    Basketball Parlay of the Day - Friday, 2/09/07

    Post your 2 best basketball plays each day, NBA and CBB full-game Sides & Totals allowed only, no halves. Same game Side/Total parlays are ok.

    All parlays will be graded as 10.00 to win 26.00, and I will do the standings for the month of February at least.

    The Catch: You must have SOME ANALYSIS for each play. Only needs to be one sentence, no big deal, although full paragraphs are ok too. Plays submitted with no analysis will NOT COUNT toward standings.

    Cornell -5.5

    Cornell is 4-1 straight up and ATS in it's last five games. Brown has not been playing well of late. I think Cornell rolls at home.

    Harvard +10

    Princeton has lost 5 straight on the road, the closest loss being by 8. I think they'll get back on track tonight at home, but not by 10.

    Clippers PK: They are due for a win, especially a road win.

    Bulls +2.5: I expect them to come out a play a very very solid game today after their pathetic display last night. Skiles was probably all over them, expect them to have a very good offensive night, and an average defensive night, and get the win

    gonna add another one, cause i feel good about tonights games (when dont I) plus i dont like seeing a negative next to my name in the results...

    Lakers +4: I dont understand them getting four points at toronto. The raptors have gotten better, but shouldnt be favored by 4 against one of the better west teams

    Niagara -5.5: Have played a good second half of the season, and st peters is just flat bad

    u214@MEM These Memphis unders still seem like a great bargain. They are a terrible team. Wolves busted out against a listless GS team last time, but Minny was reacting to the road shellacking at Houston where they barely broke 70. Why is Minny supposed to get 108 tonight on the road? Plus most recent results would make the Griz a slight dog to break 100.


    o202 @ PHX Maybe I'm missing something, but this is a WTF line as far as I'm concerned. PHX with the extra rest can get 125 of it easily, I would think. Doesn't matter who's in the lineup for them, they should push the pace without resistance from the Hawks -- who could very well hang around, as the Suns have hit a blah stretch.

    Dbldown11,

    Just choose your two best plays, as you are only allowed one parlay per day. If you do not respond, I will go with your most recent post (Lakers/Niagra).

    Thanks

    DENVER NUGGETS +7: The Nuggets have dominated this head-to-head series recently going a perfect 5-0 SU and ATS in the last five meetings with two of those games coming here in Indiana, and we look for Denver to at least hang close again tonight. Yes the Nuggets are without Iverson here, but that is neutralized somewhat by the fact that Jermaine O’Neal is hobbled for Indiana. Denver has a winning 11-8-1 ATS record on the road this year while the Pacers have now lost two straight games, both at home.

    CANISIUS +6.5: For whatever reason, Loyola Maryland has been a much better ATS team on the road this year (8-1-1) than it has at home (2-6), and we look for that to continue tonight in this decided favorite role. Canisius is 5-2 SU in the last seven games including 3-1 SU in the last four road games, and the Golden Griffins upset Loyola outright 74-72 the last time these clubs met.

    Cavs -2.5. Look for a well rested cleveland squad, only playing their second game in five days, to avenge the 92-89 loss they suffered at Miami just last week. Heat have won 5 in a row, however aside from cleveland they have beaten the Bucks twice, Bobcats, and Celtics. They take a step up in class tonight and the winning streak comes to an end.

    Grizzlies +2. Look for the Grizz to come ready here as they have been facing the leagues elite of late, losing four straight. The T'wolves may also come a tad flat as they are off that romp of Golden State.

    ATL +11 Phoenix is in the doldrums right now and with Nash out this will not help. Atlanta should be able to hang around and keep in somewhat respectable

    PHX/ATL o201 The public is overvaluing Nash and Phoenix should be able to score without him. Atlanta will hang around and that will help the total along.

    LT, these are my 2 best bets of the day but I'm not sure if you allow parlays on the same game because most books do not I believe. If not, replace the PHX/ATL total with this one.

    MIN/MEM u213 This total is just a bit too high for my liking. Its as simple as that.

    Hulu,

    As per the rules above, "Same game Side/Total parlays are ok", so you are fine.

    Toronto Raptors -4: The Lakers are playing the 7th game of an 8 game trip and lost badly to Detroit last night. Look for them to loose again tonight to a Toronto team that has won and covered 4 straight and is playing really well right now.

    Philadelphia 76ers +1:
    The 76ers and coming off two straight home wins and will look to beat the Clippers in their second matchup this year after losing at LA early this year. The Clippers are playing the 5th game of their road trip and have lost 3 in a row. Look for that streak to continue.

    No harm, no foul.
