Charlotte +5 -105
Charlotte should hang around this game. They have been playing well and are at home which they've played well at all season. Ginobli and Leonard both still out and a gimpy Parker being cleared for the game so I do not see the Spurs having the offensive fire power to outscore this defensive minded team. Game should be close the entire game. I believe Charlotte is really undervalued here.

Phoenix ML -165 (Risking 1.65U to win 1U)
Phoenix strikes me as the younger, hungrier team. Key injuries to GSW with Bogut and Lee not suiting up for tonights game really helps the Suns. Phoenix is only a half a game back in the standings and I believe they come out gunning and the better team wins this one. The Warriors have also not fared well in Phoenix in the past. With the Suns young and athletic big men not having to deal with Bogut and Lee, they should all have solid games and be able to dominate the paint and the game.

That's great man! Kinda sad because that's the first day the 1Q system went under .500 but things happen. I hate betting on Miami. You only really know that they'll come to play if it's the playoffs.
Still a winning day so I guess I'll take it. Don't be afraid to share thoughts on plays! I enjoy hearing different angles to betting and it helps me to understand different elements in capping games.

Thanks! Yeah, I noticed that about the o/u .500 on 1Q. It does happen. I totally agree on Miami; any time they play a bad team, especially on the road, it just lands as "that's just the kind of game Miami won't show up for". (Of course, I second-guessed myself out of putting a couple units on Utah to win outright; I think their ML was something like +400. D'oh!)

I'm happy to share how I came up with a pick, I just didn't want to invade your thread. There was another one I was following at one point where I apparently overshared and got someone yelling at me...

For 1Q plays, I look at a few things: for both spread and scoring - season average, last 3 games, last 1 game, and home/away. I compare the season average to the current line, as well as the last 3 games. I don't think going back more than 3 games is very valuable - other than the streakiest of players or teams, a 3-game cycle seems to fit most game variables. I look at last 1 game and home/away to make sure I'm not overlooking anything. Other than a team missing several starters, I tend to ignore "player X is out", since most teams should be capable of picking up the slack.

I do look at 1Q, 1H, 2H, etc if that's the play I'm considering. TeamRankings.com has a lot of available scoring stats and fits what I was doing manually before I found the site.
