First NBA Pick of the Season (and a hockey guess)

Nothing looked good last night in the NBA, but tonight we found one we like. Also, one of those games they play on ice:

NBA

Suns +2.5 -114 (Matchbook), 1.14 units to win 1 unit

Over 60% of the bets coming in on the Spurs, but the line retreated from Spurs -3 to Spurs -2 at most books, which is the kind of thing we always notice. Also, I just like the Suns lineup better, especially with Manu sitting out for a while. Who is Oberto going to cover? Seriously. Duncan can't guard Amare and Shaq at the same time. Diaw and Barbosa coming off the bench is nice, too.

NHL

Minnesota +126 (Matchbook), 1 unit to win 1.26 units

Their nickname is apparently "the Wild." I wonder what their mascot looks like.
