Moneygrip friday

[moneygrip]

POR/OKC under199 - Neither has gone over 100 in any of their recent h2h matchups. Expect that trend to continue tonight as this line has absolutely no business being this high. POR plays some of the slowest pace ball in the league; this should become a grinder.

OKC +6 - Trailblazers have come a looong way as a team this year and may be soon considered among the Western conference elite. The fact remains though, they are a much better team at home; and the hometeam DOMINATES this matchup between two young squads. I expect the surging OKC Thunder to win outright, and I will def. be taking the points here.

first meeing of durant and oden. 2nd and 1st pick last year

Good point NBA Hero. You got any leans in this matchup? i notice you r racking up points in the 32 man tourney.

edited my original post to reflect line changes... public anticipates the Traiblazers to blow them out, but I am loving any extra points i can get here. OKC is gonna be pumped up for this game! Sneakily they have been VERRRRY tough at home losing tight games or winning outright. I think it won't be long before this is a place opponents do not want to travel to play.

adding:
BOS 1Q -2

DISCLAIMER:
I am a BIG Knicks fan, and I will never pick against them for the game. They are a team on the rise with a solid base of young, talented, motivated players. That being said, they start slow. And I can rationalize picking against them 1st quarter. Boston is pissed about last nights loss. Also pissed about last nights flight after the loss. Also pissed about losing to these Knicks a few weeks ago. Expect them to come out of the gate very strong. Boston 1Q.

Knicks win game.

I'm with you on the Portland game...I got it early at Por -4.5 and under 201.

add:

MEM -4.5 - I advise fading the clips until they make you stop. Memphis is sneaky good at home and the Clips want the season over NOW. For me, this line is waaay too low.

love your picks. alot of people going with Portland tonite but portland is do do on the road. they play no defense as well.I'm thinking thunder and buy 2 points here. Thunder +8

[moneygrip]

add:

Magic -6.5 (granger?)
suns -10 (redemption game)
nuggets -6.5 (wizards are not in their league)

alot of the good cappers are on these leans. solid recs

Solid Solid plays here Money; I am on the Thunder as well. They are
12-1 ATS in their last 13 home games. Public is all over Portland and that makes me like the home dog even more. Like the under as well, may add a small parlay now that I see your on it.

[moneygrip]

OKC $ line offers great odds too

also add:

ATL/CHA under180 - Both teams missing leading scorers tonight. In general the Bobby's play a low scoring style of game and when they've played the hawks this year totals have stayed low. (Dec 15 @ ATL 79-83), (Nov 21 @ ATL 83-88).

i agree with your memphis call, its my secret play

joe Johnson is out tonight

[moneygrip]

would like under even if JJ played. but with him out this play looks even better.

Zac Randolph is a businessman. he means business. i watched him as a knick, and i liked his hustle and his shooting touch. now i'm watching him piss all over the grizzlies, mind you, on the first night i've EVER picked the grizzlies. fading the clips stops NOW. damnit Z-BO!!!
