NBA Injuries and Issues for Wednesday

Darko Milicic had an ankle injury that everyone but him seems to think is serious.

"I'm going to play," he said. "It's not that bad."

call him day to day. fuck if I know.
 
Kevin Martin suffered the killa curse and went down with a sore pussy. Keep an eye out on its severity. The Kings did manage a win....
 
Manu Ginobli has a jammed finger on his shooting hand, and he's being called a gametime decision.

Already down one Tim Duncan, who the hell knows what this means for the Spurs chances against the Mavs.
 
Devin Harris went down with a neck...something...in the Bulls game, but he plans on playing against the spurs. Sounds like this one means a bit more to the Mavs than it does to the Spurs.

"Stiff or not, I'm playing," Harris said.

and I don't think he's talking about an erection...
 
Bulls @ Bobcats

Bulls are off a loss to Dallas Monday.
Bobcats are off a loss to half of Toronto Monday.

Bulls beat down the Bobcats on Saturday...Don't think revenge here, though. You have to be at least marginally competent to be a threat at revenge, and the kitties aren't.

Anderson Varejao will not be going to Charlotte.

after this one,

The Bulls next game is at Detroit on Friday as part of a B2B - they go home to face Boston on Saturday.
The Bobcats get 2 days off before hosting a beatable Cavs team on Saturday. ...that is unless Lebron gets his finger out of his ass and actually plays a game.

Chicago is 4-12 ATS in its last 16 games
Chicago is 4-12 SU in its last 16 games

If there's even a shred of value in this one as a ML dog, I'll be on it.
 
Suns @ Raptors

Suns beat the Pacers on Tuesday night 121-117. Suns did not cover a 6pt spread.
Suns are on a 3rd in 4, AND in the middle of a 4 in 5 with travel. AND 5th in 7.
take a look:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/pho/schedule

Raptors beat the bobcats in a scrimmage on Monday. Raptors go to Boston on Friday. Light week.

Suns regularly play 8 guys. This matters in a rungame.

Tuesday,
Nash played 39 mins
Bell played 38 mins
Marion had 40 mins
Hill played 36 mins
Amare had 35 mins.

Suns starters all had over 30 mins on Sunday too, fwiw.

Suns were 3 of 16 from 3pt range against the Pacers.

Most of the Raptors have been taking it easy nursing injuries. Ford, Bosh, and Bargnani would be a lot of help vs the Suns. But, with them out, there may be some remarkable value on the Raptors.

Raptors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.

This is a spot in which it might make some good sense to take the points. Especially if there are a lot.

when it's announced that lebron's career has come to an early end due to his injured finger, im going to give you mad props
 
Cavaliers @ Bullets

Looks like no Lebron

Cleveland is off a loss at home to NJ last night. Cavs are on a 3rd in 4. Cavs are on a 4 game losing streak. Cavs scores for the last 4 games are, in order, 74, 82, 70, 79. Detroit and Boston are good defensive teams, but Toronto held them to 82????

Bullets are off a lot of rest. The last played on Saturday when they beat Toronto at home.

next,

Cleveland goes to Charlotte on Saturday.
Bullets host Phoenix on Friday. Today's game starts a one game every other day thing for the Bullets until the 15th...with only 1 road game (Miami on the 13th)

Cleveland is 1-3-1 SU in its last 5 games

Washington is 4-11-1 ATS in its last 16 games at home
Washington is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home

Washington allows the most three points made in the league with 8.4 per game.

Favorite is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
Road team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings.

I have pretty much no interest in this one unless the Bullets are a dog. And I just can't see that happening.
 
Knicks @ Nets

Stephon Marbury is highly questionable. And he may not play. hahaha. No one knows what he'll do, but the speculation earlier in the week was that he may miss as much as a week's worth of time, and he did miss out on Monday and Tuesday practices.

If you can figure out what to do with the Knicks at PG, then send a resume to the organization.

