Those totals really worked out well for us yesterday, CK Mafia. Now today I see a few juicy numbers for us to follow and track throughout the day with respect to side plays.
Golden State-1
With the public all over the Blazers to the tune of 67% so far, the Warriors line has stayed stiff. And that is for good reason. the Blazers lose to the Warriors with startling regularity in Oakland, mostly due to their style of play. Golden tate is 5-1 ats at home against the Blazers, winning by a mind-boggling average of 14 points. I consider the line a gift, as the Warriors don't play into the skill set of the Blazers, as thy prefer to attack from the outside instead of the inside, with Biedrins collecting the errant shots and sticking them back quickly before the defense has a chance to react. Greg Oden is a lot slower than i thought he would be in the pros and that will not be good playing against the Warriors who love to get up and down the floor especially at the Oracle.
Washington-2.5
Expect for the public to be all over the heat in this game, and the early numbers are showing that already as Miami is 67% on the minds of bettors for a potential payday. The Heat play vloumes better at home than on the road. The Wizards are doing their usual slow start of the season thing. Ordinarily I would take the Heat in this matchup blindly as they are 8-1-1 ats and 7-3 straight up in games in D.C. However, in this game there is a revenge factor invlolved as the Heat trounced the Wizards by 20 points in their last game, 97-77. SInce that time the Wizards have had 3 days to lick their wounds and review game film and concentrate solely on the Heat. Meanwhile the Heat played a Toronto squad that is rounding back into form losing 107-96 on Sunday. I expect for the number on this game to go down to Washington-1.5 by gametime with the public playing the Heat at this rate. If the line stays at 2.5 all the way up until gametime, i will buy the hook off as is my usual practice and play it at -2.
Chicago+13.5
The Lakers while they are the best team in the NBA right now, are 1-5 ats in games at home favored over the Bulls by lines of 11.5 or more. I simply think that the linemaker is taking advantage of the public's perception of the Lakers. This is a line reminiscent of the lines that the Patriots were getting last year after they covered their first 8 games in a row. All of the sudde the lines got more ridiculous by the week. I will gladly take the 13.5 buy a hook to make my own personal line +14 and let's see if the Lakers can beat them by 20 points tonight.
So those are my three plays for the evening.
Chicago+14
Golden State-1
Washington-2
