Coming off a losing day, damn Seattle gave the game away... 1 play so far




Celtics+1.5

4 units




Played this when the line opened last night.... not sure if I'll keep all 4 units on it, as I figured the line would move. IMO this will be a closely played game, but Boston will win. I'm hoping the line continues to rise so I can try to middle some of it.... eyeing up the Blazers too.

Magic+1.5+100

Raptors/Bulls o190-105

2 units each



Orlando is playing good ball, & is back home after a 4-0 road trip. Their last loss was @ home to the Pistons, so I'm sure they'll be motivated to beat a big name team in front of their home crowd. The Suns are not playing like the Suns & definitely haven't been good on the road. They lost @ ATL, beat Char & Seattle (big deal), then nearly lost to the Heat. If not for Miami losing steam 4th quarter paired with Marion's 24 rebs, they would have lost by 10. I don't see Marion repeating that performance with Howard in the paint... IMO he'll disrupt Amare as well. I'll take the unpopular home dog that's playing better ball to begin with.

I think the Bulls are laying a bit too many pts in this one, as IMO this one could be tight. I think the Raptors should be able to put up 95+, but I'm more comfortable with the over. Toronto has scored 96 or more in 5 of 6. This will be the Bulls last game at home before a 6 game road trip. I would think they continue to open up a bit more offensively. Before a slow 4th quarter, Chi & Det combined for 153 pts in the Bulls last game. Hopefully the shots fall, because IMO this one creeps over 200. 5 of the last 6 meetings between these 2 have totalled over 193 pts

Nets+3-105

Blazers+8-104

Grizzlies/Utah o217-103


2 units each




Went ahead & attempted the hedge with the Nets. Was hoping to get +3+100, but no such luck....

Nuggets-4-115 2ndh

2 units



Denver will put up 54 2ndh, I don't think the Pacers are able of playing the full 4 quarters. I see a possible collapse here...

Gonna be tough to win with the Bulls shooting 27%



Also, I'm dumb for trying that middle. I got a really good line & should have left that alone, Boston is not to be faded just yet IMO.

Wince Carter ouch.
