PHO: Off: 108.4 Def:114.9
WASH Off 102.6 Def: 106
Round Up/Down Numbers:
PHO 108+115 =223
WAS 103+106 =209
The difference between the two numbers is 14 divide by 2=7
209+7 =216
The line stands at 219. A three point difference then our 216. Doesn't wanna make me run to bet the under, as I like at least a 5 point cushion.
Mia/Phi = 199.5/ Vegas Line = 199.- 0.5 off
Pho/Was = 216/ Vegas Line =219 - 3 off
Mem/CHA = 200.5/ Vegas Line = 195.5 - 5 off
GSW/IND = 220/ Vegas Line = 219 - 1 off
HOU/DET = 204 /Vegas Line = 206 - 2 off
ORL/MIL = 199.5/ Vegas Line = 202 - 2.5 off
BOS/MINN = 207.5/ Vegas Line = 207.5 - 0 off
DAL/SAS = 195/ Vegas Line = 182.5 - 12.5 off
TOR/LAC = 208/ Vegas Line = 208 - 0 off
Now, obviously that Dal/Sas line is WAY off. This is where you come in. Look at the numbers above. Do you know of a player that's hurt? A team that's been on the road and maybe tired? Anything at all that you think gives us a reason to play an Over/Under one way or the other tonight...
Thanks All,

Like it...
I also do 2 more lines with that
2nd I do the same thing for last 5 games only,
3rd I do the last five games, only baskets for each team playing, then add them together...
For example:
The O/U for PHX / ORL tonight was 208
Yearly PHX = 222
Yearly ORL = 192
TOTAL = 207 ...... only 1 pt spread right,
But last five games:
PHX = 224.2
ORL = 185.6
TOTAL = 204.9, 3 pts spread
Now only baskets scored by the teams playing (last five games):
PHX = 109.2
ORL = 92.2
TOTAL = 201.4 ...... 6.5 pts from the O/U
After checking the injured list, Chandler and Warren out, who combine for 25 pts, 16 Reb Per game this year...
I was actually able to get an U 209.5 @ 1.95
8 pts off with slightly better payout
If you have the time, these extra steps can make it happen...
Sometimes it's just injuries though......... LAC / DAL was already a 4.5 - 5.5 differential, but seeing old Dirk was back tonight gave me that edge to up my Over from 192 up to 198.5 for a 2.60 multiple.
They cleared it easily with 228 total.
