Big game vs. Spurs

[Bluehorseshoe]

I just got reamed on this one.

[TwoWays]

that's a crushing blow. they are still without garcia too as backup. 9 man rockets rotation is the word from around tonights game.

[Seto]

So how much are we putting on the Rockets? lol.

[Swaggy P]

Spurs it is.

Time to unload

[TwoWays]

but then again, the rockets defense should improve. and again, the spurs are missing leonard and green too.

[easyliving]

line just moved to Spurs -1.5 and continuing to move. No action for me here.

[Mase of Base]

Thanks LT, my book hasn't adjusted yet so Spurs it is.

Agree with Setos sentiments though it feels like a Houston win now probably big!

[alamo]

Why are the book favouring the Spurs now ??? Surely they have to make the Rockets favourite with their best player out

[Ghenghis Kahn]

i like my houston wager more now. wish i would've waited and got better number though.

[KiDBaZkiT]

Ol blackbeard huh? Now the other players get a legit chance to score.

what book are you at?

[sharper2]

Hard to replace Harden's value, big loss for the rockets. I'll take the spurs.

[RonPaul2008]

Line was moving a bit in that direction long before the announcement. I wonder if there was some inkling that he was questionable even though there was no available information that I saw saying harden had any injury. Otherwise, I would expect the line to move more then from houston -1 to spurs -1.5/-2.

[Mase of Base]

I use the local New Zealand TAB. They probably won't change it till just before tip!

Odds aren't great here but it's so easy so it's all I use.

u should be rich if thats the case! GL

[Mase of Base]

I don't really bet the NBA just spot plays here and there. It's these ones that usually lose though!

[Trep]

Ouch bet rockets hard. oh well still not that heavy of a line

[Seto]

Plus which that clown who claims he was posting fade plays til today has guaranteed the Spurs.

I had no opinion on this game but gotta like the Rockets now. lol.

[Ted Sheckler]

Sucks he's out, but still like the Rockets, just got a poor number now.

[vasilli07]

He is key to beating Spurs.

Maybe Aaron Brooks will score 50 now.

[jjgold]

Lin just as good with a lot of minutes

[TwoWays]

Lin just as good with a lot of minutes

lin is a d-leaguer that's getting paid like a starter.

[kevin101]

Why is everyone still liking their Houston play?

No Jams Harden... that is HUGE!!!!!



Spurs -4

Rockets lost a player, so Spurs became the favourite.

[Swaggy P]

People still underestimating spurs even with harden out?

[The Kraken]

I saw the opposite. Had Houston ML -125 and last I saw it was over -130

[747planes]

Rockets and over. easy money.

[Noleafclover]

Don't typically like props, but i do like howard to have a good game with the spurs bigs and harden injured. Took o29.5 pts/rbs -140 @ bol.

[Rustyglobes]

Who will be the main benefactor for Harden sitting out tonight, will it be Howard, Lin or Parsons?

Who will the coach rely on to take on the responsibility of taking more shots.

Personally I think it would be Parsons as the Spurs don't have a match up for him with Leonard amd Greene being out

[ROFLcopter]

From rotoworld at 6:24pm:

Updating previous reports, Rockets coach Kevin McHale suggested that James Harden (thumb) might be able to play on Tuesday.
When asked whether Harden was sitting out, as was previously reported, McHale replied, "We'll see." He gave the same response when asked whether Jeremy Lin would start at SG in Harden's absence, and it's possible he's just being coy with reporters, but there's at least a chance that Harden will be active. Stay tuned

Any word on if he's in or out?

[jjgold]

We have seen this before

Houston wins by 15 and nobody blinks an eye

Harden just a ball hog, has not changed Houston at all

He is out, starting backcourt is Lin and Beverley

[mattj1x]

Lin scored 38 points against the Spurs last season when Harden was injured. Rockets lost in overtime at San Antonio.

Pretty sure the game was in Houston. Houston was a 5 or 6 point dog and lost by 8 in OT.
