Road favorites of less than 3 always seem kind of like a trap, a square play if you will, and they appear to be the case again tonight.
MIN@BOS b2b road game, 3rd road game in 4 nights for TWolves. They are a bad team on the road and a terrible team on b2bs.
SAS@LAC No one will argue that the Clips are a good team. But the line is set such that SAS is an elite team. Are we sure about that? They may be consistent, but they haven't really beaten anyone. Their best wins have been against Phoenix, Minny, and GSW w/out Curry. They've lost to all the good teams they've played, including Houston, OKC, Portland, Indy. LAC, however, has beaten OKC, GSW, and Houston at home.
PHI@BKN The Nets shouldn't be favored by double digits over anyone. But most importantly, the Nets are not a very good team at easy buckets/easy shots, and won't be able to take advantage of Philly's porous defense
DET@IND Detroit's strength is in its size, but Indiana has enough bigs to handle that. The Pistons are on a b2b after a tough OT loss, which is probably more likely to tire out said bigs. Without easy points in the paint, Indy should shut them down easily.
GL All!

The thing with Spurs is that they don't grind much in regular season, they take easy games against mediocre and teams below .500 and don't care much about those "thriller" games against top teams, they will beat them in playoffs, for now they just don't really need to break themselves and risk any injuries. That is why this is a toss up. If by some chance San Antonio shoots lights out, everything goes with the flow, they will take it easily, if not, then they will probably give up by half-time and just play it to the end. They won't fight with their teeth to go away with a win here, that is for sure.
