Wish I'd gotten a better number, though.

I honestly think either the Bobcats or Wizards win outright tonight.

i know....if i were up YTD or close, i would have messed around with a ML play...

**Dexter** · 01-05-11, 04:10 PM

interesting that the greek is the only book still holding a 6 on utah...

**Hoopster17** · 01-05-11, 04:30 PM

Waiting on word about Millsap?

News: The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Paul Millsap will attempt to play on Wednesday night against Atlanta, despite being officially listed as questionable. He is recovering from a bruised right hip that limited his participation in the team's morning shootaround. "It's very sore; really sore. It's hard to put weight on it," Millsap said. "So we'll see what happens." Millsap added: "I doubt if I can get up and down the court like I wanted to. Can't really jump off of it. My whole right side just really don't work right now."

I took jazz this morning at -6.5 for 1x. But being in utah, just cuz I'm a homer, but also don't think that atlanta will perform all that well up here in the thin air of utah.

**Hoopster17** · 01-05-11, 08:04 PM

Sounds like Millsap is most likely out from what im reading, but i guess will find out right before tip..

**Hoopster17** · 01-05-11, 08:06 PM

Lockedonsports David Locke
Paul Millsap will not dress. Francisco Elson will start. @1041straight says AK has to have a big night

**Dexter** · 01-05-11, 09:29 PM

i dont have the stats in front of me, but i would bet the jazz are one of the worst 1st qtr teams in the nba

**fly fisher** · 01-05-11, 09:31 PM

but a great 2nd half team ...

**fly fisher** · 01-05-11, 11:11 PM

wow did I mess up, i put 3 more units on the jazz 2nd half and they are getting killed at home. I suck at this game.

**Dexter** · 01-06-11, 02:16 PM

I only play dogs if I think they can win the game straight up and I always take them on the money line for X and on the spread for 2X. This works really well. So, in this case, I would put 2X on the money line and 4X on the spread.

that is a good strategy....

like the pacers too.

**ThingsFallApart** · 01-07-11, 11:27 AM

chicago and miami

**genghis_kahn** · 01-07-11, 11:30 AM

Do you think Pacers can win this game or just cover the spread? I can't see SAS losing 3 straight...

**No coincidences** · 01-07-11, 11:31 AM

Take a look at the Suns, Dex.

i almost took the knicks, but decided against it cause of the early movement....took the pacers as my 3rd play.

genghis....the spurs should win, but i think it stays within the #

**curious** · 01-07-11, 11:56 AM

So may great plays today Dex and you are only listing a couple?

I like these:
San Antonio
Chicago
Boston
Orlando
Miami
New York

Thanks for the response, Dex. Like your plays. Think Indiana keeps it close at home, but playing Spurs ML here.

Curious, like all your plays except Chicago. Think the Sixers have revenge on the mind (blown out in Chi 3 weeks ago) and are tough at home. Bulls also don't have a sterling road record and thinking something might be up with Boozer...

i do better when i make less plays....so i'm trying to stay at 3 plays per day.

**curious** · 01-07-11, 12:09 PM

Then I would go with Orlando and Golden State

spread?

I don't know how to evaluate spreads, I am almost always talking money line. The only time I use spreads is if I am playing a dog then I go X on the money line and 2X on the spread.

I did go on the spread a couple of days because I wanted a break from a few days of losing on the money line, but that didn't last long and money lines are hitting well again.

You will have to cap those games and see if the spread makes sense, I really cannot answer that question.

**Wilforth** · 01-07-11, 01:14 PM

Bulls/76ers UNDER 190.5
Nets/Wizards OVER 190
Knicks ML (+125)
Warriors -10

**therealdealau** · 01-07-11, 01:17 PM

good luck on your plays!

**NOREGRETS** · 01-07-11, 01:44 PM

Does anybody know why the Spurs/Pacers game is off the board?

Tony Parker skipped shootaround on Friday with "cold-like symptoms" and is questionable to play tonight vs. the Pacers.

Thanks Dexter. I am glad that I put the play in at +6, I see it dropping to +4.5 and even +4.0. Just so you know, I have recently been teasing your plays, in different ways. It has worked out great. For instance, last night, the Mavericks and Kings won for me. I know what everybody says about teasing and how it is a suckers play. I agree with this for the most part. But, with basketball (spreads only), it has worked great. Just thought that I would share this with you. Like the plays tonight, thank you.

**JamalCrawford** · 01-07-11, 02:56 PM

so pacers +4.5 is a no go?
