Rest of December through MLK Discussion Thread

Lakers should roll tonight. They lost in Sacramento in a very painful way, but should get the W tonight.
 
No kidding. Have them over and then as a side. On 1 days rest Kings 13-4 to Portland 13-12
Portland is a mule fighting a very good team
 
i think that is part of it. Why have they not picked up Robin Lopez? They have a light bench and the players are already saying good bye. Off topic why are the Suns getting 4 points from the Clippers. My first estimate was around 6.5 or 7. They do best on 2 days rest and are great on Friday and are off 2 losses. The Suns are getting better but this is just very unrealistic

Played to OT too a little while back with a worse roster and Clippers were better then.
 
It will be funny if Hoiberg again replaces Thibs... because it worked so well for the Bulls...
 
Early lean Milwaukee still no refs this is not a good day for Boston so some interest in Nets
Kings 5-1 as a fav and not to impressed with Orlando

Can say tthis Dallas 6-2 ATS on Monday and is 6-0 ATS after their last 6 losses

In a revenge spot as well but agree with BAR about them losing a little gas.

Basically it's Mavs or nothing if you bet this game.
 
First bet Kings minus 5.5
Many leans. Spurs looked great till I saw 3 refs all like home dogs
The Kings have 2 refs that really like favorites in this range and one that is marginal and they like Monday and they just got back a very good player
 
ORL in town makes that Kings total not just bonkers for once. I'll be looking for a number LIVE .
 
Detroit plus 9 Dallas minus 2.5 Wanted Spurs but looking saw 3 refs all liking home dogs
 
Alternate broadcast of some Wizards games to focus on betting
http://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/i...betting-focused-washington-wizards-broadcasts

The future of sports-betting-infused game broadcasts will be on display Friday, when the Washington Wizards host the Milwaukee Bucks.

NBC Sports Washington Plus will produce an alternate broadcast for the Bucks-Wizards game that will feature a free-to-play predictive contest with a $500 prize, along with real-time sports-betting data and statistics that will be displayed on-screen throughout the broadcast.

Friday's game will be the first of eight that are scheduled to have the gaming-focused broadcasts, which were first reported by SportsBusiness Daily.

The predictive contest, "Predict the Game," will ask approximately 30 questions throughout the game, such as: "Will Wizards forward Trevor Ariza score 10 or more points in the first half?"

In addition, odds, point spreads and over/unders will be shown on broadcast graphics.

"Combining the excitement of live Wizards games with engaging predictive gaming and data feeds will deliver a very entertaining experience for viewers, from first-time gaming players to savvy sports bettors," NBC Sports Washington senior vice president and general manager Damon Phillips said in a news release. "The level of interest from fans, partners and sponsors in this area continues to increase, so we are pleased to offer this compelling product this season."

"It's the 1.0 version of where we're ultimately going," Zach Leonsis, senior vice president of strategic initiatives at Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Wizards, told SportsBusiness Daily. "This will get more advanced. ... The challenge for operators will be to make sure that the game play is supportive and not interruptive of the broadcast itself."

Last May, the United States Supreme Court overturned a federal statute that had prohibited states outside of primarily Nevada from offering sports betting. Since the decision, legal sportsbooks have opened in Delaware, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia.

The District of Columbia has passed legislation to allow sports betting, including at sports venues like Capital One Arena, home to the Wizards and Washington Capitals, but the law is awaiting final approval.

In recent months, NBC Sports has registered sports-betting-related web domains, including NBCSportsbook.com and NBCSportsSportsbook.com.

Additional alternate broadcasts are scheduled for Wizards games on Jan. 27 at the San Antonio Spurs, Jan. 30 against the Indiana Pacers, Feb. 2 against the Bucks, Feb. 22 at the Charlotte Hornets, March 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, March 19 against the Utah Jazz and April 5 against the Spurs.
 
With the B2B scheduled with Sixers again tomorrow I think if Washington scores 95+ they'll cover and the game will go over the total.

Wizards +8 -105
Over 227 -102

n:rest = 0 and line>8 and no:team = o:team and division!=o:division and playoffs = 0 (can also do it without the non-division angle, also adding revenge-game situation makes it even better)
 
Celtics an offensive machine tonight

Wizards better again this year w/o Wall

San Antonio a no-show so far in Memphis

Good game in Houston

Nawlins finally waking up vs Cleveland just before halftime
 
C's offense has been clicking due to great ball movement and an assists greater than buckets mentality....Tatum does not seem to understand this but he's hot so he's getting away with it....Morris either but he's always been that way and he brings a toughness that is sorely needed on this team....line is 2.5 so feels like trap but I can't see this team changing enough to lose this game tonight....B2B so I haven't seen lineups yet, not sure if anyone is resting....and they are doing all this with Kyrie sitting or facilitating...the guy gets bazball...after last nights explosion and the Heat's obvious attention to D I suspect the under will be a good option tonight and may be the better play than the side....but not sure
 
Looking at stats from Lakers - Pistons game...
Blake in 37 minutes had zero rebounds... that's just amazing...
