Haven't capped the game yet myself, but losing Martin is a blow to a team that struggles on offense as is. Do you think Mo Williams will pick up a majority of the scoring burden?

Suns are only 1-2 on the road and if they want to make the playoffs they have to beat the cellar dwellers of the east when they can. Smart is out for at least a few weeks. Gerald Green and Isaiah Thomas are quite the weapons of the bench. TJ Warren is on the team tonight. He could be another potent scorer off the bench.

BOL tonight. That Suns vs Bos game is going to be such a toss up. It will be a fun game to watch. I expect a shootout. I personally lean to Bos, but will not be placing a wager on that one.

Did you watch the Houston vs OKC game last night. This is an even tougher back to back after that brawl last night. I saw the line last night at 3, it is a stay away for me. I like the Grizzlies side, but I have it personally at -2.

It sucks, but they are offering refunds to anyone who doesn't win in their contests. I like DraftKings scoring and lineup formats in comparison with fanduel.

Stoudemire has got some extra rest and their at home on a Sunday. Just felling about a 7 point win in this position. I hope you are right. Glad to hear that Fisher said that. I enjoy watching the Knicks and I will be a happy fan if they can turn things around.

This team is not going to be defense oriented this year, so the more people that can shoot the ball, regardless of their lack of defensive prowess, the better. |

So hard to stomach being on the Knicks side again...especially without Shumpert playing. I have missed on them twice so far on their home stand. Today they wrap up their home stand with a chance to go 0-4 both straight up and ATS.

0-3 thus far with losses to Atlanta, Orlando and Utah. The Knicks have some glaring holes in their rotations (point guard and center...bigs in general). With Shumpert injured I think they are going to struggle more than they have already. He seemed to be a pretty important glue guy.

No they were not, that was a hypothetical, but it does happen. Tonight you could have got Memphis at -7 at best. However, if you took Memphis -7 in-game, and had Detroit +10 before the game, you still have the potential to win both. You would also be guaranteed to hit one of them. In the case you hit one of them, you just lose the juice from the one bet (if you bet them at equal amounts).

Detroit +10(-110) before the game tonight, and Memphis in-game at a +150 Moneyline. There is no way that I can lose both of those bets. If I manage my Memphis ML bet amount properly, I guarantee myself a small profit. If Memphis comes back and wins by 4, I win both my initial wager and my in-game wager. In order for Memphis to have become an underdog in the game tonight, they probably would have had to have been down by 10 or so near halftime.

The potential to hit both with the only a small amount at risk is the idea behind middling.
I got kind of wordy with it. There are many places you can read up on it.

You can guarantee yourself a profit if you can catch the original favorite with a moneyline bet on them as an underdog in game. Then if they win, but don't cover the pre-game number, and you had a wager on the underdog pre-game, you win both bets. However, you were guaranteed to win one of the two. Winning one of the two sometimes represents a small loss, sometimes it represents a small profit.

I would only miss out on the starting line....but eventually the team you assume will win falls below that line...eventually...you just have to time it at the right time during the game. It sounds like it's all about timing...and if you time it right, you don't have to pay for points....they're free...if you time it right.....Right? Correct. And if you hit it at the right time, you can hedge against a bet you made before tip, guarantee yourself a relatively small profit, and give yourself the potential for a big payday with no risk of losing. Instances of hitting those are rare and time consuming to find.

If you could live bet it at -1 at that same time, it would cost you some serious juice. One way that I approach live betting us to bet a team that was the favorite before tip and has become the underdog in game. I do this if I have the underdog plus the points from pregame in order to gain a middling opportunity.
