Kevin Love is out Friday night

[Robert Ferringo]

Hasn't gone public yet, but he's not going to play. That is what my sources have told me. Would've tried to get this out sooner but had to make some of my own maneuvers first.

Best of luck.

Kirilenko is out too.

[El Nino]

Yet line has dropped from T-Wolves +1.5 to a pick. Trap?

[vasilli07]

Lol...what's the point of betting if there are so many traps? Stop betting to avoid all traps.

I wouldn't call this a "trap" however typically teams play well without their best players for 1st game this usually has to do with the backups getting a chance to show what they can do and the opponets believing they have a precieved advantage ( See the SA/MIA game last night for a good example). Minnesota has pretty much dominated this series 11-4 @ Minnesota since 1996 SU so that alone would be reason for a line close to a pick. The play here was/is Minnesota it's not like Milwaukee really has anyone to exploit Kevin Love not being in the lineup IMO.

But on the flip side their is no K-Love to beat up on Illyasova or Henson which would have been Minny's biggest advantage...

Like I said this play for me is based on the fact teams typically play well in 1st game without their superstars like I said you can look at the SA/MIA game last night SA with only 9 man roster with Duncan,Parker,Ginobili, Green all resting and Stephen Jackson, Kawhi Leonard both injured how did that turn out?

They opened -3. Value is on Minny, with everyone who was able to scoop +3 getting value on Milwaukee.

[vasilli07]

Kevin Love looks likely he will play. He has his ankles taped up.

The most important player OUT today is Brook Lopez. He is having a strong season, and his replacement Blatche is one of the worst players in the NBA.

Orlando is horrific, but if you have the bankroll they are not a bad pick.

WTF? He averages 9.1 points and 5.4 boards in less than 20 minutes per game, what do you want from him? Also he carried the Wizards last year when evryone was busted up.
