Great Spot for the Wizards to get their 1st W. Raptors coming off a Back to Back game and looked sloppy last night against the Wolves. Gave up a double digit lead and was able to squeeze out the win. It was a 10 point game, but it was due to the amount of free throws and the little run at the last 2 minutes. This is also a sandwich game on the road of a b2b2b, and they will be back at home tomorrow. Thats alot of flying in such a short period of time. Wizards did shot awful against the T-Wolves( and didnt T-Wolves werent missing a 3, killing any run Wizards made). Great spot for a rebound.
I might make this my "step out" game. I try to limit myself 2-3 step out games, pending how i am doing overall, per month. Only thing really holding me back is the fact its a Wizards team that hasnt shown any heart as of late. I really feel they get this one, play for some pride in front of the home crowd. Players are talking about the embarrassment they went through when they got booed.
Im looking for Batche and Wall to step up today and put up points for the Wizards. I like Mcgee in the middle against the softer Raptor Big men to protect the paint keeping it a jump shooting type game for the Raptors. Looking for the Raptors to have a bad shooting night. Matchups are in favor of the Wizards(if they want to show up ), a much quick and athletic team, could lead to a track meet against the Raptors.
Strong Leans
Dallas @ Piston(+6.5)
Trap game for Dallas, they will be traveling to play Boston on ESPN. Could be looking ahead, if it goes up to 7, it will be a play. Will look into the game a bit more.
Clippers(+5.5) @ Portland
Great spot for a public fade. I know its tough to place to play, but everyone knows this so they are jumping on the Blazers. Revenge is also another factor. Might stay away from the game.
Thanks Guy, Lets all cash our bets and beat the books.
Okay so this NO bet will be a step out game for me, the more i look into it, the more im liking the play. With that game being a stepout game, i might lay off other games. Will be my 2nd step out game. The Magic +3 could be a late action game like the GS game was.
