It'll be interesting to see the line movement with this one. My guess is the public will be all over Denver, so you might get it at a better number. The longer it stays at +6 with the public's backing, the better it obviously is. I agree that it's already an odd starting point -- should be at least 7.5 or even 8 IMHO given Denver's 3-point win at Portland earlier this season, but I suppose POR's recent 5-1 stretch softened it a little.

The Nuggets are 17-1 in their last 18 games when they score over 100 points, so we'll see if the Blazers' D can do enough to keep them under that total.

I have a feeling it will be higher scoring but that's just an early thought. Also, I get the feeling that this will be one of those lines that just sits at 6 despite heavy action on Denver.

You are 100% correct.. This line will hold 6 all day tommorow and hit 5.5 right before tip at a few shops tommorow.

I like the Portland play, but am gonna wait and see how the line moves and do you guys think camby will play tomorrow? Also what do you guys think about okc-3.5

If it does stay at 6, I might consider a play. Portland's been pushing the tempo more lately, which should favor the over, but IMHO, that would play right into the Nuggs' hands and they instead need to focus on a strong defensive effort to keep it close.

In other words, if you think the Blazers are the play, the under should probably go hand-in-hand. I can't see Portland losing 108-104 or something like that. If they cover, it'll probably be right around a 200-point game.

Again, just my take.

Portland will win the game. Denver is tired out. They need a break.

Carmelo especially... he's been playing great but has had dehydration issues for the past week. At some point he's going to have to hit the wall.

knightof7 · 03-07-10, 02:31 AM

I'm on it. Prolly add a couple units of ML as well

The Architect · 03-07-10, 02:37 AM

portland is playing great basketball of late. i think they get out and run with denver, game in the low 200's, portland maybe even toughing out a win. love the play.

Law-Byrnes · 03-07-10, 02:45 AM

Yeah I'm liking Portland as well as OKC.

ikerfi · 03-07-10, 02:57 AM

Good luck Lb.....!!!!.. Thanks for miami....

Lakers714 · 03-07-10, 03:15 AM

I'm liking the lakers +2.5 thoughts on this guys? I just think Kobe comes out with a vengeance after losing 2 straight on the road.

piaw · 03-07-10, 03:31 AM

LOL, I played Mavs/Bulls over 199.5 by accident and I was pissed all day. Well, it turned out great

thanks for Miami

PAYTON20 · 03-07-10, 03:33 AM

**** that the Lakers are playing so lousy lately. Orlando can easily outshoot them from downtown and is one of the only teams who can counter the Lakers height. Road game too and they can't even beat Miami or Charlotte? I'd rather take OKC -3.5

Lol I'm drunk I had a good day today. You caught it before I edited but I still don't think it's the greatest idea...

Lakers714 · 03-07-10, 03:45 AM

Lakers may not win SU but they def cover the overnight +2.5 we will see a very motivated lakers team playing against the magic today. I think the lakers clamp down on defense and force the magic into shooting outside jumpers.

Pensinger1 · 03-07-10, 03:50 AM

LB. Keep up the solid work my brotha.

First of all how can you say they may not win but will DEFINITELY cover 2 pts?

Secondly, isn't outside shooting a strength of the Magic? With Nelson, Lewis, Barnes, Reddick and even Pietrus sometimes - their 3-pt arsenal is deep. It only takes one to or two to be hot. I don't disagree Kobe will come out motivated as well as the team, and I could see them winning. I'm just chiming in with my 2 cents

agree completely, this means it's a stay away game for me. The outcome is so dependant upon numerous variables there's no need to make a play.

if I had too, it would be Under, I have no clue what the total is, but it will be under.

they were in a good spot SAS on a b2b, i didn't know that memphis will have a hard time beating an old spurs team w/ their home court advantage and opponents tired

Good morning everyone,

Mt no worries bro It was a wild night.

LB, I'm going to watch that Portland line just to do it. I like the call Denver is tired I just hate seeing a sea lvl team play at altitude against Denver or Utah. Three days rest looks good though, and I think it's due time for Portland to give us our money back!!

GL today everyone.

lakers going down today again.

Bosh is out.

Public moving to Philly!

Looks like a good call on TO.

Took LA, but line moving, thinking about Orlando 1H.

Also too Portland, and hockey of course.

BOL

southpaw74 · 03-07-10, 11:10 AM

WTF... Raptors just jumped from -7 to -5?!? Is bosh out?I took them at -7 thinking it would go up

Not sure. Last I saw Bosh was listed as probable, but the line change would suggest he's out.

Anyway with or without Bosh I like Tor today. I'm waiting to the last min to pull the trigger on this one.
