Dallas Mavericks / Portland Trail Blazers Under 186
Portland is coming off consecutive games where they have failed to score 80 points. In those two games, Brandon Roy has shot 7 of 32 for 16 points. The guy is just not the same and I hate to say it, but he is a bench player at this point because he cannot play long minutes without injuring himself. Portland is not a good road team, with a 5-10 road record, and no victories vs a +.500 team.

Dallas is coming off of a bad loss to Milwaukee in Dallas and will want to take it to a team they know is struggling. Dallas matches up very well with Portland, even finding someone as slow as Jason Kidd to match up with (Roy).

Dallas is coming into this game angry wanting to avenge an embarrassing lost, Portland is coming into this game angry at their teammates wanting a way to score 80 points.

I mean, how can you not love betting against a team where a guy who has shot 7/32 his past two games has gems like this:



Back to the match ups thing, take a look:
Marcus Camby - Brendan Haywood/Tyson Chandler
Lamarcus Aldridge - Dirk Nowitzki/Tyson Chandler/Shawn Marion
Nicolas Batum/Wesley Matthews - Caron Butler/Shawn Marion/Jason Terry
Brandon Roy - Deshawn Stevenson/Jason Terry/Caron Butler/Jason Kidd
Andre Miller - Jason Kidd/Jason Terry/JJ Barea

Honestly, how is Portland going to score? I just don't see them putting up enough points in this game to push the game over. The only chance it has is if Dallas puts up 100+ (probably more like 110), but Portland is actually pretty strong defensively with the 8th best road defense allowing only 97 PPG.

Are you on Dallas as well?

[portnoy65]

I'm with You!!!

[BelieveTheHype]

As of now, no, but if I had a play I would lean Dallas. I may end up making it a play later, but if I did it would probably be a 1Q/1H play.

hey hype, what book do u use... my bookmaker isnt tht good for me..

Boston Celtics 1H -2
The Celtics are among the league's best at covering 1H ATS road lines with a record of 8-4, while New York has one of the worst home 1H ATS records coming into this game at 3-7. New York is 8-16-1 in their last 25 games against Boston and 5-13 ATS in their last 18 in New York against the Celtics.

Boston has not trailed after the first half sine November 21st against the Raptors in a game that Rajon Rondo did not play. The only other time this season Boston has trailed at half was against Dallas back on November 8th. That's 10-2 SU on the road after the 1H.

When Boston beat New York earlier this season, the Celtics led by 4 at half time. In this game, the Celtics had basically no bench production and got only 12 points from Ray Allen. The Knicks bench combined for 40 points and Amare had his usual 27 points. I don't see the Boston bench getting killed again. Boston is going to come into this game ready to show everyone who the top Eastern Conference team is.

Boston also has the league's highest average road margin at +8.8 PPG, while New York is sporting a +2.5 home margin. That's a margin of +6.5 in favor of Boston, without factoring in that Boston on average allows only 45 PPG in the 1st half and New York has been giving up an average of 57 PPG in the 1st half at home.

I expect Boston to come into this game trying to prove a point and show the rejuvenated Knicks who is really the East's top dog.

Anyone Iike ceItics/Iakers mI parIay? Pays +140


I reaIIy Iike Boston and with the rest the starters got after the Wizards beatdown I think Iakers wiII be energized and ready to avenge their Ioss to Indiana at home Iast month...

[BelieveTheHype]

New Orleans Hornets 1H -5.5
I was on Houston last night against Sacramento in the 1st half and they covered easily and I will be on the Hornets tonight and expect them to cover easily. Sacramento is 0-11 ATS on the road this season covering 1st half lines, while the Hornets boast one of the league's best 1H ATS numbers at home with an 8-4 record.

Sacramento is coming into this game after a beat down from Houston last night and now travels to the Big Easy to face a Hornets team that is 9-3 at home. Tyreke Evans is once again doubtful and we will likely see the great Luther Head take his place in the lineup. We all know Sacramento is terrible defensively giving up an average of 56 PPG in the first half, while New Orleans has one of the league's best home defenses, allowing only 43 PPG.

