    Brooklyn Only -2.5 against Orlando?

    what am I missing here? Orlando very overrated as their mediocre at best while Nets coming off an embarrassing loss to the Heat. If Nets play any defense at all here against an Orlando side that will be a lottery team come the end of the season they should win comfortably. Considering a 2 unit play on this before the line moves to 3.

    took the play for 2 units @-2.5 as 5Dimes has already moved the line to -3 and Bovada probably will as well pretty soon

    The Nets are laying points on the road???? What has this team done to inspire any confidence as a road favorite? Get blown out by Miami? Give up a huge home lead to a hobbled Timberwolves squad? I agree with you that the Nets are going to have a better year than the Magic, but is this really the best situation to take Brooklyn?

    The Magic ran out of gas in their last game (tail end of 3 in 4 nights), but they have been very competitive (and even sometimes dominant), especially at home.

    actually read the line movement wrong. Line opened up @-3 and Bovada has moved it to -2.5 while 5dimes still has it at -3

    Nets losing to the Heat badly and to the Timberwolves has made this line low.
    Magic winning it's first 2 games against decent foes has made this line low.
    Good spot for Nets to redeem themselves from that embarrassing show against the Heat.

    If you want to talk about a road team guys, what about Milwaukee against the Washington. Mil coming off a tough loss against memphis, and Washington just plain sucks ass. Mil has won 7 of 9 in the matchup, I'm sure Ellis and Jennings will have a better day shooting.

    Mil at -3.

    I like Orlando but I'll probably avoid this one unless the line moves to 3.5 or so which I doubt happens

    Magic are always good at home, especially if the 3s are falling. Will look into this further

    Brooklyn is one of the most overrated teams in the east. They can't or don't want to play defense. A loss here wouldn't be all that surprising. Wallace is still out, looks like.

    I like Over 196.5 Points
    I am seeing a 199 to 204 type of game, orlando like to run that pop & shoot their way to victory, the nets will certainly try to catchup and keep it close; plenty of good shooters here b/w these 2 teams will chalk up some
    3's & FG %.

    You say Orlando is overrated, yet the Nets are road favorites without actually doing anything to deserve that line. Talk about irony.

    I like Brooklyn tonight! i think humphries and lopez will dominate inside. Orlando started off good, but there talent is somewhat lacking. After being embaressed by Miami, i look for Bkn to win by 5-10 points

    Brooklyn is pretty square, but it should hit. Going to roll with Brooklyn -2.5.
