    Best Bets 2/24

    Who do you guys like for today?

    I will track everybodies plays, so please make sure you post a line.

    Also, I don't mind if you post parlays, teasers, or round robins, but these plays will not be reflected in the standings.

    Check Dartmouth and report back, NCAAB studs, if you don't mind. Don't know why that shouldn't be a low scoring game down to the wire.

    Early NBA leans: DEN, BOS, MEM, LAC

    2* MEM +4 (-103)
    --for MEM another BTB off tough loss; last time they dug in and won at LAX
    --SAN has struggled against non-patsies

    1* BOS -2 (100)
    --BOS stepping it up on this trip
    --end of trade rumors and drop in class benefit them

    1* DEN E (+125)
    --post-trade boost for DEN
    --MIN remains overvalued and should not be favored over playoff team anywhere

    1* ORL -2 (+106)
    --drop in class for hungry ORL

    NCAAB
    1* Dartmouth +8 (+104)
    --you get about 8% of the total with a team that took PRIN to wire last time

    Passing on:
    NYK, MIL, LAC, u@ORL, o@POR

    I took a fairly close look at it and I'm not getting anything significant. If I had no other options and I had to play something tonight, then I would go with the UNDER 105, because I expect Princeton to control tempo at home and Dartmouth is a very poor shooting team.

    Princeton 55
    Dartmouth 47

    My take on that game is that if indeed that is going to be very low scoring than getting 8.5 will come in very handy if you have Dartmouth.

    I really like the sonics tonight ML +105 (3 units)

    Teams playing the second game after losing their leading scorer to injury (or trade in this case) generally don't fair well. The first game, they do, which is why a bad injury-riddled Orlando team hung with New Jersey last time out. Tonight I think it will catch-up with them.

    1H CHI +2.5 -104

    I don't see the Pistons getting serious until the 2H. Meanwhile, CHI should bring their A-game. For the season I have a 1-5 1H ATS trend for Billups (the 'engine') in this situation.

    Going back two months, DET as road fav of 4 to 10 pts in 1H (most recent first): +1, +3, -1, -4, -1, +19, -3; for a 1-6 ATS record.

    That is a good point, maritime.

    Are you properly accounting for the dedicated cheerleading we should expect to see from Darko tonight?
