    Should I go Big on Orlando 1stQTR/1stHALF?
    Washington is garbage in the 1st half / 1st quarter and Orlando is among top 5 in the league so far this season. Is there any reason to be concerned that Orlando starts out slow in this game?

    Orlando -2
    Orlando 1st half -3.5

    I'm on it. I wouldn't go big, but I'd definitely play it.

    the fact that the line jumped around -7.5 / -6 and back up makes this slightly fishy. Seems a bit low. But 1Q and 1H (especially -3.5) seems solid.

        Yeah I'm worried about the full time line, Washington does a lot better in the 2nd half and Orlando barely covered their last spread at home.

            Van Gundy has said that Orlando's problem has always been that they build up leads in the 1H offensively and then blowing them by playing weak defense in the 2H. Orlando is the best 1Q team in the NBA and Washington is the 2nd worst 2Q team. I think the 1Q/1H is a good play

              Johon and sj, if these plays hit please remind me to send you some points. I had written the first 1q play down last night and forgot to put it in this morning until I saw this thread. After reading sj's words which had confirmed what was only a hunch for me, I bet on the 1H too. I've risked a lot of cash on the these two bets and if I can transfer points from my phone I will if they hit. If you haven't heard from me after the game, send me a pm to remind me to do it when I get back to a computer. Come on Orlando!

                        1 more quarter to go to cash both. I swear to god I'm sticking with this startegy. top 5 teams in nba who dominated 1st halve vs bottom 5 who are garbage.

                        Who knows Washington might win this game, but let's hope that happens in the 2nd half.

                            I shouldn't be this high-strung at 11:45 in the morning but if Orlando can do this for us, I think I might cry! I put all the money I normally use for a days worth of games only on these two plays so fingers crossed these guys pull through. The only thing that worries me is if they get too big of a lead they may put the hacks in but hopefully they save that nonsense for the 2h. Then I'll cheer for Washington to win.

                              If orlando could rebound this would already be over........11 offensive rebounds is ridiculous

                                Yeah not a pretty stat. They need Dwight back in there now. I hate betting on this team and seeing him on the bench. Even though he pisses me off at the free throw line, at least he'd be making sure this game was more of a blowout already.

                                Oh wait- there he is!
