    nuggets/rockets- over/under 223???
    I like under. Houstan doesn't always show up at home, and nuggets lead the leauge in points scored I believe, but they aren't good on the road and have played alot of games in a few days..but they don't play defense. Ahhh, maybe a no play. Just want opinions and thoughts.

    I'm tailing you from the other thread.

    I was very hesistant but here's why I pulled the trigger:

    revenging a loss vs opponent: 5-13 O/U this season

    In 2011, the Rockets have only had a spread over 218 3 times, 1-2 O/U there with it either going way over or way under.

    I think when it comes down to it Houston lets teams score who can work the lane and are not necessarily jump shooters. Den relies on their jumpshot and last week had to rely on Melo putting up 50 to score 103 points.
    Additionally HOU last game they attempted 96 field goals and still only scored 102 points.
    I think the teams play more defense then they did a week ago and Houston matches up pretty well against this DEN team. It will come down to how well Den can shoot the ball tonight, I think Hou has the advantage here and they themselves don't post a great FG percentage either.
    Its hard to call, I think it could very easily be a 103-96 game going way under or it will be right there at 114-109. Personally I'm keeping the under but I think they could be safer bets on the board.

                  Teams usually play better when their star is out, this makes me like nets vetter

                      Ginobili will be starting tonight according to the coach. I think Spurs take this one easily by double digits. A play that I'm liking better is San Antonio Team Total O99.5 though. iMacs a thread about it, if you wanna see my reasoning.

                            Over in the HOU game seems to be an unpopular pick in these forums.

                            For me, a game which has one team coming off a b2b, and a team that's got a day's rest, the Total should logically be Under. But the books set it at 221.5, and that to me means they're expecting a high-scoring game.

                            Over or no play for me.

                            Good luck w/ ur picks, fellas.
