    Atlanta +3 Win
    Pacers -8.5 Win
    Raptors -2 Win
    Detroit -2.5 Win
    Celtics -11 Win
    Hornets pk Win
    Cavs -8.5 Win
    Timberwolves +3 Win
    Kings +6 Looks like a win??



    I wonder how much that would have been if I played all on a $110 parlay??

    Home field advantage has been huge in the NBA this season more than any I could remember in quite a while. Some of it is the excitement of the crowd and some has to be due to the almost double standard in calls.

    I've gotten my ass raped going with road dogs in the last 2 months so you would think I would know better.

    This was a good day to fade the public. Public was all over Lakers, Nets, Bulls, Spurs and Suns.

    Almost every one of those games looked great the other way. Fricken traps all over the board. The books cleaned house today

    They should have cleaned house... The public had been tearing it up all week, I figured it was time for the books. I a usually on the books side so when the public wins I lose. And they have been winning all week, just sucks I have to wait until Sunday to make all the money back that I lost from the public winning all week.

    Couldn't tell you exactly where to find it, but I remember reading something a few weeks ago about home team performance on Sundays in NHL/NBA. Friday/Saturday are usually busy days for both sports, while Monday is often a slow day for both. The Sunday games are often early games as well, so you end up with teams playing a big game Friday or Saturday, then travelling for an early Sunday game, and then likely a flight out of town later that day.

    In that scenario, I can see the road team's game not being at it's best.