Knicks haven't played since they blew their wad in the 3rd on Sunday, and tripped over their limp dicks in the 4th against the Suns.
Nets gave the Cavs a beatdown on Tuesday.

Carter played 35 mins.
RJ played 36 mins.
Kidd played 30 mins.
Allen played 33 mins.

No one else had over 25.

This is the last of a 4th in 5 for the Nets.

Knicks play at Philly Friday, and then host Philly saturday.
Nets host Houston on Friday.

New York is second worst in field goal percentage against in the league at 47.1.
New Jersey is the third worst offensive team in the league at 90.0 points per game.

The Knicks have not yet won on the road so far this year.

Knicks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 2 days rest.
Knicks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games.
Nets are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games overall.
Nets are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day.
Nets are 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games.

Home team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
Knicks are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
Knicks are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in New Jersey.

something's gotta break. either Jersey performs well at home, or the Knicks get a win on the road.
 
Pistons @ Hornets

Pistons just finished beating up on the Hawks.
Pistons are finishing up a 4th in 5 on the road. This is it.
Pistons go home after this game - it ends their road trip.

Hornets are well rested off beating the Mavs in OT on Saturday.

Last time these two teams met was in January, and the Pistons won 92-68.

Pistons have been SCARY good recently with their motion offense, and the starters haven't bothered to play in the 4th Q.

last night,
Billups played 30 mins.
Rip played 33 mins.
Dice played 32 mins.
Prince played 33 mins.
Sheed played 16 mins (foul trouble)
Maxiell played 33 mins.

Detroit finally lost a quarter of a game when the Hawks bench couldn't miss in the 4th and cut a 25pt lead at 9mins to an 11pt lead at the end of the 4th.......

Detroit has allowed the third fewest points in the league at 92.7 per game.

Pistons are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Wednesday games.

Hornets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a home underdog.

Pistons are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings in New Orleans.
Road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

If you bet this one either way, you're a braver man than I am.
 
Grizzlies @ Rockettes

Grizz lost to Portland at home on Monday (BWAAHAAAHAAHAAA!!!)
Rockets lost at SacK to end a road trip on Saturday.

Grizz go to New Orleans on Friday.
Rockets go to New Jersey on Friday.

last meeting was on Nov 13 when Memphis won 105-99.

Steve Francis is a gametime decision.

Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Houston.
Grizzlies are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

Killa likes the over in this one. I think the only way the over doesn't hit is if the Rockets cover. Memphis doesn't give up, and they'll likely sneak in a backdoor moose on chalk buyers in the event that they aren't competitive.

just my opinion.
 
the scenario that makes sense to me here is that they might be working a trade with him, but that would be galactically stupid. I mean...eating one's own shit stupid.......
 
how about can opener teeth turiaf for the lakers ? still out ?

bynum in the hospital for flu-like symptoms yet was seen scratching
the red blotches circulating his vagina filler ? what ?

kobe still sniffling and sneezing wiping his nose tonite with colorado snatch
is a definite possibility .

if chris mihm is the only BIG does melo score 45 ?

if chris mihm is the only big will he pass out on the floor from exhaustion
and will iverson do the double dutch hop skip over his snoring head
leading to a martin dunk where he pounds his chest like a complete
ignoramus afterwards ?

will he clutch his rice krispies in a ziploc bag knee and require an mri
on thursday ?

keep us posted and thank you for these injury updates ?

air france is grounded ?
 
The Cavs expect Anderson Varejao to join the team very soon - like over the weekend soon.

http://www.ohio.com/sports/cavs/12142001.html

bizarre...

After months of being unable to get a deal done with the Cavaliers, Varejao accepted a three-year, $17.4 million offer sheet from the Charlotte Bobcats late Monday, Varejao's agent, Dan Fegan, said. The deal has an opt-out clause after two seasons, which is the key part of the deal.

Because Varejao is a restricted free agent, the Cavs have the right to match the offer in the next seven days. The team did not make a public comment Tuesday because the offer sheet did not arrive by the end of business.

But team sources said the Cavs will match the offer and Varejao will likely be with the team within the next week.

