Magic @ Pistons LEAN MAGIC +6 or higher
Played and leaned Detroit game 1 all the way. The public seemed to like to take the points with the Magic getting more than a touchdown. Now, after one game everyone has flopped. Seeing the Pistons at -6 as easy money. I have to disagree. The Magic did not play at all to their potential and the game got away from them in the 3rd. They had been on a terrible layoff and it caught up to them and their legs in the 3rd/early 4th. Orlando remember was badly outplayed vs. Toronto after the 1Q in game 1 after a few days off... a similar situation took place here. I expect Magic to either win SU or lose this game by a bucket. I like the Pistons in 6 but could easily be 2-2 after 4 games.
Spurs @ Hornets
I'm betting with the better team here. Fact is, the Hornets are that. Situationally there is no better spot than the Spurs here. Champs, backs up against the wall, must-win, proven road team, etc. etc.
People... this team is slow and aged. Duncan is a step slower than West on defense and doesn't have any offensive advantage over Chandler when trying to score against him. Ginobli, a lefty, either has a lightning quick Pargo on him or Mo Pete who plays him to his left every time... thus cutting away those easy lay ups he had all over the Suns. Paul, like against Kidd, is just too much and no one can defend him. The Hornets should have been down big at some points in this game and won going away. They have a lot to improve on... and I don't know what kind of adjustments Pop can make... too many good shooters and too good an interior defense for the Hornets.
Going against the line movement tonight... Vegas threw some bogus lines out there with the Pistons at -5.5 and Spurs at +2.5 to suck in tons of action. You would normally think... can you go wrong with betting the Pistons/Spurs with such small spreads? I think in this case, yes.
