I usually wait til HT....

I usually wait til HT....

as you all know, but obviously I watch a lot of NBA games. Here is my list of "looks" and why:

MIAMI OVER 194

HEAT suffered their first loss last night at home vs the SUNS. They had controlled most of the game and then the SUN took over and ran them out. Well, the WIZ KIDS are a similar bunch now that AGENT ZERO is back and playing well. DeShaun, Mike Miller, Caron Butler, and others can all shoot the 3. With them at home, I like the WIZ to jump all over the HEAT early on and get them running. May lead to an Under play at the half, depending on the score.

IND/NY Under 113 FH & 223.5

Murphy is NOT expected to play tonight. Add to that Granger still gimpy, I don't like the PACERS chances of running with NY. There only chance is to keep it slowed down, which will get a boost with NATE THE SKATE out. I figure this game goes to the half around 105 or so, so a FH Under play is in order and Under for the game for sure.

BOS UNDER whatever...

Nobody is DEEing it like these guys. As mentioned, until they give you a reason to do otherwise, count on them to keep it low scoring, and its not like MINN is an offensive juggernaut!

LAKERS OVER 102 FH

This game could get real chippy... Artest returns, Ariza shows off his "RING", who knows. Rematch of last year's playoffs and I think they go at it early on and then LAKERS DEE it up 2H and win this one.

Dallas +2.5 FH

Also love this play with the way last night's game ended. DAL suddenly finding their groove after the home opening loss to WASH. Now they've beaten three good teams in a row (YES, I consider the CLIPPERS a good team WHEN they get Griffin back), 2 in LA then one at home. DAL should carry the mojo over to BOURBON STREET tonight!

Good luck! :SIB

Still too early in the season, and getting here after some line moves, here are my leans:

WAS
NYK
LAL/HOU under

On the LAL/HOU game, Lakers in what has been a really bad spot for teams, but not touching it as it's right on the number that the spot calls for, hope that the linesmakers haven't caught on.

Good Luck,
Bart

Joe I like this play tonight on the Dallas Under. Here is what I like:

11/03/09 UTA W 96-85
10/31/09 @LAC W 93-84
10/30/09 @LAL W 94-80
10/27/09 WAS L 91-102

These are some low scores this year in the Dallas games against teams alot better then N.O.. I'll be riding this one to the window with you. :00hour

With all that said, I know the public is probably jumping on the Mavs tonight. I think tonight is a decent spot to buy low (Hornets) and sell hight (Mavs). Just my 2 cents.

Agree 100%, I think all the value in this play is with NOH -4. Dallas + pts seems way too easy. Could just be the contrarion in me, but to me you either like NOH or pass on this game.

I don't believe in setups, but in prior seasons, think that we would have been getting 4-6 points here, and I'd like Houston more, but am staying away from the game.

I took it off my original play list b/c I was getting mixed signals, I like the game to stay low scoring.

Joe - are you keeping an eye on the Denver game? If the Nets keep it close or are winning at half - that may set up a nice play on Denver 2H....

I'm watching, but I'm more interested in the totals. I actually think if Nets keep it close, books might entice ppl to slam Den and rape the public.

I'm hoping for a 54+ pt quarter here.
