anyone else like Timberwolves -5?

[FindTheLock]

After yesterday I am 5-2-1 putting it on timberwolves -5 tonight. Anyone have any thoughts on this one?

[apwmel]

Good pick. NJ is reeling and last game of road trip.

Line went from -4 to -5. I think it makes it even better!

[Crnjak]

agree with that Minnesota -5!! huge play!!!

Does anybody know the status of Darko Milicic for the Timberwolves?

Not sure bro. I don't really worry about things like that. I bet on the number. Last night I had raptors +9 with their best scorers injured and they had it covered until a meaningless foul with 7 seconds left turned it into a push. The NBA is trickier than other sports, I try not to get caught up in the emotions of injuries and just stick to the numbers.

I use the same approach, I only look at the numbers, I figure that the lines makers are smart enough to know who is out and what it means.

I'm on Minnesota due to these numbers:

Win % road/home:

New Jersey 16.7%
Minnesota 42.9%

Actually I thought that -5 was pretty generous.

Yes those are all important numbers for sure. I also like the -5 because it has been cashing for both home and away teams. Even numbers like 6,8,10+ have been coin tosses. The 4.5,5,7,7.5 have been cashing on faves in spots like these. +9 has been giving a slight edge to the +

Do you guys factor in teams coming off of a break, or teams that have been on the road for a few games?

Yes. Nets are on last game of road stretch

[ShogunRua]

Do you factor in the fact that the home team was getting completely trashed till 5:00 am this morning?

No, but I also don't factor in their mothers maiden name so what is the point?... some things are better left out of an equation. Unless i know them personally and know exactly what they were doing last night, and how well they handle their liquor if they were boozing, I can not use that as useful information.

[Mexes]

it could be a close game... minnesota knows how to bring back teams during the game although they lead by double digits

[riskyProps]

I like the timberwolves myself

[Lint Pockets]

-5 would be my play too

[FindTheLock]

[larry040681]

I don't. I'm too busy with my young wife getting NEKKID all the time to do all that research.

only takes 2 seconds to find out where the teams played their last few games. ESPN posts them 3 at a time for your convenience.
