94-76-2 ytd


Raptors -12.5 (making a nice sized play on this )

Time to lay some serious wood. Raps are 15-6 ATS, and 15-6 SU @ home. There 6 ATS/SU losses come against BOS, Orl, GS, Lakers, Cleveland, Clippers.

There 15 wins this season they have won by an average of 17 pts.

This couldn't have been set up any better by the T-Wolves winning tonight against the Jazz. The biggest strength the Wolves have is Al Jefferson...good thing the Raps gotta a All Star in Bosh...Toronto has a great perimeter game, Minny is a terrible shooting team.

Minnesota is 1-4 ATS this year when winning @ home, and traveling on the road for there next game. There only ATS win was @ Boston in the first rematch of these teams since the trade...

If your even thinking of taking MN here, then by all means jump on the ML.

Det/Utah current line @ -1.5...would take this line, but will wait and see if I can get 1, pk or even plus money on the jazz

• Just a quick trend Detroit is 1-7 ATS in he last 8 meetings. Even during the 2004/05 Champ. Utah won the series 2-1.
• Detroit currently in the middle of 3/4 OTR
• Jazz coming off a road loss as a favorite this year with there next game at home are 6-0 SU.
• Jazz 17-9 ATS, and 24-2 SU in Utah this year, only losses to Houston 1st game of the season and Portland during there big winning streak

Det..basically has this game and the game against Bos on Saturday that are important until a 8 game stretch in the middle of March till the end of March where they play Clevx2, Denv, SA, NO, Pho, and Tor.

A very typical sandwich spot for a Detroit team that has very easy victories on deck, and has won 3 in a row. A small loss here to the Jazz who own them is not going to make or break this team. The real test will be when they play Boston on Saturday and then when the real grind comes in 2.5 weeks.

Phoenix/NO -3.5

Phoenix +3.5/ML when it becomes available.

2 words......TRIPLE REVENGE

Phoenix stinks on b2bs, but this is all about situations...and Phoenix takes this one SU.

NO on three SU losses against San, Hou, and Washington. After they opened up after the ASB against Dallas.

NO has been favored in this spot 3 times and all 3 they lost SU. Also look at there Home record against top tier teams, sure they beat PHO, and Dall....but whom else?

 

[Marlo]

Boston/Lebron James +7.5 (insert jaw dropping emicon here)

Boston's top 3 has been traveling for the last 3 weeks. They finally got home last night. Now they have LBJ and the new look CAVS on deck. Of course the LBJ lost tonight, the writing was on the wall...big look ahead to tonights game.

Boston just finished up 5 games in 6 nights, against the W.C.s running teams, factor in a little jet lag, finally a good nights sleep in there bed for the first time in 3 weeks...and I think we have a team that comes out completely flat.

They played on Feb 5th @ Cleveland and LBJ won 114-113 Boston was favored by 3....KG didnt Play

They played on the 2nd of December and LBJ didnt play...@ Bos....Boston won 80-70 in a complete snoozefest

They played in Cleveland November 27th and LBJ won 109-104, Cleveland fav by 3.5

Something to consider as well KG and Wally dont care for each other....and worthless Larry Hughes is not playing.
