with devin harris possibly having the flu and the celts winning 71% of games on the road and nets winning 42% at home i think celts are the play here.

the biggest difference is when you compare the celts D vs the nets D, and that justifies the 7pt spread right there. i have this one capped at a 12 pt celtics win.

solobass,

where did you get the information about harris having symptoms of a flu?

I locked in the Celtics last night at -6. Boston is 7-0 SU in its last seven against Jersey and is 5-0 SU and ATS vs the Nets.

I looked this game over from every angle and with New Jersey coming off a game last night and with the Celtics 9-2 vs. the number on two days rest. All signs point to Boston.

i may take the nets because the line is only seven or eight and everyone is riding the Celtics

SBR forum's record in responding to questions like these....

I have posted questions like these about 15 times. Where I have made a pick using my math model but after looking at it a second time I feel unsure.

Guess what the forum's record is in providing insight into these questions.

Did you guess 0-15?

Every time, if I did not make a play I liked based on forum input, the play won. If I did make a play that I previously did not like based on forum input, the play lost.

I think you honky mo fos tell me the opposite of what you really think just to **** with me.

I took the Nets + the points. And because I had Boston 1Q and Boston 1H I took Nets 2H using the logic "duh, if Boston win first half, and I think nets will win game, then nets must win 2nd half, duh".
