Dananderson- (Edited) the Raptors are on the front end of a b2b on the road, & off a 4th quarter collapse. I don't think they will win, but 9 pts is too many after further review. Dallas could be caught in a look ahead, as they go on the road to face the Rockets on Wed. I'm going to see how the first half goes, & depending on whether or not there's value, I may jump in.
Warriors- horrible spot scheduling wise for the Knicks. They played a 4 game west coast swing that ended in a route late Saturday night @ Denver. Tuesday game @ home, followed by a road game wednesday @ Detroit. That's a pretty tough spot to play someone, let alone a team like the warriors who will run you ragged. NY hasn't been playing good defense, & GS has never claimed to. I expect another fast paced game where all we need is 43% shooting from both to get over the number. NY hasn't scored that many pts consistently this season, mostly due to poor shooting, but they haven't played @ home vs. a running team that often. Last time they faced a high octane team @ home it was the Nuggets, & the two totaled 231 pts. 2 of the Warriors 3 road games have totaled 230 or more, so the number really isn't high enough to scare me off. Honestly, if the Warriors were bigger faves, I would be more worried about the total, but it looks like they expect the Knicks to put up a fight. In the end IMO the Warriors win 119-110 or so.
Denver- Laying pts with a team that plays no defense is generally not a good idea, but never say never. The Bulls are in complete disarray, & stuck on the road so the fading continues. Denver is good enough to run them right off the court, IMO a DD win. I wouldn't touch the over as I'm not sure the Bulls are capable of scoring over 90 pts.... may add the 1st quarter a la Memphis last night :sm:
Suns/Kings over- The Suns have totaled 214+ in the last 3 games vs. NY, Chi, & Houston. The Kings have scored 103+ in their last 3 games, but have given up 108 or more in 3 of their last 4 games. IMO both get over the century mark early, & Suns off a big win @ Houston. IMO this one could be close, so fouling at the end of the game would be a bonus....
I'm looking into the Hawks as well. For some reason they always play the best teams tough when they're at home. They've already beat Dallas & the Suns at home, so this would be the trifecta if they could pull out the home win vs. the Spurs. Last year they beat the Pistons at home, but lost by 7 to Dal & SA. SA could also be in look ahead mode, as they travel back home to meet Orlando wed. I would have already played it had it been at +7, but at 6 I may play it smaller....
