    Pacers are fukkin' +2 in Portland on Thursday

    Blazers had an embarrassing meltdown vs. Dallas Tuesday at home and are 7-12.

    Indy just routed the Clips in the 2H and is now 12-5.

    Yet the line is +2.

    Hammer time on Portland?

    Knowing the NBA Blazers will win by 25 while pacers run around giving no effort who the hell knows with this league.

    With a minimal effort on defense, Indy should win comfortably. All they need to do is shut down Lillard.

    I see Indiana as -2 everywhere. Where do you see +2?

    I'd never bet on a back to back road team after a DD win the night before

    Blazers + ML has all the value tonight.

    Also looking into Spurs/Grizz over 185. First game played at 174, this will go over

    thats what everyone's first reaction is. But how many times does this happen and the dog comes out winning in this case Blazers. It's a tricky game . Cause lillard can get hot and knock down 3-4 3s in a row late.

    the one thing I am going to keep an eye for is mcallum w.e his name is . He was 3-20 or so vs Dallas. Maybe his early hot start was just a fluke and the amount of minutes are catching up to him.

    In this case I'd bet the better team regardless of the back to back... indy is a much better team. If you pick portland You're essentially betting that McCollum and lillard go off which definitely can happen and that indys bench falls flat (bench is the major deciding factor in this game imo). That's too many ifs to pick the crappier team as a +2.

    Agree -- just trying to figure out which.

    I hate fading OKC. They always show up when I think they're going to bomb.

    Agree on the OKC factor however I am riding this TNT thing until it proves otherwise over an extended period of time.

    Portland is surprisingly dominant at home this line is a head scratcher.....although I have seen these head scratching lines then the team who is better dominates and easily covers...easy to overthink Dallas vs panthers good example nfl but same point
