I hope you're right.  Actually I'd prefer them winning by 50+ but I'll take 10+ I guess...

SacTown -2 @ 5Dimes now

Miami -5 @ a couple of spots

UNDER is at 199 @ most places..

.....just sayin'   

Sure... Not as much as at -4 of course, but I see a fairly comfortable Miami cover here. 

where?  I think you mean +1.5....

This line is gonna hit -2 in most places soon (it's already at -2 at some 'sharp' books)

-2 SacTown that is....

Over the last ten games, not including overtime, the Sixers have given up an average of 97.5 ppg vs those ten teams season average of 98.58... slightly more than a point less.  Of those ten games, only the Bucks and Warriors scored more than 1 ppg over their season average when the Bucks scored 102 (10.8 over their avg) and the Warriors scored 106 (3.1 over their season avg).  In fact, in six of those ten games, the Sixers D held their opponent to less than their season average. 

Am I looking at this wrong?  Appreciate your input

I like to look at the last 5 not 10 games.  Sixers have given up 103 ppg and 48% from the field in those 5 games.  Jazz are averaging 103 ppg in their last 5.  I know Jazz play even worse D than the Sixers right now, but they're still a team that can score points, especially at home.  In the January game, Philly was -2 point (SA = +4 on the road) favorites at home.  I know you need to consider that DWill is gone and Milsap is not playing tonight, but still that's a lot of points there.  Utah is still fighting for a playoff spot with 1 game out and this team is 18-15 SU at home.  Sixers are 12-21 SU on the road this year.  If I had to make the play, I would play the Sixers, but I'm choosing to pass here as I feel Philly is over-valued.

hehe...'finally some sharp action' eh?  Hopefully my picks are a little sharper than my 'comical responses'  :)

Spurs are 9-4 SU and 10-3 ATS in 2nd of b2b scenarios this year.  So you're telling me that ALL of their 4 losses on a b2b came on the road against teams that are top 10 in the league in home-defense. They are 9-0 SU on b2b against bottom 20 defensive home-teams.  What does that tell you? 

Thanks for the break-down.  I was not aware of that (overlooked it).  But now this confirms even more to me that Spurs struggle on the road against TOP defensive home-teams.

Good luck.  Go HEAT!

Just re-read my response, and this one above is not necessarily accurate.  I'm sure some of those 9 wins were at San Antonio...
