Interesting card:
Miami makes the short trip to Orlando:
I doubt Wade plays and Posey should return from the 1 gm suspension . Orlando has proved it needs Turkoglu to have any offense though Hill might be limited. I think we will have a total of something like 183 and Orlando should be at least -9 here... we have -11 and 176.5(was I off!!)...Basically with everyone missing the point about how poor Miami is w/o Wade they are creating value in Orlando. Orlando when all was well and healthy went into Miami laying -1 and won SU which would have put them about -8 in Orl at that time and Wade was playing!!. So how far off is -11 w/o Wade...it sreally where it should be the only question is ORL's overall level of play. Since then they have dropped off but alot of that had to do with Turkoglu's absence IMO. I think last nite in Wash was a great confidence booster and Miami will be hard pressed to duplicate that effort again here. They dont dont have much depth and they needed a career nite from Jason Williams in Chi to keep that from getting early. NJ is not better then Orl at this point and they had a 21-0 RUN against them in Miami's house!!!!!! They were getting crushed by Suns at home before they crawled back in the game and same atWash w/o Wade....I guess 1st Q might be the best avenue.....just check the games w/o Wade ...
A great pass the buck comment:
"In the time between the walk to the locker room and the walk back to the court, I don't know how it happened," centre Alonzo Mourning said. "You'd have to ask some of my teammates."
Charlotte off OT win vs LAL travels to Indy:
Bobcats rough spot playing 4th in 5 nites and off OT sessions with LAL at home. A team missing key players Knight and May could really struggle in such a spot. May's ankle was still sore so he didnt return maybe he does here. Char really only used Carroll and D.Anderson off the bench. Felton and Okefor played over 50minutes each (56 & 51 respectively). Primo Brezec played only 11 minutes so I am thinking he left with an injury??
"I'm hurting, no question," Felton said. "But this was one of the best games in history. I'm glad I was a part of it."
Seems that Indy opened at -11 looks somewhat high but looking for a total...186? Under Charlotte team ?? Keep in mind Char plays well in the past vs Indy 7-1 ATS I believe.. we have a 188 total...
Minny travels to NJ (played+3 -112)
Both playing 4th in 5. However NJ had to actually play where as Minny coasted. Only 2 Wolves played 31 minutes and KG was actually 4 of 15. NJ has struggled on backends going 1-5 SU. So for all the obvious reasons like Minny here....NJ trio played 38 minutes each....take the dogged West vs the East...Situation calls for under based on my research done before Minny last backend game on the road in Tor which broke the streak of unders...
Tor travels to Memphis:
Like Grizz with a new coach , outlook and 2 days rest against Tor playing on a backend having to travel down to Mem...lotta miles inbewteen. Raps seem to still be playing some uptempo ball and allow 107 on backends...over please 197!
Cle travels to Chi:
Bulls 4th in 5 but cavs only 3rd in 4. Bulls looking for revenge and this line seems high but that probably makes Bulls valueable. Would expect a total of around 191....we have 190.....The big knock is Cle and LeBron struggling on backends...
Wash travels to Milw:
Personally I feel that Wash is the better team and both are playing 4th in 5. So I do think Wash as is +3 is a bit high..now that I have looked at it though the fact Wash bench is real thin is something that hurts them. The total is high but you have to expect it to be close to that range...neither team has much of a bench and Jamison and Arenas played 46 minutes..Mo Williams 44 minutes..interesting game as MILW stunk but with Redd out of the picture seemed to rally....after looking at it again would lean Milw in this spot...
NO travels to Dal:
Probably expect a team Under for NO here.....huge line and 4th in 5 nites for the dog....obvious complete mismatch....Dallas 1st Q or 1st H..??
Port @ Utah
Blazers fourth in 5 and Utah on rest. Thinking Utah here after an ugly loss....should see low scoring game...but the total is tight....
Golden State @ Sac
Well the Kings let me down in LAC so no interest in them really....even though they are home....probably an over....Though GS is only 1-7 SU on backends and thin bench with Ellis Out...Kings more desperate...get huge markup for the now defunct Arco advantage...
Hate having to wait ofr team totals and Player props!
