OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper<\/a> Matt Rivers has a Wednesday winner and it is on the Atlanta Hawks (+9) against the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n Reasoning: I won\u2019t say that I love this game\u00a0two because frankly it seems a little easy to me and that more times than not is the kiss of death in the NBA.<\/p>\n If you take the names off of the jerseys from game one and ask anybody, sports fan or not, who the better team was it wouldn\u2019t even be close. Larry Drew\u2019s team manned up in a big-time way and flat out deserved to win that first game. Nobody has ever disputed the talent on this Atlanta team. It has been more about their Heart and killer instinct. Guys like Joe Johnson and Josh Smith just seem to fade off into oblivion at times and not play up to their All-Star capabilities. But\u00a0Johnson and his 34 points showed in that last game how good he could be, Jamal Crawford has been balling and Smith along with Al Horford can play big and do some good things. These guys upset Dwight Howard and the Magic in the first series and now took game one at the United Center, a place\u00a0where very few teams\u00a0have been\u00a0successful.<\/p>\n Tom Thibodeau\u2019s team will come out and play with some anger, which you can bet on. But both Derrick Rose and Carlos Boozer are\u00a0banged up, if not \u201cinjured\u201d, and all of a sudden this 62 win Chicago team has become extremely vulnerable in the playoffs. The\u00a0Pacers looked to be the superior team in a lot of the last series but\u00a0couldn\u2019t close the deal\u00a0late in games. Now in game one of this series it really wasn\u2019t even close. So all in all to get another large number like this with the far healthier squad and quite possibly\u00a0all of a sudden the more confident squad makes me\u00a0fine with the visitors from Atlanta.<\/p>\n Top expert pick<\/a> on this game: Atlanta Hawks from Matt Rivers<\/p>\n Now the winningiest sports service off all-time GodsTips has a baseball pick and preview. It\u2019s to go with Tampa -119 to the Toronto Blue Jays.<\/p>\n Reasoning: Tampa has won 7-of-9. The Rays are 26-8 against the Blue Jays at Tropicana Field.\u00a0 I can\u2019t lie, this angle has random chance contributing, but still we can\u2019t completely ignore that Rays are 19-3 in Niemann\u2019s last 22 starts during game 2 of a series.<\/p>\n Sports service picks<\/a>: Tampa in MLB from GodsTips anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Atlanta Hawks are at the Chicago Bulls, while the Dallas Mavericks are at the Los Angeles Lakers.
