Miritic will be the star tonight...

Seems a bit high I was expecting pk/-1.5 area for Bulls. With Beal back I think Wash gets back on track after a rough patch. They have obviously done well vs Bulls so it's Wiz or nothin for me here. Bol

That's what I thought McMurphy..but still wondering why wiz has +2.5...maybe I'll just tease Wiz +6.5 & Mem -4...thanks!..BOL guys!!

Now it's Wiz -1.5 ....hmmm...Might bet again & will take Wiz parlayed w/ Kings...

Bulls opened just -1 at pinny. Never pay attention to those early lines at BOL, they're often pretty badly off.

But regardless you seem to make those threads pretty often where you don't understand a line because of a past matchup... Past matchups are only a very small part of how lines are made, things like recent form and the books' general evaluation of a team (like if the Celtics beat the Hawks as an 8 point dog, it doesn't mean they'll be faves in the next matchup, they'll likely be 7-8 point dogs again) are much more important... As well as injuries obviously.

Not surprised at today's line. But I do think it's a stupid line. Bulls should win handily here if they decide to show up.

I only checked the lines at scores & odds...anyways, thanks again Seto!!!

R.P. McMurphy · 03-03-15, 12:25 PM

Only way Bulls win "handily" here is if Wash just flat out plays like shit. Bulls will struggle to score once again and revert back to more of a tough physical defensive mindset from here on I think which they got away from this year with Rose back.

Nice call Seto I had a GREAT night otherwise but this one got me.

Funny I'm normally a contrarion/spot player but this one got me. Not a thing about this gm in my book said the Bullshits would be win. Nice call!

Funny thing is Bulls were the contrary lol. Never trust this limp dikk phony wanna be contender as a home fave.....but coming off a loss and a short dog vs a suspect "good team". Yeah I overlooked it!
