    Clippers ML +127

    MONEYLINES

    10/24 13:34 -128 / +116
    10/24 15:29 -131 / +119
    10/25 09:16 -129 / +117
    10/25 16:13 -135 / +122
    10/26 08:38 -137 / +124
    10/27 08:48 -140 / +127

    (Line movement from Pinnacle)

    Anyone have an opinion on this game? Blazers playing back to back and looked pretty good last night. Clippers are going to be much improved with Griffin back and I got to think they take the home opener. +127 is a good price but do you think the line will continue to go up?

    im gonna pass on this game.. but i like the clips at 1st glance, griffin will dominate aldridge IMO..
    although, i think i saw someone said before that blazers are the best team to bet on b2b..
    also i doubt b.diddy..

    Playing b2b in only the 2nd game of the season won't affect a team much. Just my 2 cents.

    I like the Clips in this but its not a good bet imo. Blazers did NOT look good last night imo, Suns are pretty bad and they were in the game in the 4th before Blazers made a run at the end. Back to back, Clips at home, a decent team.

    Blazers were the best b2b team last year, line movement doesn't say much at all.

    Blazers being the best at b2b is fairly irrelevant as well ... That trend rarely goes from year to year plus with all those injuries they are a different team

    Its up to +131 now at my book. I'll most likely play the Clips tonight no matter how well the Blazers did LAST YEAR on b2b games.

    Brand new year remember that. Just a value pick here I think its a toss up.

    Recognizing trends and numbers will only help a play, I don't see how that isn't irrelevant. They played well on back to back games last year, how is that irrelevant?

    Its not irrelevant if you want to use trends then go ahead. I use trends all the time but last years Clippers team compared to this years is that their healthy to start the year. I`ll take a stab at the Clips +131 opening night.

    dont be so sure Griffin will dominate Aldridge. College Griffin would dominate college Aldridge but Griffin has yet to step on the court for a regular season game and Aldridge is skilled and experienced

    This Clippers team is gonna have to burn me before I won't fade them at this short price. Portland have winning in there DNA and Clips have losing on there DNA. Tonite Portland expects to win. Clippers have not proved anything although they have a talented rookie. Once Clippers start burning me I back off but not until then at this price.

    You can't go wrong on the long run taking home dogs, even though I think Blazers are the play here. Good luck, D3.

    Back down to +125

    10/27 14:41 -145 / +131
    10/27 14:55 -141 / +128
    10/27 15:53 -137 / +124
    10/27 15:54 -138 / +125

    6 cent move in just over an hour in favour of the Clips. By the way I have not bet this game yet. Theres still 6 hours before tip-off in this game and with everyones input I might just stay away from the game.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback

    Theres a great write-up about this game in another SJ55 NBA Picks thread.

    I think he's convinced me to stay off this game, check it out if your going to play this game.
