Pretty much a regular
First and foremost, I liked the Spurs at -1. Then it moved to +1 overnight. Now it's at +2, and I'm scratching my head. I could buy +123 at MB right now, or I could offer up 125, and I'd probably get that. I already HAVE an offer at 154 up, but that's just in case some overnight moron went ahead and grabbed it early. heh.
mrs.redbearde has the spurs to win by 6 (100 to 94), so we both like it, and that's going to be a redcon play. I've not really done anything with it yet because this sort of move often indicates an injury or food poisoning or something. I'm confused.
Yes, aside from the Mavs game, the Spurs haven't been playing well. And again, yes, aside from the Wiz game the Magic *have* been playing well. But I really thought the Spurs were going to win in Dallas even if Diggler was still in there, and in short, I think they've turned it around for the home stretch. I dunno if they can manage to win 1st in the West (course with no diggler and no Pau Gasol it's a distinct possibility), but there's no doubt in my mind that these West teams know they have got to win games. ...Orlando......not so much.
Spurs won the only meeting this season as a 6.5pt fave on November 21st...128-110. This was in Texas. Now they're at Orlando and getting 2pts? ooooook. a Pick is more like what I expected, and this business of the line moving from -1 to +2 for the Spurs I really really don't understand.
San Antonio is 3-9 ATS in its last 12 games
San Antonio is 18-7 SU in its last 25 games
San Antonio is 2-5 ATS & SU in its last 7 games on the road
San Antonio is 10-3 SU in its last 13 games when playing Orlando
San Antonio is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Orlando
I am also reminded of the Spurs being AT Orlando last year as a 6.5pt fave, and they lost on a last moment tip-in by Howard off an inbounds play...104-106. Anyone else remember that?
Now, yes, the Spurs have pounded them twice since then (holding them to 74 on March 2 07 and scoring 128 this season).......but not on their own court.
If they need any more motivation than their own playoff race, they always have that buzzer loss.
Orlando is 2-3-1 ATS in its last 6 games
Orlando is 6-2 SU in its last 8 games (losses to Washington & Atlanta)
this should be an interesting matchup as far as 3pt shots are concerned:
San Antonio is third in three points made allowed in the league with 5.2 per game.
Orlando leads the league in three points made with 9.7 per game.
If the Spurs hold the Magic to less than their average 3pt shots made, then the Spurs will be all but certain to win this game.
okay. we have Spurs +120.54.
it may go higher. But I'm impatient.
