I like the Spurs tonight to cover against the Bulls as I do not see the situation Pop wouldn't want to stick it to Thibodou. The Spurs are better than the Bulls in all the departments and the double digit win is due here. The line opened at -7 Sours and is up a point. Straight bet I'd say - public and the line and the teams strength - all walking in stride.

SA Spurs -8

The Grizzlies are playing much better basketball than they did before the two stars have left them. They won 9 out of 10 losing only to Miami. The Blazers have covered the last 5. I would not risktaking a -7.5 line for the home team as the Grizzlies had many 6 point wins lately when expected at least in two of them to win big - but the totals line moving up convinced me they are covering here

MEM Grizzlies -7.5

Houston and Dallas line on totals came down despite the public being all over the Over.

Under 221  DAL Mavericks vs HOU Rockets

Lank66    20-15

Under 188 WAS Wizards - MIN Timberwolves

Under 221 HOU Rockets - DAL Mavericks

Reasoning

Washington plays great defense and Minnesota is struggling to put together a complete game of offense.  I expect one quarter to be below 40 which should keep the entire game under the total.

I think that Dallas will have to attempt to slow down Houston if they want to have a chance to win.  I have also noticed that when Dallas has a focused defensive game they slow down their own tempo and score less fast break points.  I have the total closer to 210.

Nice picks Mavin - I liked the same games, but couldn't pull the trigger knowing that Randolph is out with Memphis and Parker is out with San Antonio.  Good luck tonight!

Yes. We're having fun here but at the same time treat it with a military discipline. If you can handle it - youre welcome. But beforehand I;d suggest you read the thread or at the least its beginning (like first 100 pages)

I'll add another

LA Clippers -9 (Bought the half point to avoid a moose)

The Clippers are a dominant force at home the bucks are a decent team away. The difference will be the Clippers depth. The Clippers have one of the deeper teams in the NBA and I see their rotation running circles around the Bucks tonight.

Guys need to clarify these are not parlays, these are a special section called parlay and teaser cards- diff rules apply because the odds are fixed not based on true odds also most of the time they do not change with current lines sometimes I use this to my advantage ie that game in Miami when pops pulled the main players the line here was static and it allowed me to get a smaller line not the inflated line that was not met by the heat etc-

Also in NFL the vikings packers playoff game this was a -6 while the lines jumped to over 10 in some cases because the vikings QB was not going to start-

I particularly like the cards because they allow you to do a 10 team teaser at 1 for 24.

Trust if someone knows how parlays work I am probably on that list

Read my other post - cards are a diff section than reg parlays- I will get the language for you and paste it when am back in the comp- the tablet does not allow for proper formating

BM where the line originates. I can buy points and do open parlays and open teasers- and parlay and teaser cards love the teaser cards for NFL.

First it was 60-59 at the halftime in Dallas. Phixer made couple phone calls and they lowered it to 60-58. But Phixer was not satisfied. This time he picked up a phone to David Stern and they had to drop another two. Shame that the HT break is only few minutes otherwise he's make them to drop another 2 or 3 LOL
