b2b from cali to utah... last game of a wc road trip...

need philly to win tonight to make this a play

 

[BetCrimes1984]

A bleh card for me. I've ice hockey I'm more interested in. No Monday NBA for me (*yay* cry those who partook of some Hou/Sas Over).

 

[tuck321]

GS first quarter

 

[divol]

Lakers SU should be money, as long as Curry is good to go.

 

[Phillyroom]

During this run the heat have had a difficult time getting going in the first Q esp on the road looking at the last 10 games...I think a 1Q bet on Orlando +4 -115 should be money

 

[nbafan88]

Miami 4th quarter again.

 

[GoIrish!]

love the grizzlies even thought it seems like a trap game??

 

[tuck321]

A little confused. Washington has this team listed as Enemy as they have won last 3 including jaunt at Washington.Gasol out for Memphis. Maybe Over? Just thinking a big part of Memphis D left with him but that is just a quick thought
In general Orlando has been soft in the first quarter but hate Miami and have covered last 3 and have covered last 4 at home on Monday. Have no real idea why they would make real effort to cover this 13 when Chicago is looking. High probability I bet Orlando

 

[nbafan88]

Wouldn't say it's a trap game. Line seems right.

 

[nbafan88]

Utah down to -7 now. Awesome.

 

[tuck321]

During this run the heat have had a difficult time getting going in the first Q esp on the road looking at the last 10 games...I think a 1Q bet on Orlando +4 -115 should be money

Quick look last 10 each I think its 3-7 each. Maybe an under bet?

 

[Phillyroom]

Agree Tuck...I think under 50 would be a better play

 

[nbafan88]

refs in gs are not laker friendly

 

[tuck321]

Took 13 and Orlando plus 7.5 with the first quarter under. Utah 2 quarter
GS first quarter
Still thinking

 

[divol]

Today Pacers will a lot of misses. Stephenson, Hill, West...

[h=2]HAWKS AT PACERS, 7 P.M. ET[/h] March 25, 2013 · 6:24PM
TV: League Pass

• Three Indiana starters will miss tonight’s game with injuries. George Hill (strained left groin) and Lance Stephenson (sore right hip flexor) will join David West (sprained lower back) in street clothes tonight against Atlanta. Both Hill and Stephenson were injured in the Pacers’ 87-84 loss in Chicago Saturday, but neither injury is thought to be more than a temporary setback. Indiana coach Frank Vogel said there’s “a good chance” both Hill and Stephenson will play Wednesday when the Pacers open a four-game road trip in Houston.

• West will miss his fifth straight game with a lower back sprain, but both he and Danny Granger, out since March 3 with left knee pain, could be available early on the road trip. Granger will practice Wednesday and if he responds well, Vogel said, he could be come off the bench in Houston.

• D.J. Augustin will step in for Hill at the point, with Gerald Green starting at shooting guard. Augustin has plenty of experience as a starter from his years in Charlotte. This will be Green’s sixth start of the season; he has averaged 9.2 points on .366 shooting in the previous five.

• The Hawks will be without Devin Harris (sore left foot), so former Pacer Dahntay Jones will get the start at shooting guard. “I like his presence defensively, his energy defensively,” coach Larry Drew said. “He gives is a guy we can allow to play one-on-one. He can defend three positions and with the versatility of this Indiana team, that’s important.” Jones has averaged 11.9 minutes and 2.5 points in 11 games with the Hawks. He was acquired from Dallas for Anthony Morrow on Feb. 21. Drew said Harris may be able to play Wednesday in Toronto.

• Because of the size of Indiana’s front line, Drew will start Johan Petro at center, with Al Horford at power forward and Josh Smith at small forward. Smith has struggled in two games against the Pacers, totaling 20 points on 9-for-24 shooting.

[h=2]GRIZZLIES AT WIZARDS, 7 P.M. ET[/h] March 25, 2013 · 6:15PM
TV: League Pass

• There aren’t many folks ripping John Wall these days — and with good reason. Over his last eight games, including four on a just completed road swing, the Wizards’ point guard is averaging 22.3 points, 9.5 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 steals. Those that did the knocking of the former No. 1 overall draft pick focused on his shooting woes. In that realm, Wall has certainly picked up his game, shooting 71.4 percent from beyond the 3-point arc, 54.9 percent from the field and 84.8 percent on his free-throw attempts.
• Wall will need to play at that All-Star level against the Grizzlies seeing as Washington will be without starters Nene (knee), Bradley Beal (sprained left ankle), Martell Webster (abdomen strain), plus reserves Trevor Ariza (flu) and A.J. Price. Garrett Temple and Wall are the only true guards among the Wizards’ nine available players.
• The Grizzlies have won three of four games, but have dropped three straight on the road. On the season, Memphis is 19-14 on the road with the 19 wins matching a franchise record. The franchise has never finished a season with a winning road record.
• Washington already owns 13 victories over Western Conference foes, its most since racking up 13 in 2007.
• Since acquiring forward Tayshaun Prince from the Detroit Pistons on Jan. 30 in a three-team deal that shipped Rudy Yag to the Toronto Raptors, Memphis has gone 18-6 including wins in 17 of its last 21 games. Starting 23 of his 24 games with the Grizzlies, the lengthy defensive presence is averaging 9.5 points
• After their 2-2 road trip, the Wizards host Memphis before leaving town for games at Oklahoma City and Orlando.
• The Grizzlies won the previous meeting 85-76 in Memphis on February 1 behind 18 points from Mike Conley Jr. and Marc Gasol tallying 13 points and 15 rebounds. Gasol (abdominal tear) is out indefinitely and will miss his second straight game.

[h=2]HEAT AT MAGIC, 7 P.M. ET[/h] March 25, 2013 · 6:01PM
TV: ESPN

• Dwyane Wade will sit out again as the Heat go for their 27th straight victory. Wade did not play Sunday in a 109-77 win against Charlotte, and coach Erik Spoelstra said the situation has not changed with the bursa sac bruise above Wade’s right knee. “Deep bruises can turn into something more from playing through it,” said Spoelstra. “The way he was, and he plays a physical game, it’s an opportunity for us to take care of it, hopefully right now, and we’ll re-evaluate tomorrow.”
• The Magic will play without center Nik Vucevic (concussion) and guard Arron Afflalo (torn hamstring), their leading rebounder and scorer, respectively. Vucevic had 25 points and 21 rebounds in Orlando’s 97-96 loss at Miami on March 6.
• This will be the Magic’s 23rd different starting lineup.
• Spoelstra spoke of the Heat’s streak, now seven games short of the NBA’s 41-year-old record of 33, as a distraction. “Everybody wants to think about something else,” he said. “We’re trying to improve our game; if success happens to be part of the process, we can’t be afraid of it.”
• HEAT LINEUP: LeBron James, Udonis Haslem, Chris Bosh, Mike Miller, Mario Chalmers.
• MAGIC LINEUP: Maurice Harkless, Tobias Harris, Kyle O’Quinn, E’Twaun Moore, Jameer Nelson.

[nbafan88]

So about those lakers....

 

[cogenman]

Yeah with Utah winning, and if Lakers lose, I think Utah is within 1 game of the Lakers and the 8th spot.

 

[B.A.R.]

During this run the heat have had a difficult time getting going in the first Q esp on the road looking at the last 10 games...I think a 1Q bet on Orlando +4 -115 should be money

I actually read this yesterday and started formulating my own opinion right before game and hit it. I know the under got talked about later but thankfully I didn't read that. Quick unit by 7:45 pm is always nice.

 

[nbafan88]

Too bad Utah doesn't have any more home games where the other team is coming in on a b2b.
