Jay Edgar NBA, Monday 01.15.07

I'm just wondering how the early starts on Monday might effect some of these teams Jay.

I don't have data on past MLK results at hand, BBD, but I think it is well worth keeping in mind. Instinct would tell me that the teams with the worst coaches and the highest mail-in ratios will be worth steering clear from, especially if they are on the road.

If you look for the last couple years playing under on MLK day is a good bet. NBA players are accustom to playing at night last year I believe the under hit at 70% on MLK day. I will play a lot of first half under

Looking at that myself BigD.

I'm currently looking at the totals on the west coast teams traveling to the east coast. In fact, I'm currently trying to crunch the numbers on this Knicks/Kings game.

Granted it's a night game and not one of these MLK matinees, but the line in Memphis seems to overrate the extent to which the Griz are now a run-n-gun outfit.

According to Gasol, his team "has no idea what they're doing out there."

I think something more like PHX 114, MEM 90 is likely.

Griz hung up a 66-spot in CHI on Saturday.
