PERSPECTIVE...

Sometimes the lines just aren't meant for you to wager. This is advice that every capper should keep in mind. Today is a prime example... I've looked, studied, double checked and am still trying to find a winner but for some reason there is absolutely nothing that I like. Patience is key, sometimes you have to just sit back and wait for a winner to show itself. In a profession like this, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having patience... It's being smart with your money and bookies hate that.

FREE PICKS: LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS


This is my first FREE PICK in over a year but hopefully I can take time out to do this more often... I have many reasons for choosing this team but I'm gonna make the writeup short and sweet. Golden State is a whopping 18-3 this season which is pretty damn good even for their standards... I've watched every one of their games and the one thing that seems to effect them the most and IMO has been the biggest factor in their three losses this season is athletic big men at the 4 or 5 spot that can either produce points themselves and/or snag rebounds. The 3 teams the Warriors have lost to are the Spurs, Lakers and Rockets, and they all have a player or players that fit that mold. Some better than others but each of those 3 teams all have big men that produce... Tonight the Warriors play arguably the best big man combo the league has to offer in Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan and that is why I am siding with the Clippers here. Some extra tidbits to keep in mind tho, the Warriors have won 6 in a row against the Clippers and the Clippers have also lost 2 of their last 3... But I look for the +4 point HOME DOG to come out swinging tonight. Look for Jamal Crawford to be a key contributor to help keep it close if not get an outright win tonight.

LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS +4
