    Charlottes raw numbers for the year on the road still suck. They score 92.2 while giving up 96.5. Indiana's net is about -.6 at home. I think the line is about right.

      But I would imagine public perception (and money) are going to favor Charlotte in this game. If you want them get them now, if u want Indy wait until tomorrow.

        Charlotte is not a good road team...thats why I think its low. Even then, Charlotte is too hot right now and I am surprised at the line. We had a similar line for charlotte few days back against 76ers and they won that game easily. Dont over-think about trap or not. Charlotte is the play....its might sound as a square play...but its the right one. I wouldn't be surprised if the line moved to -3 or -3.5 by tip-off.

          I'm taking charlotte. They won't win by much but -1.5 is good enough for me.

              I hope the spread widens in favor of Charlotte. Pacers beat them last time they played in Indiana without Granger and Wallace put up 29 who probably wont play. If it widens to 3 I will play small on Indiana.

                              They beat Orl without GForce. That was the first game without him though.

                                  With the way the Bobcats play on the road, I feel that line is about right on. It is a no play for me. Unless they become underdogs.

                                    Charlotte seems like the easy pick here. Even on the road. I wouldn't even consider taking Indiana even at +3

                                      The more I think about this, Charlotte seems the play. I think they are tied with Miami for 8th place, they are playing for seventh place and if the playoffs started today they would be facing Orlando, a team they just beat on the road. Ill know more later.

                                        No trap, that line sounds about right to me.

                                        If anything, I like Indiana +1.5 because GWallace is out. But most likely, not gonna be on either side of this.

                                                  Based on full-season shooting stats, I make CHR to be a -2.5 fave. However Indiana has played better recently (albeit against some weaker opponents). I think Indiana has a good chance at winning this game, and the books do as well or they wouldn't have released the line so low. The higher total also implies Indiana may have a lot to say about who wins the game.

                                                    I think its based on Granger being back and Wallace out, also the fact Indiana beat them in Indiana last time by 3. The total for that one was 199. I took Charlotte at -2, mainly on the fact that they are playing for something while Indiana isnt. Last time they played Indiana was favored by 3 and won by 3, seems like a trap, but Im not buying it.
