Weds NBA 2nd half play
- Thread starter DZ
- Start date
Even though this is a regular sized bet for me, I really like this play for a few reasons....
1) both teams coming off a game on the road last night (NYK from ORL & NO from TOR) and should get tired of playing defense down the stretch
2) I expect NO to claw back and keep this one close, which makes me think there will be more freethrows/stoppages of play towards the end of the game.
3) With Billups out, Anothony Carter is logging more minutes and should be the veteran PG D'Antoni turns to to the ball more in the 2nd half. If you watched last nights game, you would have seen him pushing the ball down the court on every possession he was in the game. Even when D'Antoni had both him and Billups on the floor at the same time you could see them inbounding it to Carter and letting him push it up while Billups jogged up.
So basically, I like the pace of this game to pick up in the 2nd half with NO keeping this one interesting making for FTs and easy buckets down the stretch.
