Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Friday, 1/4/08

[Yung Mula]

Houston +4.5
Minnesota +6

[awhitejackson]

Detroit -4....Pistons just look tough at home and tougher on the road..I look for an easy cover here..

LAL/Philly over 199.5....Philly seems to be one of those teams who play to the speed of their opponents..There opponents tonight in the Lakers score quick and often.

[jayz00]

hawks/pacers unders
washington -1.5

Good luck everybody

[Cabo]

Detroit Pistons -4
Rider -4

I think Detroit is a solid play tonight.
Rider, real shot in the dark on this play.

[LT Profits]

MARIST +4: Marist is 7-6 straight up overall, but they have been competitive against some nice teams, and they are 3-2 SU in their true road games this season. They are coming off of a nice 73-67 win over Hofstra in the Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden after giving hosts St. John’s all that they can handle in a 62-59 loss the previous night Rider has not really beaten much.

PHILADELPHIA 76ERS +7.5: The Sixers have actually been a good bet on the road this year going 10-6 ATS, and they are 5-1 ATS (4-2 SU) in their last six games overall. They are seeking revenge for a five-point home loss to the Lakers earlier this season. The Lakers may have had too much time off, as they have been off since getting blown out by Boston on Sunday and are being outscored by an average score of 103.0-102.5 this season when playing with at least three days rest (this is four).

01/04/08: USCFOOTBALL33’s Parlay Of The Day

Ride the wave as I go for my 3rd straight winner!

Orlando -4.5
Analysis: With McGrady out, the Rockets have proven that they can still hang with the best of them. The key word in that phrase was “hang” and that is all they will be doing tonight against a very good Orlando team that feels it has a lot to prove. Oh and did I mention that Houston is 8-11 on the road? Take Orlando to cover this spread.

Denver -6
Analysis: Let me put this as nice as I can: Minnesota is AWFUL. Not only that, they are going up against one of the league’s best teams tonight. Now you might be thinking, “Why are we taking a 6-7 road team?” Well, I will tell you why. Minnesota is 3-11 at home! Does that sound like home court advantage to you? Take the Nuggets to cover the spread here.

[LLXC]

709 Sacramento Kings +7½: Kings have been playing pretty good ball. If Lebron doesn't play, the better.

724 Los Angeles Lakers -7½: I expect the Lakers to bounce back after their last loss.

[Deke101]

Really like these plays..

Spurs -12

Toronto +5

GL All...

[bbyhill]

703 Pistons/Raptors over 186 1/2 Pistons put up at least 100 so it should be well over

NBA

LA Lakers....Lakers are 10-6 ATS at home and the Sixers are playing way over there head see them coming back to earth on the last leg of this road trip

Washington.....Playing dreadfull right now BUT the Bucks are worse and are 1-7 ATS as home Fav will take the Wiz to pull the upset

[Data]

715 New York Knicks +12½
I like that many points if Ginobili is out.

717 Washington Wizards +1½
I like this year Wizards. While the Bucks want to win tonight, I do not think they are good enough to beat Wizards while Mason is out. Besides, Redd could be out too.

[LT Profits]

Yung Mula, jayz00, Deke101,

You guys have NO ACTION unless you add some analysis. Please read the rules.

Thanks.

[20Four7]

way to follow up on the rules LT, I'm not a big baskets fan but even I have managed a little commentary to my selections. From reading this thread my NBA knowledge is improving or maybe just getting confused. I actually am paying attention to what some of the people here post.

[sharktank1]

Medical Parlay !

LOYOLA MD. (-5)
Great ATS record @ home, plus they sound like a DR. team.

UC DAVIS (-5.5)
The Aggies are 5-1 @ home this year.
Many Dr.'s have graduated from Davis.

And the DR. is always right.
Especially on this medical parlay!

[durito]

719 Miami +14: Dallas isn't too good as big favorite and after 3 straight spread loses Miami should bounce back.

719/720 Miami/Dallas Under 196.5: I expect Miami to slow the pace of this this game to try and keep it close.

