I hate Thursday, specially when you see one play that looks oh-too-easy. I'm referring to the only game available so far and on the UNDER 195.0. Seriously, you pit the slowest team in the league with 90.9 Pace Factor (which simply translates to the number of possession a team uses per game) against a not so distant one with 96.0 pace factor (CLE) who is offensively challenged at the moment and takes too many out side shots. Portland even got better with Wallace in terms of defense and flexibility against the Cavs who could barely score past the century mark over a Sacramento Kings team who has allowed teams to go over 105+ points per game. With no look ahead angle whatsoever, expect this game to be dragged into the Blazers' pace and hold the Cavs to say 80-85ish at best. Portland could edge them and score say 90 to 100ish which is safe to safe a couple of points below the set total which should be safe. As for the side, I'd careless. LOL. Cavs can get their backdoor cover easy with that much points.
Other line predictions and leans:
At the rate the Bulls are playing, it's quite stupid to bet against them playing the lesser teams in the league. I suspect a CHI@NJN+6.0 187.5 type of line to come out. With the way the Nets are holding its own, running with a 5 game streak to the Bulls' 7 with no real look ahead angle, I can pretty much say Bulls is a safe bet. Boozer will still be out and Noah is pretty much ready for this game. Bulls or no play here.
Memphis should still be thinking about that buzzer beater loss from the Knicks a couple of days back and pretty much be looking forward to paying them back. I see a MEM+2.0@NYK 211.0 type of line here. A good lean on the Grizzlies here with or without Gasol. Knicks aren't playing really well after a couple of good wins early in March. Grizzlies are just doing its thing trying to keep a foot down on that 8th and final playoff spot (with 3 other teams still making a good run at it). That's pretty good motivation for a rested Grizzlies team if you ask me.
BOL.
