director: Anyone else likeing Raps-Heat over 204?
Raps give up an avg of 212 on the road, and Heat have given up 100+ in 6 straight. :scared Also the 7 spread is fishy as hell. Think Vegas is telling us something. Have a gut feeling, heat roll.

Updated leans
Heat -6.5 and over 204
Suns -2 (keep dropping please) and under 210.5
Houston -5
Charlotte-4.5
Cleveland under 194

NCAA GEM OF THE DAY: UNLV/S. Utah Over 137

The Runnin Rebs head to Southern Utah tonight fresh off their first loss of the season (80-95) at the hands of Kansas St. The Rebels currently ranked #23 will face a struggling Southern Utah squad losers of 5 straight by an average of 17.6 points.

Breaking down the numbers though, this Southern Utah squad has deceptively good scoring, especially in the Free Throw department where they shoot 75%. The Running Rebs are averaging nearly 80pts per game while S. Utah averages 67.5 giving us over 10pt differential from the line. Defensively these teams combine for 141 ppg a differential of 4, for a total combined differential of +7.25 over tonight's line.

3 Factors I believe will push this game even higher than the differential.

A) S. Utah's size down low with a 6'9 and 6'11 centers both of whom shoot (.814 and .708) from the FT line.

B) Running Rebs lack of defense, they've kept teams under 60 only 2x this year, keeping a team shooting 75% from the FT line under 60 will be difficult to do.

C) Rebs need to redeem themselves after the Kstate loss by blowing someone out and Southern Utah's lack of defense giving up (84,68,93,89,72) in their recent 5 losses.

Score Projection: UNLV 85 S. Utah 68

Slicer - I always hate overs in the big point spread games (19 pts). Did you cap the Port St/St Mary game? Liking Port St with the 14 here??

Hamilton ( Detroit ) was listed as probable this morning ... now its known that he will start but will see limited action because he is stiff ans sore. His last game was his first game in six weeks and he played 30+ minutes and should not have ... he is the Pistons spark plug ... I see this game staying under the total but will wait till early evening to lock in.

I'm not locked in on anything yet for tonight ...

I hear ya Ools, just my opinion :shrug:

I look at every game, every day trying to isolate the 1 play. Games I was leaning on:

Rider + pts vs Rutgers
Port St + pts vs St Mary's
Rider/Rutgers Under the total
Duke/Gardner Webb Under the total
FSU/Ga State Over the total
S. Utah + pts

But ultimately I went with UNLV/S. Utah over, Rebs are committing average of 18+ fouls per game, that puts S. Utah on the line quite a bit where conversion is their key number. UNLV defense is something to be desired and it appears their philosophy is to play like UNLV of old, run and gun it. S. Utah doesnt have a big homecourt advantage but it's only the 2nd time a ranked school has visited, so thinking inspired effort from S. Utah tonight shooting wise, the numbers support increased scoring at home vs. away and I truly believe this game ends up in the upper 140's-mid 150's.

BOL whatever you do bro, hope you are a winner.

SIDE NOTE: Anybody think Sac +7 is value tonight considering Port coming off 4 game road trip?

Agree Batts

I initially liked Toronto but cant see ANY reason this line isn't Miami -2 or -3.

They are begging you to take Toronto.

It seems my initial info on the Public all over the Heat was wrong.
