as per the thread I made for my Cavs play this past day, the Western Conf has seen a number of favs cover in recent times. My def. lean (based on statistical probability) would be for a Dog result to show up sooner rather than later in this SAS/UTH series. That said, I personally would like to see Utah as the generally popular play, since I dont think it can be ignored that they havent lost at home in these playoffs (and further, of 7 home games they've only had 1 of 7 wins of less than 10 pts: 6-0-1 ATS). They beat San An twice at home during the reg. season, and I dont see them getting carried away or being satisfied/happy with simply achieving that game 3 win.
Finally, I think most people see San An and Detroit as capable of winning their game 4s, but their respectiove opposition have both shown enough to suggest at least 1 of them will achieve a 2-2 series scoreline. As each game 3s have now been played out, Utah immediately looks more likely, over Cleveland, to be the one to potentially do so IMO.