[EaglesPhan36]

Wizards +1.5
Likely no Michael Redd, likely no problem for the Wizzos. Road team 12-4 ATS in this series.

SMU +13.5
Matt Doherty attended and coached at North Carolina. That's better stats than anyone on the Colorado roster. Who the F are they to be giving 13 pts to any team? COL 2-6 ATS as favorite in recent history.

[rake922]

Boston -13.5
Boston typically blows teams out when playing at home. Memphis will struggle being able to score against the Defense of the Celtics. I am thinking Boston will cover in this situation tonight.

Denver -6
Denver Nuggets are 13-5 straight up at home. Today they play the worst team in the NBA so I really believe that Denver should be able to cover easily in tonight's ball game.

[ralquis]

Washington Wizards +1½
Wash s/b favored, they will win the game
Memphis Grizzlies Over 195
Mem has no defense, especially on road

[JBC77]

Orlando Magic -4½......Magic are due to have a decent game at home. Houston looks weak, no McGrady.

Los Angeles Lakers -7½...LA got beat down by the Celtics while wearing classic Laker throwback underpants. Tonight they mean business.

[Dark Horse]

DET -4
Continuing to back the hottest team in the NBA. They're machines.

GS -3.5
Warriors haven't lost two games in a row since starting the season 0-6.

[indy62]

detroit-4..im riding them like a rented mule.......and sanantonio-12.5...i like to call it the knicks stink factor

[bookie]

Detroit -4...They're playing well and they're not playing down to their competition...Toronto not in a good spot just having gotten back from a road trip.

Washington +1.5...Antionio Daniels makes them whole again, his and Butler's recent absences have darkened team's form...This is a play-off team if they stay healthy and should not be dogs to cellar-dwellers like the Bucks.

[regularguy]

Loyola Maryland -5
Fairfield is terrible. Loyola will score >70. Fairfield will not keep up. IMO.

UC Davis -5.5
Cal Riverside has a poor defense. I think UC Davis will win their first Big West conference game (their first one ever, in fact), and win it pretty big.

[charlie64]

DENVER-6 Minn cant beat anybody

Detroit-4 Detroit is the definition of consistency

[goldengoat]

cleveland under
cavs can force slow tempo on flaky kings

nuggets -6
wolves dont have the scoring to keep it close

[alexda[]]

memphis +13 hope boston is looking ahead and memphis can keep it close

washington -2.5 like betting on teams that go from dogs to favs.

glta

[Crayzee]

memphis +13-using the "look ahead" strategy
knicks+12-using the san antonio flat from last nite strategy

[nevadaside]

SAC/CLE Under193
CAVS keep'em low more than not, SAC may be fine playing a slower pace game w/a tough BULLS matchup on deck.

NO/GS-3
GS @Hm vs a nothing special team laying nothing more than a Davis/Ellis/or Jackson signature "3". They screwed me 2 nights ago, they'll unscrew me tonight.....line maybe low due to NO handling of LAC, but GS ain't LAC.

[nevadaside]

SAC/CLE Under193
CAVS keep'em low more than not, SAC may be fine playing a slower pace game w/a tough BULLS matchup on deck.

NO/GS-3.5
GS @Hm vs a nothing special team laying nothing more than a Davis/Ellis/or Jackson signature "3". They screwed me 2 nights ago, they'll unscrew me tonight.....line maybe low due to NO handling of LAC, but GS ain't LAC.

Corrected GS line from -3 to -3.5

[thezbar]

With the lunar orb shifting into Sagittarius this evening, I'm looking for some run and gun games on the left coast.
76er's Over 199.5
Hornets Over 209

[dwaechte]

Minnesota +6

I still don't hate this Minnesota team, despite their putrid record so far. They're young and they still give a shit. Not sure if I can say the same for Denver.

Lakers -7.5

Just too much of a mismatch in my mind for this line to be this low.

[jeffscds]

Denver -6 Seems like an easy cover.
Golden State -3.5 G.S. too fast for N.O.

[pico]

damn it, went 1-1 again. that is 3 days straight.

[accuscoresucks]

im dropping out the last time i rememberd parlays are for suckers,but this is for fun
