    Game 5 Lines Out!

    Phoenix -5.5
    Over/Under 179

    I'm leaning towards a 2 team/5 pt teaser:

    Indiana +10.5 (would like 11, the line should move to 6)
    Under 184 (the defense will be like the 2H of last night's game)

    seriously that's an ugly line for sure. The over/under is not worth touching IMO. I'd just wait for indy to go to +6 and buy to +8 for extra juice. katie douglas was 2-14. Don't expect that to happen again. Phoenix wants this but I could see indy pulling it out. If you love phoenix, buy pho to -3.5 right now and don't look back. I would not risk tying it to an o/u at this point

    Phoenix won game1 after OT at home. Game2 was a loss by 9. And now the opening line in Phoenix is -5.5 (now its -5)... just to think about

    It's all about momentum. Phoenix showed last night that they're the better team when they clamp down on defense. When Indiana goes cold they aren't deep enough and don't have the guns to shoot their way back into a game. And Phoenix should get the benefit of the calls at home.

    I predicted Phoenix in 5 before the series started, and I'm sticking to it.

    I'm predicting Phoenix wins exactly by 5, so I won't play Phoenix at 5 cuz I might end up a PUSH. Phoenix ML should be the correct play.

    Boys, Phoenix has been pushed .5 to 5.

    Do you think this trend will continue?

    I like the 1st half over but I hate to take Phoenix -2.5. I have a feeling this game could tie at the half, or with Phoenix leading by 1-2 points, or with Indiana leading by 1-2 points. Both teams will open up their mind all the way in this game, winner becomes champion.

    As i said when the Finals began, i think the better team will the champion and this team is PHX IMO.
    i guess the 5 points is not touchable for serious betting.
    4 games now and i didn't notice any protection to PHX team, so stop talking about call-benefit. The officials are fair enough i think.
    Last game was just the worst for Indiana, that won't happen again, but i still Mercury has the potential and the momentum like Roag Bettor said, to achieve theit target.
    ML is to low to grab it so i might wait till last minute.
    I cannot see a real value bet anyway..

    If they blow away the over in the 1H, I'm playing the under 2H

    I think I will play the under in this one, I would be hesitant to do this in any phoenix game before the finals seires but now I don't think it is as bigger risk.

    The only play I'll consider for this game is the 2H. The line and the total are set just perfectly for the books, any bet is just an educated (or uneducated) guess. So I'm going to see how the 1H plays out because anything can happen in the final game of a series (especially the Finals).