In 12 home games this season, New Orleans has only trailed at half time once, to the Mavericks. The Hornets have the league's 5th highest 1H Margin at +6.7, while the Kings have the league's second worst road 1H margin at -9.4.

With the Kings being on a back-to-back, Tyreke Evans once again likely out and New Orleans rested with home court, I love the Hornets in this spot to take the first half by a comfortable margin of 9+ points.

[BelieveTheHype]

Miami Heat 1H -9.5
In Miami's last game against Cleveland, in Cleveland, they led by 19 at half. Cleveland was playing better then than they are now, coming into this game on an 8 game losing streak, seemingly reeling from the Miami defeat, while Miami is playing better than ever, entering on a 9 game winning streak.

I could get into numbers, talking about how Miami is 4th in the league with a +7.6 home 1H PPG margin, while Cleveland is 4th worst in the league with an average half time deficit on the road of -8.3 points, but really, why? Miami is 8-5-1 ATS during the 1st half at home, while Cleveland is 3-10 ATS covering 1st half lines, 2nd worst record in the league.

I expect Miami to come out once again and blast the Cavaliers off the court. Cleveland does just not have the players, the speed or the coaching to slow down the roll the Heat are on and really, they don't belong on the same court at the moment.

[BelieveTheHype]

Dallas Mavericks -3.5 1H
I wasn't originally going to take the first half line here, but 4 points for the Mavericks at home against a team that can't score seems good to me. I've already gone over above why Dallas will shut down Portland on offense and then we can see that Dallas has an average home 1H margin of +5.0, while Portland is at -1.1 PPG. Dallas is 9-5-1 ATS at home this season covering 1st half margins, and are giving up the second lowest 1H point total in the league at 44 per game.

I expect Dallas to come into this game angry after blowing a 20 point 1st half lead against Milwaukee last game and get up big early. Dallas has trailed at half at home once in 15 games this season and should get back on track against Portland. I think Dallas easily defeats this -3.5 line and could be up 10+ at half.

If you're a parlaying type of guy, here are some ML parlay's I think are worth checking out:

Boston -1 1Q / Memphis ML 1Q / Phoenix ML 1Q
Hornets 1H ML / Grizzlies 1H ML / Mavericks 1H ML
Hornets ML / Grizzlies ML / Mavericks ML

Not official plays, but I think they are possibly solid. Keep in mind I am not the parlaying type so those are not my plays.

I would be careful with the Lakers in this spot. The Lakers are I believe -260 and you can probably get Philadelphia at -220 or Dallas at -270 which I think are safer.

[BelieveTheHype]

There's also a player prop I'm seeing on LeBron O/U 26 points, which I think he goes over, if you have that available.

[Arsefluff]

hype loving the plays again mate not just saying this but had miami and mavericks in my head 1H last night can't decided whether to add suns or hornets 1H to make my parlay though.....

[BelieveTheHype]

Memphis Grizzlies 1Q -2
The Grizzlies are averaging a +1.2 PPG ratio at home, but are facing Charlotte who is the league's worst 1Q road team at a -6.8 PPG clip. Gerald Wallace is not playing in this game and he is by far the Bobcats best player this season. The Bobcats are entering this game after beating Toronto yesterday in Charlotte, making this a back-to-back, while Memphis has been at home since Monday. The Bobcats have not led on the road after the 1Q since November 10th at Toronto. Tyrus Thomas will be starting in place of Wallace and that is a huge offensive drop off. Memphis is playing the best ball of their season coming into the game on a 3-game winning streak. Memphis is also playing pretty strong defense as of late allowing 73, 83 and 98 to the Suns in their last three. I think Charlotte may start out rough without Wallace and have a bit of trouble scoring, allowing Memphis to build an early 1Q lead.
