    New Jersey Nets +9
    Well, it's not often that I reach for the worst team in the league to bet on. I do see some interesting angles to take New Jersey off of there last win against New York.Did you know the Nets have won 3 straight on the road against teams such as Charlotte,Boston, and most recent New York?? Prior to that winning streak they played within 7 pts on the road to the Cavs and several other single digit loses. The Nets are determined to not break history as the worst team in NBA history. They are currently playing there best ball of the season and we are getting extreme value imo at +9 points to take the Nets. The number is this high because of New Jerseys record and also because they are on the road. Them being on the road doesn't bother me. The Nets are actually a better road team than home team this year... 4 wins on the road and 3 wins at home.


    The Memphis Grizzlies on the other hand are starting to fizzle. They have had a good season for them up until recent weeks and now there are realizing there playoff dreams are all but gone. Memphis has actually lost 8 straight games at home as they are seeing there season slowly slip away from them.


    Final Analysis

    I see New Jersey showing up and playing with some confidence and energy off a nice road win to the Knicks in which they trailed by DD early. Devin Harris is currently playing like his old self and when he gets hot he can carry the team. The Nets will come into this game believing they can win and Memphis will come into this game feeling dejected and the feeling of a lost season. The Nets will relish the opportunity to go for a 4th straight road win and 2 wins in a row which they have not done all season.


    Early Line opened at +10 and the sharps are all over it. If you like the Nets this might be as good as a number as you are going to get. IMO, Memphis should only be favored by 5-6 points here.

    I have a bet on the Nets and will also look at throwing some coin on the Nets ML tommorow as I feel it will be of great value and real possibilitly as well.

    As always good luck with your wagers

      Leaning on the opposite here. Memphis is a strong home team. Their recent home skid has to end and I see this game vs the Nets as the perfect opportunity for them to put the hammer down and defend their home court emphatically. I see them winning by 15+

                15 may have been overzealous, but a DD cover shouldn't be too surprising at all.

                  the nets will run up the score at the end of then ball game they've been doing it lately, the public seems to bet against the nets everytime, so vegas will want public money and let the nets cover most of the time

                        We all have opinions. That's what makes this great and the world keeps spinning. You might be right anything is possible, but imo it is much more likely NJ Nets actually win this game than Memphis picks up a DD home victory against a hot team... Forget for the moments the Nets are the Nets and look at there road games since they got blew out to Utah.. Memphis, whatever they had they have lost and New Jersey is uptrending at the moment and Memphis is downtrending. Anything is possible, but it would be crazy/insane to pick Memphis to cover such chalk the way they have played lately. They have lost some confidence and the Nets will actually enter this contest with more confidence and not a damn thing to lose and that is a scary combination for a struggling home team... Wouldn't you agree??

                          look at the nets recent game they seem to cover against those top teams, they have a better chance to cover against a mediocre team, memphis got too much respect with this line -9

                              They may be unpredictable but they're now playing with more confidence. They may even win SU.

                                Yep and their recent trends together, are what makes this line so high. But I still like Memphis because this is a team, who has the talent to match any in the L, and have for the most part, shown the chemistry needed to play at their best. They're coming into this game both rested, and aware of their 8 game home losing streak. I see them hungry to end this streak and end it in a big way. If they come out like that, there is nothing the Nets can do to prevent a DD piecing.

                                  But again, I'm not saying Memphis is definitely the way to go. It's only a lean and we'll see how the lines move. But as of now, I do like them at -9 *gulp*

                                    For all I care, dd wins will become rare down the stretch. So any DD dog will soon become an auto play.

                                      Nothing the Nets do is shocking and least of which is the Nets winning tommorow. I feel a little crazy...maybe it's past my bed time, but I truly believe the Nets will have a chance to win tommorow and might pull it off. The Nets ML when it opens at anything +300 would create value to good to pass up as I see this game as more of a coin flip than the line indicates..

                                      Contrary to what people think this is not a David Vs. Goliath matchup here.

                                            They should win either half SU, which will make it easier for them cover.

                                              I think the Nets can win the 1H SU and still lose by DD. The talent disparity is that large.

                                                  That won't count much on the court. Motivation is the key.

                                                    The motivation is to end their losing streak in front of the home crowd, who will expect an easy win over the Nets, and they'll give them just that.

                                                    I'll take a motivated Grizz team over a motivated Nets team anyday.

                                                          NJ are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 road games.
                                                          nets +9 is my favourite play today

                                                                will bet small on nets ML. sound crazy , maybe, but nets were actually better team at the first half at first meeting, but then second half n their home woes continue.. so they may see this as their potential 8th win
