Game 2s open at almost exactly the same lines as Game 1s?

Any thoughts? Does vegas think its gonna go back and forth between most of the teams?

First time gambling?

on NBA, yes. Is that normal with game 2 lines?

its normal bud

i noticed this the last couple years

thats why NBA in my opinion is so damn hard to figure out.

Its the same exact 2 teams playing against each in the playoffs and litterally nothing changes... In baseball atleast you have to factor in different pitchers and possibly a line-up change.

in basketball motivation seems to be the difference maker

ofcourse i know that home court sometimes changes but you will have 2 consecutive games in the arena with the same exact lines , same exact rosters but yet a lot of times you see a completely different result from game to game. Its alot of guesswork and a lot of weird shit you gotta factor into NBA games like motivation, who the refs want to win, who the commisoner wants to win, who vegas wants to win , what the script says etc... very hairy stuff

just pound game 3 home teams down 2-0 ats

anyone have stats on this? seems to be a solid trend since i've been following nba closer the last 10 years, but i have no data to back that up.

NBA is THE spot betting sport I would say. Its not great to watch in comparison to other sports, but it's profitable if you know where to play your money. A lot of guys on here and across the street know when and where.

Wouldnt even know where to look for that, but it does sound like it would work, depending on the team. West coast playoff teams ya, dont trust the east coast playoff teams with a penny though.

only different result, Raptors. Maybe Dallas. Otherwise home teams will be dominant.

Not so sure Spurs won`t play better, agree about Rapts, but don`t like giving 5.
Bulls bringing guns to a knife fight with the Bucks.
