With Saturday's big tilt between the Nets and Warriors going down I got curious about this...
The current line is 22/22.5. When the earliest offshore opener came yesterday afternoon that was -19.
You have to go back to 1993 to find the largest spread ever..The Phoenix Suns(this was Barkley's first year and they went to Finals) were -24 vs the Dallas Mavericks. They did not cover, as they won 116-98. That was an exceptionally bad Dallas team as they also caught +23 a few times. In their last 72 games, they caught +16 to +23 twenty-seven times!
Conversely, the Nets have been +16 or more just 3 times this year.
Anyway's, I think we could see a 24.5 by game-time tomorrow to set the record. What is your prediction?
