NBA TUES 02162010 - Early Thoughts and Value Hunting

[barts185]

Hope that everyone had a good break.

Starting back up with PHO +1.5 over MEM. Simply, I think the wrong team is favored here.

DAL, if the new players are playing. Should know later today.

The Kings potential POD:00hour

The Kings win outright in my book so 6 1/2 points is a gift.

More later when we get the other lines until then:0corn

What's goin on Forty. I'm a Kings fan...ROY candidate Tyreke showed well during the Rookie-Sophmore Game. I was actually thinking of taking the Kings +6.5 as well...what makes you think that they will win outright? Do you know anything about how the Celts will do?

Here's a quick look at some of the GOOD, BAD, and UGLY team trends on every team and how they have fared SU (Straight Up) and ATS (Against The Spread) this season in games played through the All-Star break.

What's goin on Forty. I'm a Kings fan...ROY candidate Tyreke showed well during the Rookie-Sophmore Game. I was actually thinking of taking the Kings +6.5 as well...what makes you think that they will win outright? Do you know anything about how the Celts will do?

Dallas Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5, 195)

Maverick makeover

Despite leading the Southwest Division, and being just one of only seven teams to own a winning record in head-to-head games against other winning teams this season, the Mavericks pulled the trigger on a huge seven-player swap during the break.

Dallas dealt forwards Josh Howard and Drew Gooden to Washington for forward Caron Butler, center Brendan Haywood and guard DeShawn Stevenson. The Mavericks also sent Quinton Ross and James Singleton to the Wizards to conclude the trade.

The trade improves the Mavs on paper but it?s unclear how quickly the new arrivals will gel.

?It?s going to be tough to get everyone together that quick,? Dirk Nowitzki told the Dallas Morning News. ??Hopefully we?re going to put some basics in Monday, just a couple of plays, tell them our defensive philosophy and go out and play.?

After dropping five of their seven games before the All-Star break, Mavs All-Star guard Jason Kidd said, "We haven't been playing well, that's for sure. Sometimes people might think that moving someone or making a trade can help. We have a big week coming out of the All-Star break ... 30 games left, it's a sprint now, not a marathon. I think we're going to be ready for that."

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban chimed in, "[The trade] makes us significantly better. Different teams go through different situations. The Mavs went through it in the '90s, the Wizards are going through some issues right now. Sometimes giving guys a fresh home I think re-energizes them, and will work the other way, too."

Thunderous ovation

After winning 23 games all of last season, Oklahoma City resides in third place in the Northwest Division at the break with a 30-21 record. The Thunder take a six-game win streak into tonight?s contest, the franchise's first six-game winning streak since the team moved from Seattle.

All-Star forward Kevin Durant is second in the league in scoring at 29.7 ppg, just behind LeBron James (29.9 ppg) and ahead of Carmelo Anthony (29.2 ppg).

KD has scored 25 or more points in 25 straight games and the Thunder are 17-8 against the spread over that streak.

By the numbers

Here is how each team ranks in four major team categories among other teams in the league, according to ******* statistical rankings:

Offensive Scoring:
Dallas (12) 101.3
Oklahoma City (19) 98.5

Defensive Scoring:
Dallas (15) 99.6
Oklahoma City (5) 95.4

Rebound Margin:
Dallas (23) ?0.69
Oklahoma City (4) +2.41

Against The Spread:
Dallas (28) 21-31
Oklahoma City (1) 32-19

Coaches? corner

No coach on a win streak welcomes the rust that comes after the All-Star break and OKC bench boss Scott Brooks is no different.

"This is a lot of time off. The concern is guys taking six days off and laying on the couch," Brooks said.

Meanwhile, Dallas head coach Rick Carlisle realizes the importance of getting off on a good foot following the break and the aforementioned trade.

Chemistry and a new attitude are major concerns. "It's an important start," Carlisle said. "It's been a tough 10-day stretch? We need to get healthy coming out of the break.?

The Mavs were routed, 127-91, at Denver in their final game before the break last Tuesday and sport a 10-11 record since December 31.

Bet you didn?t you know

The Mavericks are 1-4 SU and 0-5 ATS when playing with six or more days of rest. Dallas is also 16-3 SU and 14-5 ATS in games off a loss of more than 20 points, including 10-1 SU and ATS versus an opponent off a win.

Oklahoma City is 6-1 ATS the last seven games in this series and 32-15-1 ATS versus Southwest Division opponents since moving to Oklahoma City. The Thunder are 2-2 SU and ATS when playing with six or more days of rest.

Looks like we have a nice discussion with some great info going already. Thanks:00hour

My 2 cents:director:

As for the Mavs and Thunder, everyone knows my affection for the Thunder, and I stated I thought they are getting better every game, and would be a hot 2nd half team. I think the Mavs may take a little time to gel with all the new pieces, so I lean OKC there. Shocker I know.
Another thing to look for---
With all the teams coming off of a long break, I lean towards all the unders. Fresh legs usually equals better effort on defense, and maybe a little rusty with thier shot and timing on offense.

Some other leans.
Nets +11 :scared
Griz -1
Kings +6


Let's find us some winners :toast:

Three plays for tonight

Three plays for tonight

As stated last night The Kings +6 and a small play ML

The Heat +2, D Wade made his statement that he is playing.

The Stones -5, 5 is alot of points to give the Twolves but at home and rested will help the Stones and the rest and road will hurt the Wolves. I expect the Wolves to come out slow and sluggish.

I lean Under in Portland, but if this trade occurs NO PLAY

The thing that scares me about the heat +2 is the amount of public on the heat with no line movement.
503 MIAMI HEAT spread 84% ML 99%
504 PHIL 76ERS spread 16% ML 1% :scared

No play on Kings

No play on Kings

Just some info for those considering backing the Kings tonight, I see it's a popular play here.

Kings are 2-10-1 last 13 at home, and 2-9-1 last 12 as home dog ATS
Boston has handled Sacramento the last two seasons, going 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS, with every victory coming by at least 12 points. The Celtics hare 4-2 ATS the previous six as road 'chalk. :scared

I think under 199.5 here has some value. :0corn
Under is 5-1 in Celtics last 6 games as a road favorite of 5.0-10.5.
Under is 7-1 in Kings last 8 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record
Under is 4-1 in Kings last 5 games playing on 3 or more days rest.
Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings

Good luck tonight GS .
One question on your Suns under play. The last 4 between these 2 teams have flown over the total, including 3 this year, with totals of 220, 228, and 225 last game. I know Memphis has had trouble scoring of late, and I see the Books may have adjusted to that with a number 5 points lower than the last game. Could you explain why you took the under? Thanks in advance and good luck as always :mj06:

I have this game capped at 213. I'm hoping for a slow paced game and some bad shooting on behalf of both teams come post allstar break. Also 70% of the public is on the over
