    Tuesday April 8 NBA Play: Wizards +10.5

    Good value with a team that has been playing decent ball. Knicks are the hottest team in the nba so this could be playing with fire but the Wizards have been competitive for a couple months now.

    Knicks in for a letdown here coming off the big win in OKC.

    Take the Wiz +10.5

    Also like the Pacers -12.5. Coming off two bad losses and trying to compete for the #2 seed in the East.

    no way should you be laying double digits with Indiana especially considering how bad they have looked the past couple of games.

    Wiz are super-terrific. I don't know, why the spread so big??? Wash must be resting its star players for the off-season.

    It is thinking like this that loses people money....

    Think like a contrarian, think about their emotion and think about motivation.

    I like both of these plays....although I like the Wizrads more than the Pacers wager....I will post my final thoughts by mid-day tomorrow.

    I like Pacers too Wiz. Not really sure on Wizards. I prefer to take them at home than on the road.

    Jazz look tempting but OKC could easily win that game.

    i would be hesitant with the wizards play. knicks with a win tonight clinch the division. its already a foregone conclusion that they win it except i think doing it at home in front of the fans will be a motivating factor

    Got the best numbers on both Wizards and Pacers. We'll see if that works to my advantage. I actually like Pacers better between the two.

    First off you need to wait on OKC, the line is down to -3, but still this is a stretch. OKC doesn't need home court adv, Utah will be playing to prove something as this is a possible first round matchup, Utah actually matches up well with them and OKC is very inconsistent on the road. If I was on OKC I would ML them, I think you will need the points in this match.

    The Knicks will probably win this game, but coming off of a hugely emotional game they will have a let down....I imagine the Knicks will get down in the second Q, maybe even by double digits....they will swing it and probably win this game, but I bet they don't cover 11 points 3 out of 10 times here.

    Houston is always a wild card and they can either demolish lower end competition or get overconfident and start thinking about their next important game....again, HOU wins this game, but no way they cover 14 points more than 50% of the time.

    Minnesota MAY be an ok pick.....but I have still graded them as a NO PLAY as I think this line is SHARP.

    Chandler out.. Nene, okafor on the block will cause problems.. I've hit on 3 games in a row with the knicks covering parlaying the over/under... Wizards should control the block, and the knicks have nobody to stop a hot wall in the backcourt

    Nice job Pacers. They sure brought their A-game tonight. Went up 20-8, only to be trailing at half.

    I feel like I cheated on my wife betting against the knicks... I've won so much off the last 4 I just keep feeling like I'm due for a let down.. Took the points on wizards and under for little money luckily

    I don't get why they're playing their starters if they're gonna tank the game.

    Give the guys a rest. I don't think they're too concerned about catching Knicks.

    Knicks probably have the game won but covering DD's is a whole other story and still alot of game left. Just don't get this team and not completely sold on them. Lets see how they do in the playoffs in a series vs better competition every night. Scoring 60 every fukking 1h is just unreal and they cannot keep up this pace for ever!

    Tough stretch for me lately. Wizards line moved way too much probably should have bought out of that bet. I do not regret taking Pacers I think books expected them to win huge and it just didn't happen.

    Agreed. Books expected Pacers to smack Cavs, they just didn't do it. Yeah NBA's been pretty rough for me too. I'm taking a break til NBA playoffs start. Too hard to predict which teams still care at this point.

    Nba playoffs have always been good to me. The way I've been going that might not be the case this year but I still am looking forward to it.