However, there's a chance the team will wait a few days to do so as it evaluates options with the roster. The Cavs currently have the maximum of 15 players on the roster and would prefer not to cut a player, so they might seek to move a player or players through a trade before matching the offer.

There have been plenty of offers and supposed offers by the Cavs and Varejao since July. Tens of millions of dollars apart when talking about four- or five-year deals, the sides eventually started focusing on the length of the contract more than dollars. This is largely because Varejao's side seemed more focused on when he could become a free agent again instead of the value of the contract.

Spockgato, I only post updates I see.......if you want the most recent news on a guy, go to google and put in his name and "rotoworld", and you should get something useful...or useless.

Mavericks @ Spurs

Tim Duncan is Out. Ginobli is questionable.
Devin Harris is Probable. Devean George is doubtful. Eddie Jones is Doubtful.

Mavs are off a deceptive score in Chicago on Monday. The game had a wider margin, and then in the last minute the Bulls tried to fuck mavs backers like Amaechi.

Spurs are off a win (surprise!) at home to Portland on Sunday.

Last time these two met was Nov 15, and Dallas smoked the Spurs pretty much from beginning to end.

Next,

Dallas goes home to face Denver on Thursday.
San Antonio stays home to face Utah on Friday.

Dallas leads the league in free throw percentage with 84.5.

San Antonio is third in the league in field goal percentage at 48.3.

Denver beat the batshit out of Miami at home on Sunday.

next,

Lakers go home to face GSW next Sunday.
Denver goes to Dallas to lose to the Mavs on Thursday, and then they come home to beat the shit out of SacK on Saturday.

The lakers seem to be sharing a stomach flu right now. Between that, the B2B, the altitude, and the Nuggets running all over and around them, I gotta think Spock's right and the Nugs will crush em tomorrow.

I see a "doubtful" for Turiaf, though I think they'll call him questionable...

http://www.dailynews.com/ci_7620413?source=rss

Kwame Brown is Out.

Bynum does have the flu, and he apparently smooched Kobe, cus he has it too....but Kobe was able to start on Tuesday. Maybe Kobe has to sit out tomorrow? That would rock for Nugs backers...

On Nov 29, the Lakers beat the hell out of the Nugs 127-99.

Los Angeles is second in rebounds in the league at 44.9.

Bucks are off a comeback win over the Clippers on Tuesday. letdown.
Warriors are off a close loss to the Magic in OT on Monday. bounce back.

Next,
Bucks go to Seattle for Friday.
Warriors host Miami on Friday - that should be funny.

Pietrus sat out Monday's game after taking an elbow to the face. All tests came back negative, so he may well play again for this one.

Bucks are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings.
Road team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

I'm sure I missed something. Go read BAR's thread about this one.
 
Clippers @ Sonics

what a shitty pair of teams. 2:1 on either side would be worthwhile as a ML dog. I can't imagine taking a pick'em for either of them.

Clippers just let one slip away to the bucks on Tuesday night.
Sonics got torched by the Warriors on Sunday night.

Next,
Clippers go to Sacramento for Friday.
Seattle hosts Milwaukee on Friday.

Al Thornton is day to day.

Delonte West hurt his foot in practice and was diagnosed with planter fasciitis. That hurts the Sonics a LOT. Ridnour may start coming back, but they're going to ease his torn quad back into the lineup. Nick Collison might play. Sonics fans can rejoice at Swift still being out.

Clippers won the last meeting on Nov 4 115-101 as 6.5pt favorites.

HAHAHAHA...

right now...there are offers up on MB for

Clippers -168, -169 for a little less than a grand between the two
and
Sonics -345, -380 for a little more than a grand between the two

that's funny to me.

hate to have to set the line on that one...........
 
Yea i wonder about those dudes on realgm sometime. Tough to go there and have a non biased debate..
 
By the way the lakers should call up Koby Carl from the D league.. or at least let someone else give him a chance. I also think JamesOnn should be on a roster
