Any of these player props look like a decent play?

shari, pierce +10.5 is good imo. At home, Kobe doesn't look for his own as much. This coupled with the fact that I think the Lakers take gm 1 rather easily and when that happens, Kobe puts up more of a 28/8/6 night with big help from Gasol. Pierce will have a good game. +10.5 is a lot. My 2c

Ray will have a good night imo but Gasol should too. Pierce +10.5 is shaky imo teal. I think Kobe drops 32+ this is a statement game Kobe will be looking for his shot trust me. He's going to open the game just taking jump shots all day, and once Ray realizes he can't give him the shot, Ray will be right up on him then he's done off the dribble.

Its not going to be like 08 where Kobe is aggressive right from the start. Start every game with jump shots. Its too deadly right now.

Pierce should put up 20+ though.

The straight Kobe prop is sitting at Over 29.5 pts (-101) at Pinnacle right now, with Pierce at O18.5 (-116). Of the two, I like the Kobe number a little better, but not enough to play a comparative prop as Pierce is shooting well right now as well.

Neither of the two books I'm using until the French is over offer straight player totals.

Just thought it'd be fun to take one of these small so I can have a reason to care which player scores instead of just hoping for a team as a whole. Basically I'm a degenerate.

I like Garnett -3.5 over Artest

acestreet · 06-02-10, 02:53 AM

sounds good.good luck with them

I like Artest with the +3.5 Garnett might get 15... that's a HUGE might
Artest is going to be left open.... it's a matter whether his jumper is on.
At home i'll take it.

For some reason, the Artest bet looks good. If Garnett has to play Gasol and Odom the majority of the time, I can see Garnett getting in foul trouble in game 1. And I also could anticipate Artest's man to sag off him to play help defense against Kobe/Gasol like the other teams have done which would leave Artest open to cut to the basket or spot up more often than not. It also appears that he has found his touch and place in the offense at the right time. BOL whatever you choose!

Rondo. Fisher plays much better on the road and Pierce will be differing to him with Artest on him.

pierce +10.5
