do you like the -8 better.

The answer is no with Artest and Battier, he'll turn in to an assist machine if Rockets start to double him.

Definitely not east money. But I mean it always has a shot. He had two 30+ games vs. HOU this year. Key is as mentioned, the FT line. In the two games he only scored 20 & 23 vs. Rockets, he had 4 FTs attempted combined I think.

Kobe missed practice with a sore throat (possible swine flu??????) yesterday.

Which means he'll probably pour in 50.

I would definitely lay off this bet due to several reasons. The new Kobe is now a facilitator and does not focus on scoring points like the old Kobe. He is also not 100% because of his weekend sickness which is another good reason to lay off. The Rockets are a great defensive team and typically do not allow alot of points, especially 25+ by one player. Not 100% but I think the 37 points is when Artest pissed him off and motivated him to score more.

Here is what Kobe has done to the Rockets this year:

11/9 23 pts
1/13 33 pts
3/11 37 pts
4/03 20 pts

The assist and rebounds over 10.5 is what you should be focusing on.
