Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Wednesday, 2/6/08

Orlando -11
Utah +2.5

System plays.

New Jersey could very well be playing like the worst team in the league right now. The ship sunk long ago.

Utah on the other hand, is just playing great ball and should show themselves as a real force to be reckoned with the rest of the year. Denver is good, but not at that level yet.

[McRich]

UConn over Syracuse
I think UConn is playing great basketball right now. They are 4-2 SU on the road. I see a SU win by UConn.

UNC over Duke
It's a home game for UNC. I think the crowd will take Duke out of their game. I see a small cover by UNC.

[ChuteBoxe]

Orlando Magic -11: The Nets played hard last night and still lost by double digits to the Lake Show. I have no confidence in this team's will to win tonight, or any night for that matter.

Seton Hall +1.5: My alma matter. Played hard against Georgetown, and choked in the final minutes. Big game against Notre Dame tonight. If this was in South Bend, I'd go the other way, but on the road ND struggles, and this a good spot for 'The Hall' searching for a big win.

[xyzky]

715 Over 219 Utah@Denver
Lot of points, but, this game should easily get to 230 tonight.
703 Over 183 Spurs@Washington
I just picture this game easily getting over 200.

[Dark Horse]

Big game for Suns, who don't want to fall behind 0-3 in season series with Hornets. Key player out should translate into greater motivation. That's two key motivators for the Suns. Without Marion the other players should definitely be on greater defensive alert. Suns can't afford a shoot-out here. Not deep enough, especially tonight.

Phoenix Suns -5
Phoenix Suns Under 214

[rjt721]

Duke/UNC UNDER 163: Minus Ty Lawson, basically a one-man fastbreak, it will be tough for UNC to reach the 80s. Frasor also out, and given Quentin Thomas' lack of experience running the point, Carolina will likely play at a slower pace.

Oklahoma -2.5: Don't think UT's nearly as good as their record indicates, and I think the complete opposite of this OU team.

[B1GER1C828]

celts -7.5 celtics at home are such a tough team to beat cuz of their amazing defense. Clippers on the road wont be able to handle the defense and they let up too many points on the road which celtics will definatly capitalize on. i expect celts win by 17+

spurs/wizards over 182. its generally hard to bet a really good defensive team on the over, but wizard's defense is absolutely awful rite now and i can expect spurs 2 put up 100 or more tonight against them leaving wizards only needing to get 83 or more 2 cover which is very duable.

good luck!

[The HG]

Lakers/Atlanta under 203.5 - Lakers might be tired, and their offense might not function perfectly yet with Gasol, I think this will be a moderate-scoring game.

Wake Forest -2 - Georgia Tech has played some impressive games of late, but it's still tough to win on the road in the ACC against a solid team like Wake, so I'll ride with them.

[goldengoat]

lakers -3.5
kobe sees that shaq got traded which will make him want to win even more now to stfu people talking about the miami title

syracuse -2.5
uconn playing over its head. it ends tonight at a tough place to play.

[rake922]

Miami Heat +16
Miami is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings!!!!!!!

Denver Nuggets -2½
Denver is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games
Favorite is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings

[regularguy]

UConn +2.5 (at Syracuse)
If UConn can win by 5 on the road at Indiana, I'll take them with points at Syracuse. Syracuse has been pretty good for a string of about 3 games lately. But I'm not convinced.

Minnesota -5 (at Northwestern)
Northwestern can't rebound, they can't defend very good, and they don't beat anyone that is much good. They have not even been close to getting a conference win. Minnesota will roll.

[thezbar]

Heat +16
Elon +21
System play most pts

[Augustus]

784 Kansas State -10½
Nebraska: 1-9 ATS after playing a game as a home favorite
Kansas St: 18-6 ATS against conference opponents

786 Bradley -6
Missouri St: 0-8 ATS in road games
Bradley: 6-0 ATS in home games off a road win against a conference rival

[ipickwinners]

nuggets under 219.5

usually dont like pickingunder with these two teams, but i just think this is too high, looking for some good defense from utah

suns under 214

no marion tonight for suns im pretty sure, this will affect their chemistry and way of play, looking for a 201 number here

[MadCapper]

Knicks OVER 207 - both teams run and shoot and dont know what defense is.

Celtics OVER 184 without KG they run and play a running game. LAC doesntplay defense either.

[stump]

716 Denver Nuggets -2½ Jazz win streak ends


770 Georgia -3½ home unranked favorite vs ranked dog trend

[VBOMBER]

Chicago/Portland under 185.5 - Slow paced game with little offense keeps this under the number

NOK/Phoenix under 214 - Both offenses have been playing great, but NOK usually does a good job of controlling the tempo against the suns, and that fact should keep this under the number

[diogee]

Duke +4 Even if Lawson starts he will not be effective with the high ankle sprain. Without Lawson in the lineup Duke covers and has a real good chance at taking this one S-U

N.O. +5 The Hornets are the best road team in the NBA and the Suns are without Marion.

[eidolon]

Chicago Bulls +5½
Offensive plays are back'.'

Sacramento Kings -9
Kings are Home lovers, and against probably one of the 2 worse teams in the league, I'll take this.

[msubulldog]

denver -2 1/2

camby says he will play and denver good home team. utah has had several players with sicknesses lately.

texas el paso -7

tulane on 5 game winning streak but has not played anyone as good as el paso who hung with Memphis.

[jeffscds]

Denver -2.5 Nuggets are great at home.
Chicago +5.5 Should be a very close game. Portland has cooled off!

[LT Profits]

thezbar,

NO ACTION. Elon was one minute late.

======================================== ======

stump,

NO ACTION. Georgia was 7:30 ET.

[wtt0315]

portland -5.5
i think this is a blowout. chicago has been awful and portland will have too much here.

Air force +9
air force loses the game but only by 5-6. they are sort of even but home field gives the edge

[stump]

sorry about that
