*** Los Angeles Clippers @ New Orleans Pelicans ***

"good team in a good spot against another good or bad team in a bad spot or even a bad team in a good spot against another bad team in a bad spot"

lines are typically high in these situations which means you typically have a 50/50 shot to win.  which is why its better to find high value situations with points on your side

Griffin and Paul played their worst basketball of the year last night.

Not tonight dudes. Clips -5.

I agree.  this is the point in the season where doc rivers pushes his guys to string together wins and gain playoff momentum

Especially after smoking OKC. Clippers come out with the same momentum and intensity before the flight home to LA. Pelicans. Rivers will make sure of that.

Line moves to -4. Doubling up.

HUh??  They beat OKC early yesterday.  Ya Crawford had 36 but I think Paul had 18 and Griffin 20.....i think.  Def not their worst bro.  going to OKc and winning is pretty damn good if you ask me.  They have to step up the D in the paint but besides that they are doing good.  This very well could be a let down spot for them.  NO with rest are going to give it all to beat a good team.

If you answer what my system says for the GS @ Det game, then I will follow you hard on NO.

Anyways BOL and I enjoy your picks with your write-ups. 

No strong lean in that one to be honest, don't want to steer you in the wrong direction. GL

Doesn't every team? Crawford's comments doesn't mean much as it was an answer to a question a reporter asked him about the ending of the season being just around the corner. What do you expect him to say? Also, this isn't a play based on just a letdown, it is also a lookahead for the clips, a b2b after a game in OKC, and a very favorable spot for the Pelicans who are playing a revenge game after 3 straight close losses. Plus I don't see the Pelicans as being a bad team, they've been competitive this year unlike the sixers, bucks, magic, celtics etc who i refuse to make any bet on anymore

You're right, not their worst, especially against a team like okc, but I would expect them to play a little better against the Pely defense.

Philly should be thrown oughta the league.

I could never fathom a play on the sixers this year, no matter the situation, they are a terrible team that lost by 40+ 2 straight games.
