Chris Paul - G - Clippers

Chris Paul (ribs) was "very limited" in shootaround and is still questionable to play against the Pacers on Wednesday.

It sounds like he's on the bad side of a questionable tag here. There hasn't been much optimism since Paul suffered his inflamed rib cartilage injury on Monday. If he doesn't go, it'll be Jamal Crawford and Austin Rivers stepping up. Crawford will likely be coming off the bench because J.J. Redick is healthy this time around -- Redick wasn't healthy the last game CP3 missed.

"Cliff" Paul...

Beat me to it.

Today: 0-2, -3.85x
Total: 33-52-1, -24.69x

Rockets and Knicks have been burning me when I was betting on them (albeit Knicks won me a lot earlier in the year), today I fade both and both cover. Funny stuff. Them two and the Grizzlies are responsible for like 90% of this bad run.

[DOM-Ganador]

I realise the Rockettes have a few good thieves, looking for steals and jumping lanes....

BUT, at least 3 times in the forth, the Pels inbounded the ball directly to Houston, leading towards points.
I say at least because I was not watching the game, only checking in.

I have been avoiding Rockets and Grizzlies. They r so unpredictable.

Like New Orleans today but this could end up like that Cavs/Hornets game the other day with the Pelicans choking away a lead late. Maybe I should take them +5, try to get the Cavs live +money and hope for a middle.

Pelicans+5.5 -110 (skybet) (risking 2.2x to win 2x)

Almost called out the flow of that game perfectly. Thankfuly didn't take Cleveland live.

Jazz+2.5 -120 (skybet) (risking 2.4x to win 2x)

[killersweet]

What do you think of Toronto catching 7.5 points at home? I expected GST -5. 7.5 seems a bit high.

Same here. Wasn't Toronto like +9 or something in GS a couple weeks ago, figured Toronto would be +5 or +6.

[NBA Maniac]

I forgot today 2 games were earlier, how many threads are out there saying, warriors are going down today ???


I'm looking forwars to see what will be the line againt Indiana.
I'm going to bet spread and ML.
But the way Indiana is playing, and all the noise they are doing, maybe the line is short...

Most stressful and most satisfying victory of the year. I had the ML

Hope you guys took the spread. I have avoided Golden State most of the year, trying to get myself away from the temptation of figuring out when they'll lose.

Probably Warriors-3.5 or something.

Yeah crazy finish after blowing a 17-point 3rd quarter lead. Basically the last 2 games I've bet have followed the same flow, thankfully both winners in the end.

Don't like the card much today. Not sure Washington should be getting points at home but they're a hard team to trust.

[goldust]

I'm taking GS 1H -6. Worth a small bet.

Pelicans ml +100 (skybet) (risking 3x to win 3x)

Seto what is the current winning streak Warriors are after ??
Because i am seriously thinking to do some plays on Indiana.

Knicks have fallen off lately. They'll probably get better soon but Dallas have been the better team of late.

2 lines made zero sense to me, Pelicans and Bucks being home dogs. Of course the one I decide to take is a total no-show and the one I don't take pulls off a miraculous win

It hasn't really been particularly bad since those couple of awful days that ruined the whole great start to the season but it's been stagnant which doesn't help me much. I need a big winning run soon.

[Seto]

As for the Warriors... They are currently on 26 straight dating back to last year.

So if they win tonight, they tie Miami's streak from 3 seasons ago. If they win the next game, they beat that.

Then after that I'm pretty sure if they keep winning, the Cleveland game on xmas day is either the day they can tie the Lakers' 33-game streak or the day they can beat it.

They have won 27 straight dating to last spring, which tied the 2012-13 Heat for the second-longest streak in NBA history. The 1971-72 Lakers hold the record with 33 wins in a row. Golden State also has won 13 straight road games, which broke a tie with the 1969-70 Knicks for the league's best road start.

They are going to break all of them lol...
Maybe they lose when coach arrives in the 1st game lol
And probably this teams lose in 1st round (ahahahah) if plays against a nice team and talented team.

Let's not forget Curry's ankle....

They won't lose in the 1st round... Come on. Especially as the 7th/8th seed in the West will not be a very good team.

The only 2 teams that can realistically beat them are OKC and the Spurs. I think a GS/OKC matchup would be intriguing.

Curry has been healthy for 2 years. Of course anything can happen but I don't think it's something you can predict.

Nice hit, buddy. A no-doubter.

Thanks man. I'm gonna pay close attention to Charlotte and their lines these coming games. Might be a team to ride until the books catch up.

Unfortunately I also played the Bulls and Knicks for 2 units each, didn't post them cause I was at the soccer game. So I'm gonna end up winning almost nothing on the night. So unbelievably frustrating.

How can you be down 38-11 against a team playing without their defensive anchor and that just played a tough game on the road the previous night? And why is Nikola Mirotic an NBA player? I can't be the only guy who notices game in, game out Taj Gibson is 1000x better than him.

[Seto]

I like the Bulls big against the Clippers tomorrow

Can someone physically restrain me from betting on that game?

Bulls as home dog has to be money

[t-wizzle]

Easy win on Hornets. Nice hit bro.

[Seto]

Theoretically this has to be the game where they show up after 3 embarrassing losses, in particular the last 2. I'd feel very good about it if they were playing, well, pretty much anyone else than the Clippers. Wish they were playing Miami or Cleveland or someone like that.

[t-wizzle]

Clippers will handle them tomorrow.

[Seto]

Clippers will handle them tomorrow.

I wouldn't be surprised. Clippers might go on a run now.

Probably gonna just look ahead to Friday.

[killersweet]

Nice hit on the hornets. They have been solid. I have been avoiding Houston, Knicks, Grizz and life has been less frustrating :-)
