1-1-1 (Really shouldn't have bothered! :SIB )
Dallas v. Sactown under 189.5
League: 3-12 under (2-13 this no...av. total 184.1...av. score 172.1) home 10+ fav off a 10+ ats loss as away 5+ fav, if opp last shot <40% [Dal]
The Kings are also in a 0-5 under spot, based on the 'under' in the last game where the team av's 78.6 ppg.
They've scored just 90 and 80 points in 2 games and really don't look to have many scoring options besides Kevin Martin.
Dallas were a solid home under team last year due to their surprisingly slow tempo...again this year they (so far!) have attempted the least FG's per game @ just 74.5...as such they haven't opped 96 in eithe rof their games either.
Chicago -2.5
League: 3-13 (0-16 this no!...av. loss 13.4!) any home dog, no rest off a 4- SU loss as a 4- dog. [Mil]
The Bulls are 0-2, but a late meltdown today, and an OT loss @ NJ...plus statistically they are playing ok! Allowing just 41% shooting, which is where they win this game.
The Bucks scored just 83 @ Orlando, and 99 today v. a poor defensive Bobcats...pretty tough seing them top 90 here.
I'm looking for Chicago to bounce back from a horrible 38% shooting night against a Bucks team allowing over 46%.
Chicago won all 4 meetings last year by over 11 ppg, and I think they are still the better team.
Portland +12
League: 11-24-1 (Av. win 10.3) home 10+ fav, off a 10+ ats win as away 4- dog. [Houst]
4-15-1 (Av. win 8.9) if total is 190+
0-6 (Av. wion 4.5) if total is 200+
Portland let me down today, allowing NO to shoot over 56%! But I'm not sure Houston will have the same success.
I know they will be more offensive under their new coach, but they did av. just 96 ppg last year.
Portland will score. They've hit 93 and 97, and shot a bit over 49%, so if they can keep the Rockets to 'normal' shooting numbers they should be able to keep this one close at least.
Washington -2
League: 23-11-1 (Av. win 5.4) home 4- fav off a 10+ ats loss as away 5+ dog, if opp is off a 15+ ats loss. [Wash]
13-2-1 (14-1-1 this no...av. win 9.3) if total is 190+.
Sure Washington off a couple of losses, but OT in Indi and just about everyone will lose in Boston this year!
First home game will be a big boost for them...esp. against a Magic team who look like they might struggle defensively this season.
Orlando have only shot 42 and 40% in their first 2 games...will need a far better output tonight to keep up with the Wiz.
Good Luck all
