Anyone know a confirmed status for Kevin Martin? All I can find is questionable.

I can't trust the Lakers to cover a DD spread at home, but I can't trust Utah on the road either. Easy PASS for me. Good luck buddy.

Yeah I feel you on that. But after watching last night's game, they gotta be ready and confident. The kid Favors is a really big talent and now boosting confidence he can attack Bynum and Gasol on the offensive end. Too bad the Jazz didn't get read of Harris, really thought they would've had a sweet deal there.

Also like the Rockets but last night's OT scares me. Might even play Phoenix if I can get -5.0.

Good luck guys

Via Yahoo:

Martin, who missed a third game with a strained right shoulder, Saturday said he could return Sunday in Phoenix after feeling much better a day after Friday's treatment in Houston, the Houston Chronicle report

Also listed probable at Covers.

Now listed as probable on Don Best. Looks like he plays.

This report says Martin is out....I am not sure of the credibility and have not seen this elsewhere.

Phoenix Suns Look to Notch Four in a Row Against A Thin Houston Rockets Team Tonight

Eutychus breaks down tonight's Phoenix Suns v. Houston Rockets game! Come join the conversation!

**MrXYZ** · 03-18-12, 05:14 PM

I'm on the Heat/Magic under with you guys & leaning over in the OKC/Blazers game, though 200.5 is a pretty sharp line IMO.

NBA 2011-2012 Regular Season 3/18/2012

Play #1

Heat/Magic under (191) 2x (Locked)

This one just steamed up and I was able to get 191. At best I thought I could get 190 in this game, so once I was able to get 191 I had to make this a 1.5x play. I have this game set at 187 giving us 4 full points of value. I will get you a full writeup later as I need to watch the lines now, but I view this as a very strong play at this number and I am rolling for the under for 2x. Good luck.

Play #2

Cavaliers (+3) 1x (Locked)

Pinny just juiced the +2 at -115 and my local went from 2.5 to 3. I have been debating this play all day, but I have to take the 3 points here. I have provided all my thoughts on this game in my posts above and my model has this game set at +1.5. I think the Cavs will play with more effort than the Hawks and I am rolling with Cleveland at home for 1x. Good luck.

Added 0.50x to Play #1 for a total of 2x. Correct units denoted above.

I'm going to bump this up to a 2x play. I may have one more play later. In this case, Miami has really dropped its PACE from top 3 in the league to #13. In the last 5 games, Miami is #24th overall at 89. That is right around where Orlando's numbers lay. In the previous 3 games, this series has seen a PACE of 83, 85 and 90. I suspect we see a slower pace tonight and this game will depend on three pointers. I don't think Orlando hits as many three's as they did at home last week. We have 4 points of value with my model having this one at 187, so I am going to roll with the under for 2x. Good luck.

**remypom** · 03-18-12, 06:32 PM

I hope ur right. Shit is shooting like if there is no D, but lta usually clutch on 2 unit plays

**Kurtz** · 03-18-12, 06:40 PM

Kevin Martin OUT according to Sports Insights.

**Love The Action** · 03-18-12, 06:46 PM

Looks like the refs have the over....20 ft attempts in the 1q alone. That's the regular season average for a whole half. The pace is beautiful though.

**eastern2** · 03-18-12, 06:46 PM

on pace for 80 FT attempts gotta love it

**Pivotpoint** · 03-18-12, 06:52 PM

Gl tonight.

2nd Q scoring slowing down a bit- LTA we done for the night?

**Love The Action** · 03-18-12, 07:09 PM

This one is playing right at the number with 3:42 left in the 1h. I think this one is going to be won in the 4th quarter anyway; that is, as long as the refs stop with the all the ridiculous foul calls. If it wasn't for the foul calls, this one would be on a 170 pace.

I'm still be debating one more play but want to see what happens with the line.

**Love The Action** · 03-18-12, 07:16 PM

Alright....I can't watch this game anymore. This officiating is horendous. The officials are singlehandedly bringing the over home. This should not even be fuking close. This really pisses me off man.

**Dexter** · 03-18-12, 07:17 PM

Brooklyn Dick - hilarious screen-name...

**Catchn_Picks** · 03-18-12, 07:22 PM

Yea, I'm frustrated too, but we are only a few points over pace...Miami is capable of shut down defense at any time. We need another good low scoring quarter.

We have climbed back out of MUCH worse situations than this.

I know...just saying. This shouldn't be close. I need this one....

Lta i must say i am a novice gambler and your money managrment talks have changed m degenerate habits into long term
Investments and I reallly appreciate it.

**Love The Action** · 03-18-12, 07:43 PM

Violet Palmer is the worst ref in the league. She is making phantom calls....that was not a foul on the breakaway layup by Richardson....everytime the pace dips to the under Palmer calls a foul. This is unreal.

Sounds like a good over ref for the future.

**dlunc3** · 03-18-12, 07:48 PM

clear path??? what a joke

I generally like her for overs.....but hate her at this moment in time.

**walv89** · 03-18-12, 07:48 PM

clear path foul? are you kidding me?

**Love The Action** · 03-18-12, 07:49 PM

Do you see? Fuking Palmer again! Unreal.

**mikea33** · 03-18-12, 07:51 PM

Where are these fouls coming from?? Wtf

**Love The Action** · 03-18-12, 07:51 PM

Another phantom and-1 for Howard. There was NO contact on the replay.

**Catchn_Picks** · 03-18-12, 07:51 PM

Pace right on the number right now but late game free throws in a close game could be a problem.

And yes...that was not a clear path call...James wasn't even past the defender.

Duh.

**mikea33** · 03-18-12, 07:52 PM

This girl is a biatch

**IllyPhilly[DOC]** · 03-18-12, 07:55 PM

Damn I'm not watching the game cuz I'm at work y'all making me nervous about this under

**Pivotpoint** · 03-18-12, 07:57 PM

Some of these free throws aren't really hurting that bad. Bunch of one point possessions. Both teams have a strong group of brick throwers, at the foul line. Game will come down to three pointers in the fourth.

Here's to many bricks from downtown, going forward.
