NBA
Milwaukee @ New Orleans
Bucks -4 (-110 Pinnacle) 2x
RealDeal collaboration play. YTD 1-0.
*-4 won't last. If you like the play then take it now. I expect -5 by game time tomorrow. (Buy the hook or PYOL if you have to for no worse than -115)
** Mbah a Moute is finally back. Massive in for the Bucks. Premier defensive player in this league.
*** Edit - too many games on my mind. Henderson big in for the Bobcats, wrong game haha.
Portland @ Charlotte
Bobcats -1 (-103 Pinnacle) 1.5x
I posted a comment in RealDeal's thread mentioning how well the Blazers match up with the Bobcats and I do believe that, I am especially worried about how the Bobcats will stop Aldridge? Regardless after much deliberation I have decided that Charlotte is actually the play here. First with all the Portland love the line has basically become a pk em, also with the imminent return of Henderson for the kitty's I expect he will provide a nice little emotional boost for the team as they now have one of their "go to" guys back, on the other hand Portland may be emotionally drained after the double OT and last second Batum heroics that cost us out cover in CelevelNd the other night. Bobcats well rested and Portland playing their 6th straight road game as well, where as usual the starters log crazy minutes.
*Adding another half unit for a total of 1.5x
Cleveland @ Detroit
Pistons -4 (-117 Pinnacle) 1.5x
*The line has come down to -4.5 which makes me quite like this play but we are going to buy the hook/PYOL down to -4 in deference to Cleveland's great ATS record on the road this year and their continued hussle even when way behind in games. Waiters injured and whether he plays or not will not be 100% as the injury is to his ankle (reduced speed off the mark). Detroit continue to be under-valued by bookmakers at home.
