Giannis OUT

Gonna make some small bets on overs of Milwaukee players, Giannis out and wizards are shit on D should be good opportunity for them to score 

I wouldn’t count on it especially given how the wizards play on defense which favors the bucks. Bucks are great at scoring and shooting beyond the arc. These are the games that the bucks are still able to bully their opponents. Kris Middleton is an underrated scorer and Bledsoe is a bully when matching up against smaller guards. Brook is also able to stretch out the floor. Bucks have a very good bench too. 11.5 is still a big line.. but bucks at home I expect them to win by 7 at least.

Bucks won all 3 games that Giannis DNP this season against Hawks Pelicans and Orlando

Will this be a repeat of last night's game with the Rocktes @ the Jazz? Where there was a public over reaction, Jazz line moves up from 12 to -14, Jazz lose SU. A forum member by Treyinventor brought an interesting theory up. Called the "EWING THEORY" Simply put:

Popularized by Bill Simmons in the early 2000s, the Ewing Theory is quite simple. It occurs whenever a team inexplicably gets better after the departure of their star player, whether through injury, trade, retirement or other circumstances. Prime examples include the Knicks getting to the 1999 NBA Finals after Patrick Ewing’s titular injury, the Nationals winning an NL title after the departure of Bryce Harper, and the Patriots winning three Super Bowls in four years after Drew Bledsoe’s injury.

Will his come into effect again tonight?  Giannis out, public slams Wizards, line drops to single digits and the Bucks still cover the original 16.. I'm going to wait before tip off to possibly bet on the Bucks at a severely reduced spread.. 

This 

A true "OG" covers angle here...a good example of something one can learn on this site (yes they're still a few things around here that can be beneficial).  

Specifically, in the NBA it's the "star player is out" angle.  The Mavs the first game without Luca earlier this season when they beat the Bucks on the road (most recent example I can think of off the top of my head).  

Bucks dont really need Giannis to destroy Washington by 20+ Hawks did it so why not Bucks without Giannis

My friend and I actually follow this Theory. Majority of the time, teammates steps up when a star player is listed as DNP to prove they can win without "him". Just some hindsight

Since we're on this topic, I like betting against the team when a star player comes back first game as well. This has hit for me many times, a good example is the Lakers vs Celtics game with ADs return.

The question now is: How low will this line go? As of now, it's at 11.5 and I'm thinking that it can go as low as 10 come 7 o clock when Joe/Jane gets off of work and goes to make/place their bets before the games start.

I wouldn't trust Joe&Jane to actually know Giannis is out 

Drew Bledsoe concept was silly 

tom Brady was/is the goat 

the best player step in 

Yep...this definitely does not fall into the parameters 

line at 11.5 

Good info and theory--what does titular mean?

My friend, not to come off as rude but in this day and age, if you don't know/understand something, internet search it. I didn't know what it was too but I looked it up and found it. Just a quick, copy, paste, search and click...  Keep searching different web pages if one doesn't explain it well.
