Ok, after last season, I swore I would never cap an NBA game again because it takes so much fuggin' work and that's not how to win in gambling anyways.

But I pick a team or two every so often and this week I've been studying MILWAUKEE BUCKS.

Bucks have made a lot of changes to their roster, they're very deep. They'll still be defense specialists, especially at home, but I think we'll see more OVERs hit with this team.

Last game v. hawks, Dunleavy (3) had 31 mins and Delfino (3) had 20mins. If you remember Dunleavy from the Pacers last year (the white dude) he's a good shooter, especially 3s and long range jumpshots. Stats are deceiving as he's been HORRIBLE shooting with the Bucks, but he seems to have figure it out during the Hawks game, as he shot 40% FG, 6-15 BUT 0-5 3PT. He still needs to work on his 3s but hopefully skiles knows Rockets defend well against 3s and will encourage him to get more FGs.

Another reason for the OVER is Livingston has been getting more mins than Jackson (whose been horrible). Livingston, who is really a PG, has great shooting, not that great D. I think Martin will make mincemeat out of him but Livingston will contribute pts on the other end.

I don't think duo of Bogut/Ilyanova can overpower duo of Dalembert/Scola. But Bogut will contribute pts on the other end.

I see this game being a shootout.

Too many variables to pick a side and depends on Skiles who he's going to play/bench. But OVER looks good from the stats.

Opinions?

Not sure about the total man, can see a 92-84 type game, but also a 100+ game for Houston here too.

Best stay away.
