Anyone laying -17 with utah

SocrAndrew7, if you want to lay the 9 points in the first half, it's not a bad idea at all.   The last two times the Kings had to play unrested on the road after feeling the relief of snapping a losing streak, the halftime scores were 73-43 (in Phoenix) and 70-50 (in Dallas). 

It sure is.  I'm sending it in on this one.  Hate to sound jinxy, but the truth is that to me, I feel like this is stealing.  In fact, I may have to consider turning myself in after the game.

where do you see he's out, the lastest i heard is that hes probable?

Latest News:
Kings forward Drew Gooden did not travel with the team for Saturday's game against the Jazz. Gooden's status for Tuesday's game is unknown, but considering the chronic nature of his injury we're not optimistic. The Kings play just twice next week, making him an even riskier option.

Bobby Jackson is as old as the hills, and prefers to play no more than 25 minutes per game.  That's why he comes off the bench.

thank you........

This is what I wrote in Pick-N-Pop's thread, addressing this very concern.

The Cavs take care of business at home, but when Mike Brown inserts the Five Stooges to finish up in the 4th quarter, a lot of those 20-30 point leads wind up as wins in the teens.  That's what happened against Memphis, too.  The end of Utah's bench is able to focus a lot better than the end of Cleveland's bench, and the Grizzlies are fight-to-the-death warriors compared to the completely depressed, quitting Sacramento Kings.

You're tough to please!

I agree with most of the comments in here.  Jazz should pound the Kings, but there is always the risk that they turn off the afterburners in the 4th.

There are 2 scenarios in this game - Jazz blow game open early or they cruise to the break and then make a surge in the 2nd half.

Either way it will be a good Jazz win - whether they cover the 17 Im not sure.

For me the best play would be to take the Jazz to cover the first half.  At worst, you can double up on the Jazz 2nd half line.

If anyone's in the mood to watch some piss poor defense from an entirely disinterested, beaten team, I urge you not to miss the first half of action at Energy Solutions Arena.

They will be having the funeral for long-time owner Larry Miller at Energy Solutions Arena this afternoon, and it looks like all Utah players and coaches will attend. It makes for a difficult turnaround, because the time that the services will end is right around the time that the players would usually be coming to the arena anyway. Just think this will create a somber mood and a slower pace for the jazz. I know I am new and do not post much but this is a huge play for me today. Best of luck to everyone

All of that may be true, but every game is like a funeral for the Sacramento Kings.

Yes, I laid -8.5 and added a -8.5/over 108.5 parlay.

Are you playing the game as well Bator?

Heck yeah.  Pounded -16.5 at plus money early this morning at Matchbook.
