    spread was -3. Lakers cover the 1st Q winning the quarter by 4.

    That makes it 4-2 for this trend in the past 2 nights.

    The 2 that didn't cover involved very poor and unreliable teams not covering the 1st - the Nets and Bobcats (nets came very close to covering)

    both. Depends on the game/teams, matchups and the spread.

    Someone asked what the spread was for the lakers game so I responded.

    Does not quite fit your model but pacers -1 looks nice against an old tired celtics team on a b2b.

    Jazz. Utah had 2 days off before this one. Fresh. Nets win last night and travel late. At home in Deron's return. This is a big story in Salt Lake City. I think they gonna be pumped early

    Jazz and Clips.

    Jazz won 1st Quarter 30-20, easily covering the 2 pts.

    Those teams with 2 days off vs b2b teams really do well here. Look at what Orlando with 2 days off did to the b2b Blazers the other night up by 20 after the 1st Q

    Clips, along with Jazz, easily covers their 1st quarters. Both would have been by double-digits if not for that ridiculous long shot by the lakers at the buzzer to trim the Clips lead to 7 to end the Q.

    These teams with 2 days rest playing b2b teams are GOLD. You could see, in both games, how the Clips and Jazz had a much higher sense of purpose in their play, much more energy, quicker to chase down loose balls, more spring in their step, they look far more determined, etc etc

    LOVE these plays.. especially in a condensed season.

    love the plays too. had a kind of hectic day as I was visiting a relative in the hospital all day, so I wasn't able to jump on Clips 1Q, but did take Clips -2.5 for the game. I was also able to jump on Jazz 1Q.

    Gonna try to play these bets as much as I can.

    The only team falling in this category tomorrow is Detroit who's hosting GS

    just 3 games on the NBA schedule 4 Sunday. However Monday is going to be fun with a ton of afternoon games on the holiday (8 afternoon games coupled with 3 night games for the day)

    I'll be on both Denver and Detroit 1Q.

    BTW, the Detroit/GS line is REAL fishy. Detroit is favored by 5.5???? This line should be closer to 3 than 6 IMO. Looks like the books are trying to get the world to jump on GS +5.5. For that reason, Detroit -5.5 will probably be my main play for the NBA tomorrow.

    Not sure if anyone plays NFL here, but I really like both the favorites tomorrow.

    Yeah I find that line a little weird...GS will be a popular play.

    I do like the Nuggets 1Q though. Jazz played today versus NJ and have to travel to Denver, which is a good home team.

    I really like Denver tomorrow for the game as well. They should be able to cover a 10 point spread against a pretty weak Utah team who is coming off a game yesterday. Only thing I'm worried about is a bit of a letdown game for the Nuggets after that huge win at home against Miami.

    Im making a play on Pistons as well, maybe Pistons 1H

    Pistons killed Bobcats, Bobcats kill GSW = Easy as that?

    ^ Pistons covered 1H so i hope you played that.

    For the day neither covered 1Q on the spread. If you took ML Denver covered.

    this logic will get you killed.

    never that easy. Detroit being a 5 point favorite was the real angle.....they're not worthy.

    I'm loving Wizards tomorrow v. Rockets.

    1P, 1H and small on full game.

    What do you think?

    Blazers are 1-4 SU on the road 1Q. They tend to start games slow and are primarily a 2nd half team. Their coach had to plead with his players to start fast against the Lakers and they did (however they were at home)

    Hornets on the other hand are something like 11-1 for 1Q this season. Should be interesting.

    I don't know why, but I kind of like NO to cover. I think there is a good chance Portland wins, but by a small margin. They aren't the same team w/o Camby. I know this sounds a bit corny, but MLK day may mean more in the city of New Orleans than any other NBA city. If anything Hornets 1H. Everytime I see the Hornets play, they play real well 1H, and then absolutely bomb it in the 2nd half. I think the absence of a steady scorer down the stretch is the reason why they struggle so much late in games. They really miss Eric Gordon late in games.
