NBA Contest Day 9 Tuesday 1/26

guys and gals pls make sure that the line you post is the exact available line at that posting time, meaning if Blazers opened at -2.5 but were -5 when you decided to post then you get them at -5, I don't always have time to check so let's self police and be honest...not calling anyone out just noticed some possible discrepancies as I read thru the thread

Clippers -1.5 man I hate betting the Clippers as they are usually my Achilles heel but a couple factors make me go once more unto the breach dear friends. I like the fact that Doc called out his bench after the disastrous Raps game. They had been performing well up to that point but fell flat that game, it happens and I expect them to get back on track. Indy just went thru a very rough road trip which saw them play 4 Western opponents and allow and average of 113ppg. They are definitely missing Mahinmi on the inside as they gave up many points in the paint (58,56,54) and a ton of free throws (36,25,29,38) and FG % (45,48,50). Their defensive rotations are not sharp right now like they were when they beat LAC way back in early December. At that time Indy was on fire, winners of 12 of 14 and George was unstoppable. They benefited by Paul being a late scratch and Redick getting hurt in the 1st minute of play. Indy also got 39 free throws and somehow held DeAndre to only 2pts and the entire Clip team to 38% shooting. The script has flipped and I can't imagine that Indy wants to come home from a long West rd trip to face yet another Western foe who has a chip on their shoulder and are healthy at the exact right time to catch a Pacers team whose defense is in disarray. I envision LAC having a big enough day either in the paint, at the line or from 3pt land enough to get this cover as George is logging too many minutes to pull them out of this contest for a full 4qtrs and doubt Mahinmi will play with that ankle.

UNDER ( LAC &IND ) 207.5
