So the Clippers are not yet proving that they can compete well enough on the road, going 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games They put up a good fight early on against Orlando (as they seem to usually do, but then fall flat 2nd half) but couldn't contain further, losing 85-101 in Florida.

Knicks love to put on a good show at MSG and have gone 4-1 ATS at home recently. Clipps will be playing their third road game in four nights. I see NY covering here. Gonna lock it up now at -7 and hope it's another pounding L.A. Good luck!!!

yep get on it. my book is offering -6.5.

Knicks are the play.

mtxj30 · 02-09-11, 12:47 AM

putting 40 sbr points on this lolz

Seems like a lock to me, Clippers are straight awful on the road.

Knicks have the Lakers coming into the Garden on Friday (next game), their minds might to be elsewhere for this one. Other then that it seems like a decent pick.

Yeah, I thought about that too. But Lakers then will have their minds on Saturday's game, which is way bigger. I know Knicks ain't been playing the dialed in games they were a month ago, but this one seems to have the pieces in the right places.

just because they have the lakers coming up shouldnt equate to anything it's not like theyre going to conserve energy or anything you have to beat every team. It's like saying we aren't going to try as much because we have the lakers who are even harder to beat you want to win 2 from 2 not 1 from 2 or just to have one win against a better side.

Yeah, its called looking ahead, and its human nature. Having the Lakers coming up shouldnt equate to anything but it often does. I guess you are not familiar with the concept. The best teams in the league fall in these games on a regular bases. Check some out some of the games from the last 2 weeks by teams like Lakers, Celtics and the Spurs before their big match-ups.

All i'm saying is if the Knicks happen to not show up tomorrow dont go crying about how the game was fixed or the team always loses when you bet them.

I think the Boston blowout at Phoenix and L.A. loss to Sac was different though, only cuz these two teams were rival Finals contenders. I really do think they were "looking ahead" to the next game. However, the Knicks are just trying to prove themselves and they make sure to put on a show for the home crowd regardless.

Turiaf is gonna be out for the game, so the Ruskie Mozgov will have to help guard Griffin. Trust me, he hasn't forgotten the nasty dunks that Blake put over him in November. I think Mozgov will step up his game revenge style and Stoudemire will help contain in the paint as well. Gonna be a good one.

Whats the Line @ HT?

Sportsbetting123 · 02-09-11, 07:52 AM

I do not believe the Knicks will not be able to maintain the shooting percentage they had last game, however I would still lean towards them at -7. Best of luck

BetjeBetje · 02-09-11, 08:53 AM

If the HT line is +4 for the Clippers, then that will be my play of the day

french toast, bacon,,coffee

MarlinsFan2212 · 02-09-11, 09:03 AM

I like NY as well.

lonegambler · 02-09-11, 11:00 AM

over cant contain stoudamire and cant contain griffin

forzuto13 · 02-09-11, 02:42 PM

I like playing Clippers first quarters since they often start strong and then fade second half. Clipps are +1 first Q at my book. Think I'll take that as a side bet.

Chong Wizard · 02-09-11, 02:49 PM

Its actually the clippers 4th road game in 5 nights... they will be very tired... and the Knicks have had to watch highlights of Blake Griffin dunking all over them all year... they will come out with revenge on their minds and blow out the dead tired Clippers tonight! Knicks -7

GarbageMan · 02-09-11, 02:55 PM

NYK looked really good gainst the sixers last game, and have had 2 good days of rest since then(they're 7-5 after breaks o these lengths and are covering spread by ave of 2.2)
All this plus all their top players are fit and startin to hit a nice run of form, a top class bet I reckon

kaijunn · 02-09-11, 02:58 PM

dwight howard taught griffin a lesson and now it's amare's turn. welcome to the garden young buck.

Dbear13 · 02-09-11, 04:32 PM

Sounds like a good play...This is also an 11 game road trip, so keep watching them to bet against :-)

nulldah · 02-09-11, 04:46 PM

i will take clippers for HT, and knicks for full game

Pauulzcappin · 02-09-11, 04:51 PM

-7.5 is a bit too steep for the knicks

brock · 02-09-11, 05:11 PM

Scary but could br the play. Looking at Dallas -5

demens · 02-10-11, 12:16 PM

A look ahead spot.
