Why is Houston -1.5?
Marc Gasol is the engine on the Memphis Grizzlies.
The grizzlies are completely lost without Gasol on the floor on both ends of the court.
This line is a joke. it opened at -2 at LVH and is now down to -1.5 with 95% of bets coming in on Houston.
WTF
Someone please explain to me what the fckkk vegas is doing with this?
Should be interesting..
no harden and no gasol...
interesting indeed...
No Gasol, no defence. Houston takes the easy win here. Easier to compensate points for the absence of Harden than create a team defense without one of the leagues top defender.
Easy play, Houston -1.5
Why is harden out again? Is he injured or something?
mem had beaten very teams on west-coast's trip before lost at home to spur. No Gasol, no defence you said ? Zebo will step up, also under rated Koufos will fill the hold fine. dont forget Allen/Prince defensive combo, these guys are but they are still effective.
this is a toss up game, so the line is about right
gasol surely out
harden may play
but even if harden don't play as long as gasol is out
for me 9 out 10 houston will win this in -1.5 spread
what does -1.5 mean usually dont handicap just ml
Ah ha! thank youOriginally Posted by vyomguy
Harden is dealing with foot pain. I'm on HOU (-1.5) big. Also going to get on ML . Gasol or no Gasol the line is way low for HOU. Even without harden; Howard, Parsons, Casspi, P Beverly Jeremy Lin, Terrance Jones, Omer Asik are more athletic by a great margin. MEM cant score with Houston. I expect a 10-15 pt win.
Tough here but I think Memphis at home will edge it out for me. ML of course. Harden is to me a bigger difference maker in a game like this. Memphis plays gritty defensive game and post up offense. If Houston's guard play is sub-par I see it difficult for them to get going. Harden is a slasher who opens the whole court up , and plays a big role in orchestrating the offense. Good Luck should be close either way
J Lin is a nice backup when harden is out. Surely not as good but a lot better than gasol backup
rockets have never won on the road without harden. They lost to 76ers without MCW this season on the road.
koufos is actually good replacement for gasol.
Memphis will have 2 of the best 3 players on the court in Conley and ZBo. Kind of like Memphis here.
curious when slow paced teams play fast paced teams does game pace usually go fast or slow
I think Memphis makes them play in the half court.
Not sure if youre trolling but here it goes. It means the team must win by at least 1.5 points.
Well that didnt go exactly as I expected .. well sort of did. HOU has athletes. This wasnt won with Howard/Harden. It was Parsons/Lin/Garcia/Casspi. You have to be able to score with them. Personally thought this was the easiest call of the night.
Mem is a piece of shit this year now without their best big man, Hous was the easy play! BTW who is Koufos? lol
