I think Boston wins it with their defense. 8.5 is just too big of a spread in what should be a fairly low scoring game. Dwight Howard should keep Orlando in this one if he can stay out of foul trouble. If he gets in early trouble, Lewis will have to carry the team. A. Johnson has done a good job filling in for J. Nelson. Turkoglu has been inconsistent.
Play: Orlando +8.5 1 unit.
