With all the respect to the Pistons, why are they favorites in Milwaukee? Bookies put the Bucks in the same category as Pacers, Orlando and so on (they actually were dogs by one point in Indiana just a week a go)?

 

[divol]

Logic says Wizards, since Portland simply lost the entire front court with now Kaman possibly joining the injury report of the Blazers and Batum will sit this one out probably.

This is one of those games whose line is so off, you have to assume it's telling you who to bet. Milwaukee hasn't lost 3 straight ATS this entire season: the only 2 previous occasions they lost 2 straight, they played @home each time: beat the Pistons by 12 pts/Under (-3.5) and Clippers by 5 pts/Over (+5.5).

fwiw:
Mil 17-10 ATS as a Dog (7-4 ATS getting 1.0-4.5 pts)
Det 5-10 ATS as a Fav (3-8 ATS giving 1.0-4.5 pts)

Mil is 8-3 to Under @home vs. the East, and 15-3 to Under their L18.
Det is 7-5 to Under away vs. the East, and 9-5 to Under their L14.

Won my last two a week or two ago. I will take the Knicks please. Playing better since Melo came back.

With you. Knicks are playing well, operating with major revenge. Killersports has 2 separate trends up an 0-8 and 0-11 ATS for the Hornets. Plus the Hornets last 2 games stunk.

 

[tuck321]

The refs certainly do not like home dogs. Milwaukee has been playing very bad and Detroit is playing with real revenge. Will look a little but like Detroit. In their last 4 games Detroit is up 32 rebounds. They also won at Toronto playing 5 in 7 while Milwaukee played a lousy game and lost to Toronto with a real rest edge.

 

[pip2]

fwiw:

Det 5-10 ATS as a Fav (3-8 ATS giving 1.0-4.5 pts)

.

Det's first 8 games as a favorite, they went 0-8 ATS. After dropping Josh Smith, they have gone 6-2 as a favorite.

 

[divol]

Updated the lines. Wizards from -2.5 to -5.5...

 

[divol]

And it dropped to -2.5 again in Portland...

Melo out. Kemba out too. Still like Knicks.

 

[Paulie The Vig]

Jose Calderon i(Knicks) njured last game, doubtful Saturday vs. Charlotte ( Knee)

Update: ​Jose Calderon Knee contusion apparently, didn't travel with team to Charlotte. Might be out for multiple games.

Asked myself the same question. Will be posting my thoughts in my betting thread today (I agree w/ you).

 

[emkee]

Wizards 4-18-1 ATS when favored on 2 days rest since 2009 (1-4 ATS this season).

 

[CASH]

wiz 1q over 49.5 large

Knicks cover. I have Won 3 in a row. No thread up for Sunday but I like Cavs -3.5 over Thunder. They are playing better since LeBron came back and they traded for Mozgov.

BOL

 

[BetCrimes1984]

whoever set the spread for the Det/Mil game needs to be sent back down to the linesmaker minors.

 

[tuck321]

Wizards 4-18-1 ATS when favored on 2 days rest since 2009 (1-4 ATS this season).

Awesome stat. wish I had seen it.

 

[tuck321]

In other news All-Star Capper who posts college basketball at Covers is currently 38-12 ATS this season but do not hurry over to get his picks. Plenty of time later when he really gets rolling.

Was actually wondering about the under in that game. 8 game under streak at home on Sunday as well as 17-3 last 20. Might not fit this spot though. Will think on it
