    OKC -7 Thoughts

    Picked up OKC -7 -103 over Toronto tomorrow. Lines already up to -7 1/2. Trying to figure out the angle here on the low spread. Toronto coming off a home loss the other night by Sac will also come playing hard against the top team in the NBA as well as having lost to them in November. Only reasons I can see here for Toronto. The rest goes to OKC on every front plus trying to keep the #1 seed which they would lose tomorrow if they lost in Toronto.

    Being #1 in a tight standing should be enough imo to make them come out and play hard. Add to that they know they need to rack up the wins vs ez opponents. If they are up by 3-5 pts in the last minute the foul shots should be enough to push them over 7 and I think they have the D to hold Toronto for stops on the other end. Thoughts?

    But i wudnt bet on that as a solo bet its just to bump up my NFL pick. i think OKC shud win by 7+ 2.5 is just a safer player because of my wager amount on it . and it starts at the same time as the baltimore game main reason why i bet it goodluck tho hope we both hit

    I like Toronto here. They just played a bad game getting beat by Sac and I think they bounce back here. Not saying they win, but should be close.

    Building should be rocking tomorrow. It's a Sunday afternoon game with the reigning western conference champs coming to town. The Raptors may suck, but they got some loyal fans up there in Canada. I'm not one to bet based on trends, but Toronto is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games, and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games. I feel comfortable taking the Raptors as a 7 point dog. OKC also plays the Wizards tomorrow, so they can't bust their entire load in this game. Toronto doesn't play again until Wednesday.

    Valid points. Should be an interesting matchup.

    Raptors have been playing some good ball as of late, they're passing the ball better than I've ever seen even when Calderon is on the bench, Lowry who's played 3 games since his injury has looked good. With that said I still like OKC -7 here, they're still one of the best defensive teams in the league and the offense has been really clicking, they'll be ready to go with a days off rest

    Heritage is still at -7 1/2 but I'm seeing it at -8 now on other books. Apparently everyone must be jumping on OKC. Could be around -9 tomorrow before tipoff at this rate.

    ya but say u end up changing your mind and take raptors +8 to hedge out, you're paying small juice to freeroll a win if it lands on 7 or 8 which is decently likely

    True. Would have to be some crazy event to make me switch over to the dark side though

    nah they are easy when you tease and thats the only way to do them. find game you really like than use that in both, say you really like the Ravens tomorrow, then you can do

    Ravens pick
    OKC -2

    and

    Ravens pick
    Raptors +12

    Its a good way to limit risk and yet play both sides. I've had great success doing this

    It won't get that high. Will probably close at 7 or 7.5.

    Pinny has kept the line at 6.5 while pretty much all the other books have been at 7 and 7.5.

    I actually really liked Toronto. just logged into my 5dimes account and am shocked to see that they have the line at 6.5, while scoresandodds still lists it at 7.5. WTF??

    Am with Craptors pk .
    They 've been off a day, they came from a defeat , the game is a matinee one ( guess Under ). Basically they play home. They will have Kleiza again. Okc is coming from a suffered home win with 76ers ( a medium range team to me) and getting to north.
    They will not able to oppose the Craptors quick ball movement. Is that enough for cashing ? :-)

    @ Italy : Given the difference in values ​​between the two teams , I realized the OKC put in difficulty from 76ers be4 winning of 20 more points.
    About Kleiza , I know it's questionable. Considering 3 rest day , I bet Kleiza will play the game
