Books want your money on Denver

suicidekings · 03-05-11, 02:07 AM

Agreed. I feel like it should be Denver -3.5 here. Highly suspect. Pretty sure that the Clippers will pull off the win, but I don't think it's really worth any attention... The Clips can't be trusted.

HoulihansTX · 03-05-11, 02:14 AM

The Clips can't be trusted.

That's all you needed to say.

baldur · 03-05-11, 02:22 AM

because eric gordon is back. and clippers beat miami, lakers, san antonio and denver at home this season.

forzuto13 · 03-05-11, 02:45 AM

Well I already put my money that I made the other night on Denver/Utah game on Denver +1.5 in L.A. As Baldur noted though, Gordon is back and he was the main reason they won so many games earlier in the season.

I'll take the first road game of a surging, motivated team over the Clipps. Denver about to go on six road games. First one always a big one, to get the momentum in place. I think they play extra hard on those first road games. Denver is actually favored by about two points in this case, since home team normally gets an automatic 3 pts toward their favor without considering the team itself.

Take Denver. Don't think too much about it. I'd take the under too. Denver games been coming in under since the roster realignment. Plus, Los Angeles had lost four straight and 11 of 12 to Denver beforet their last win in January. I don't forsee Gordon, being as sore and rusty as he is, hitting a bunch of b2b threes to win the game like they did last time.

I was surprised Houston was a dog vs the Clippers few days ago and played Hou but LA won by 3. Now I am surprised again, perhaps I will play Denver small.

I bet Denver ML already. Today I played SAS because you'd be a sucker not to, similar situation for Saturday.

ShogunRua · 03-05-11, 03:37 AM

I agree with you here Lunchbox. Clips -1.5 is the play.

there is no other explanation

you should have the same reaction when they last played the Jazz. Den was +3
which one is better the Clips or the Jazz.
but this beside the point. Denvers is now deep in talents across the board, think of them as Dallas minus Dirk.

DemoralizdDreamr · 03-05-11, 04:14 AM

clips will win by a three or four

I don't buy Denver yet. I'll take Clipshow.

dolphan34 · 03-05-11, 06:33 AM

Gonna keep riding Denver since the Carmelo trade. Either books are trying to trick people into betting Clippers or else there are still a lot of nonbelievers in this Denver team. Nuggets are on fire right now, but Clippers aren't slouches at home either so it isn't exactly a gimme.

Pauulzcappin · 03-05-11, 06:39 AM

Everyone and their mother will be on the Nuggets.

Reconsidering on playing them.

Any reasons on why you're making this choice? Just only because everyone else is playing it?

nulldah · 03-05-11, 10:15 AM

well common sense is denver. but then when the line is like this, you have to wonder what the hell is going to happen? It's not like denver are in a slump right now

Look at Nuggets road record, look at Clippers ATS at home lately.

tokio · 03-05-11, 10:21 AM

Denver was +3 at Utah and look what happened....cashed it. I'll lay my money on +2 at Clippers definitely.

Cap dat 4ss · 03-05-11, 10:42 AM

Nuggets sure seem like the play here. Clippers are a very good team at home however having beat ALL of the top teams in the league there minus maybe the C's. Nuggets are on fire since losing Anthony and Im not sure they slow down today. I will keep betting them @ +$$$ until they go cold. When they do I will be fading them hard for awhile.

monkeyking · 03-05-11, 10:46 AM

they were dogs in utah too and everyone took them

Fed_42420 · 03-05-11, 11:19 AM

Looks like Afflalo, Billups, and Gallinari could all be out. If none of them play it makes sense, it is in LA. And the Clips beat Denver by 13 in January, so

Fed_42420 · 03-05-11, 11:20 AM

lol

Jin.link · 03-05-11, 11:30 AM

Billups is up in ny dude. Check your info

kidcd · 03-05-11, 11:35 AM

the market has not caught up with how good the Nuggets are post Anthony, soon the Nuggets will be laying big numbers again and not covering enjoy them as a dog...Nuggets +2 for me

demens · 03-05-11, 11:37 AM

There was a thread JUST LIKE THIS, when the Clips played the "hot" Rockets last game. You people just dont learn do you.

ikon808 · 03-05-11, 02:03 PM

Have you been watching them play there playin realy good to me an the clips always let people back door them in the end... I'm sticking with denver

mac miller · 03-05-11, 02:18 PM

Rather just play the Under on this one...u210

og4667 · 03-05-11, 02:23 PM

Nugs were +3 in Utah, should have been favored. this is also a revenge game for the Nuggets who lost to the Clips earlier this season as a road fav. Don't be too sharp here, Clips were favored by 2.5 over the Rockets and covered by .5 pt.

I see the Nugs getting it done tonight with their defense. The Clippers score best off of turnovers and as long as Lawson and Felton move the ball well this should be another win.

Realistically this game is 50/50, take the value.

kmoney · 03-05-11, 04:12 PM
