I might slap myself for betting on this team at the end of the game....but I think this is a really good spot for them especially with the Pistons coming off an emotional loss to Miami in which they led for most of the game only to falter at the end. A completely meaningless game for them whilst the Cavs played hard against the Magic and almost got a win against the improved Nets. They can smell a win and I think they get it here today. The fact the public is pounding the Pistons makes me like it even more.

Cavs +5 -110 1 unit
Cavs ML +175 1 unit

Also on:

Celts -12.5 -110 2 Units
Denver -15 -110 2 Units
Memphis +9.5 -110 1 Unit

I think DET -3.5 was the best line on the board last night. The Cavs are lost w/o Jamison. Baron Davis will make his return and only hurt them imo...coming off an injury he hasn't fully recovered from, and taking minutes from sessions who is now their key player in Jamison's absence.

I don't like these picks, here's why:

Detroit is playing good ball, should have won vs Miami but won't miss the chance vs the worst team in the league. Celts can barely win a game these days so to expect them to cover a huge spread like that vs any team is risky. Denver will blwo out Washington but -15 is still a flip since they won't need much motivation. Memphis has a good chance since they are a descent team, but they are garbage from outside the arch and once Chicago starts hitting baskets this game could be over soon.

So many people betting against Chicago and Spurs because of the value in the lines... the value is there for a reason.

Dammit somebody buy this guy a steak dinner! I wanted to comment on the other leans he posted...but couldn't think of a shorter way to word it. I couldnt have said it better myself

I also like what you said about people fading Chicago and Spurs because of value.

To the guy who said Detroit was the best play on the board last night...laying points on the road with a team that has only won 7 road games and in a bad spot is never a smart idea.

Mexes · 03-25-11, 09:05 PM

should have played it

congrats!

demens · 03-25-11, 09:08 PM

Congrats.

I also thought Det was the best play on the board. Laying points with a team that has only won 7 on the road is quite ok considering they are playing a team that was the only team to lose to a team with only 1 road win. They also recently lost to a team that had only 4 road wins yet were favored in Cleveland anyway. Not sure whats much improved about the Nets, they were without DWill in that game and they have a roster almost as horrific as the Cavs.

Celts -12.5 -110 2 Units

Denver -15 -110 2 Units

Hopefully Denver holds on for a big night.
