Who's not liking Denver now? I just can't seem to pass up on them even with the low line. You got to love how this team is performing. Screw the fact that they are 13-20 on the road, they've played well since the trade and it's pretty safe to safe that they got a good deal off Melo. Few days after the all star break, they hosted the Hawks as a 6.5 home favorite and managed to win by 10. It was almost a close game till the Nuggets broke the 4th quarter open. K-Mart is slowly being relevant again with TY and JR carrying most of the scoring load and at the same time being able to distribute. Hawks suck and I don't think that 9 points win over the Blazers or that 25 point win over the Bucks will do them any justice. Denver will be out to compete. It's not that I see the Nuggets dominating, I believe they'll be able to edge them out in the 2nd half. Denver Nuggets +1/ML is the play here. Hard call on the total, you just don't know which Hawks team will come out.
Two scrub of a team which you guys shouldn't bother capping. Here are the numbers. As for the side, Raptors are horrible on the road standing at 5-26 with a 13-16-2 ATS card. Detroit is okay at 16-17 SU and 17-16 ATS. They suck against a Bosh-lead Raptors team as seen in their head-to-head but now seem to be able to dominate the Raptors without their former star. It's also a safe play here for Detroit Pistons -4.5 because the season series is at 2-1 in their favor. I guess it's because the Piston's size that makes it hard for the Raptors to edge them out. Another fine bet in this game is the OVER 206.5 and it could go till 207.5 by game time. Both teams seem to careless on defense after the break and has broken the century mark in points allowed and scored a lot of times the past 10 games. They are a combined home-road O/U of 31-23-0.
OKC and MIA game seemed like a toss up. Anyway, here's an interesting stat. In games that Bosh scored 15 or more they are 34-12, where the interesting thing is that they've lose by 5 points or less in 8 of those 12 loses. Anyway, back to the matchup. It's somehow weird to be giving another streaking team 6.5 points even if Miami has won the last 3 games in a convincing fashion. The Thunders should present problem for them not to mention, they did played the Heat pretty close till they're edged out in the fourth quarter. Heat shot 50% to the Thunders' 40% in that game and managed to only win by 5. No play in this game right now but with 6.5 points for the Thunders it's either a gift or a bait.
Still need news on Nash in this game before making any play. If Nash is out, New Orleans -5.0 is the play and that's about it. The way I see it, Nash, the warrior that he is, can be ready to play for tomorrow's game. Might get more news/reports on this game first.
Somewhat a short line for the Magic right? They should've been kicking themselves after letting the Lakers right back in the game on their way out of Staples Center. Bucks are crashing and I believe this is a good spot to jump on them. Last game of a 5 game road trip that yielded them 2-2 at the moment. Not touching a side here yet though since the Bucks are still one of the better perimeter defending team out there.
Two scrub of a team here but the play is the UNDER 211.0 and should go higher in favor of the UNDER by game time so if you can hold out please do. What people don't see is that the Cavs no longer has the offensive efficiency they are enjoying earlier in the season. They are fielding no namers and has played terrible in their last few games barely scoring past 90 points their last 5 games. They should also have a hard time playing against the size of the Kings. Numbers shows the OVER is an easy play but I think so other wise.
Be back on writeups for the other two games. Leaning on Dallas and the 76ers.
BOL.
