I know LTA has got to love some Magic/Hawks under. I'm thinking another classic 85-82 type of game out of those two inept offenses.

I think that Under in Atlanta looks really good if we look at Hawks latest totals and H2H the last two seasons (and that's about 20 games).
I think that Magic got value as well, given the fact that Hawks beat them in playoffs and won them in Orlando.
What are your thoughts LTA?

Don't know if this is relevant or not but some suggest on blogs and posting and such that the recent jump in higher scores over the last few days, especially the number of games in the 100's may be due to the upcoming All Star break. Obv too small of a sample to really know, but possible.
Tonight should tell us a lot more. Only 4 games but will the teams go all out with a break coming for most of them?
BOL LTA and all.

This Hawks/Magic is one to look into. When is the last time Orlando won a game in Atlanta?? Let alone covered the spread?? My only concern is Joe Johnson is out and his team leading 17.6 ppg. Atlanta at +4 still seems like alot. Both these teams know each other very well, as well as Josh Smith and Howard growing up together and knowing each others game, its just who is gonna perform better. Howard hasnt dominated in the regular season like he did in the playoffs against the Hawks They are both going to be playing hard going into the all-star break and between Johnson out and the trend of slow half court offense and cashing Unders im thinking Atlanta and/or Under. Let me know what u think...GL today everyone and LTA. Great work yesterday.

5dimes has the line at 2. I love the Magic there becuase of no Johnson and Orlando has been hot recently. Also, in regards to your comments about Howard not dominating the Hawks, watch him to dominate tonight without Horford there to cover him. I love the -2 for Orlando.

NBA Regular Season 2011-2012 2/23/2012
Play #1
Lakers/Thunder under (196) 1x (Locked)
This game steamed to the over and I jumped on the under at 196. Most books currently have 195.5. I would like 197, but dont think we see it and I wont have time to watch the lines at work. Both teams are in a b2b, 4 in 5 fatigue spot and even though I generally ook for value on the over in such spots due to the negative effect of fatigue on defense, I think this matchup is more conducive to the under. The lakers cannot get into a shootout and win, so I expect brown to emphasize a half court game and slow pace. I think this play will come down to the fourth quarter when the pace should really slow. The refs are favorable for an under play with stafford, adams and blair. I have this game set at 192 giving us 4 points of value at this number. Based on the foregoing, I am rolling with the under for 1x. Good luck.

I got 2.5, my bad. I had to go back and look at my ticket. And no, it's not the first half, it's for the game.

I'm on the other side. Got it at 194 before the steam. Seriously though, the only thing that worried me was Brown slowing it way down in this game. I still think this is gunna be close and could go either way. OKC is going to get theirs on offense and if LA wants to compete they need to pound in down low and grind it out. However, the two nationally televised games happen to be statement games on both sides. These teams are gunna go at it tonight before the break and probably put on a show in my opinion. Good luck LTA

Thanks LTA. 20 minutes later after your post the line is at 195 which is where I locked in. Kicking butt against the closure, you are.

LTA, don't you think that Under 101 for the Thunder is the better pick? Maybe even 102 if the line or the total will move.
Only once the entire season Lakers conceded more than 102 points. I realize that Thunder are in great offensive form, but Lakers are a great defense team.
Or you never play team totals as a rule?

Im going to tail you as I managed to get under 196 almost @ evens. But this is one of the few plays that, honestly, I really could layoff. Still, I know who's the better sports bettor from the two of us, and it only seems right that way to tail you again.
With that said, did everyone see what was happenin' last night? Or what has been happening all season long? It seems like the Thunder players, mainly Durant, Westbrook and Harden have realized what I've been saying for a over a year now: that team is still somewhat deficient in the half-court sets. So they are trying to either run up and down on or exploit every single one-on-one match-up as soon as possible. That's my only concern, is that if they start running and gunning, the Lakers can't slow it down.
