2nd half play

Nuggets are shooting an unrealistic 65% from the field and Houston is only down by 3. Sorry, but I'm going the other way and taking Houston -2 for the second half. They play better without McGrady anyways.

i took that into account and with the o/u at 93 in the 2nd half after hitting 133 in the 1st i expect both these teams to slow down ridiculously......Houston also shooting +50% and taking tougher shots

only reason Houston down three is because of turnovers by Denver i think denver comes out and controls the ball a lot better

I have Denver in the game so I am going to leave it alone but if I had to play I would be on the Nuggets in a close one...

Charlotte +1 looks pretty tempting with the numbers I see but again have them in the game and no need to double up on them.

UNDER 96.5
Hawks/ Raptors

The Raps have eight guys suited up for this one and both teams doing decent from the floor and shooting plenty of FT's but only scored over 90 in the first half.

close one damn denver had a lot of chances with that nasty foul call and then the missed ft
at least they covered the game for you sneaks this moves my record to 1-1 =/

Thanks Swagger tough way to end it with FT's...I am adding another second half play hope you don't mind if I use your thread

Wolves -.5

The Clip joint are severely undermanned as predicted Smith is like a bull in the china shop down low and it seems to be they run away with this one.

Steve Novak is their leading scorer and when that happens, you know the game is OVER!

Hornets -4

In essence this is doubling up on the Hornets which can be a mistake but I like how they are responding with star players out with foul trouble. The Pacers have been getting easy buckets in the paint by the guards if this stops the cover.
