    I like the Chicago play. Only thing worse at the moment than the Nets play is their road record.

    Bulls -3

    Nets B2B too. Not getting any easier for them.

    Yeah i'm liking quite a few of the favourites tommorrow. Pacers should beat Knicks easily. What about the Spurs at the Clippers? Is Duncan gonna be OK? He playing?

    Actually the more i look at this board the more i think one of the home teams to lose tommorrow will be either the Cavs or Wizards. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.

    That's a tough one for me to call, i really have no feel at all for this game. But the Hawks have been playing well recently, at home tommorrow, GS crappy lately. I think it would be the way to play it.

    Just a thought

    TCU and Colo State

    meeting #1:
    teams shoot combined .406 from field and score 157

    meeting #2:
    teams shoot combined .470 from field and score 163

    aggregate:
    teams shoot combined .435 from field and average 160 ppg

    total tonight is 141.5
    BM is expecting teams to shoot combined 38% or less?

    o141.5@ Colo St.

    totals set by books for previous matchups were 141 & 137.5
    both obviously went over significantly
    yet they set this line about the same???
    i like the under

    You might be right. It's a suspiciously large oversight.

    We'll see.

    I'm gonna play the over.

    BTW- I'm dumbfounded by this move on the Warriors. I can't abide giving road points with that bunch against anybody in the L.

    Keeping a close eye on LAC half time.

    SA only 3-7 ATS without rest, and not very good as a fav or less than 5: 4-7 ATS (not counting dogs). As a fav of less than 5 pts on no rest, SA is 1-5 ATS.

    Would be all over Clippers if they had been playing better, but with their recent slump I prefer to wait for 2H.

    I really want to play the Hawks, but I don't know now that the line is moving the other way. What gives?

    Healthy Baron, I guess. BFD.

    =========================
    The Golden State Warriors have gone from the doghouse to favorites since opening as a pick’em for tonight’s contest with the Atlanta Hawks.

    Early betting favored the Hawks, who rose to as high as –1 ˝. But late action has flip-flopped that number and made the Warriors 1 ˝-point road favorites.

    “There are no new injuries listed for this game, so it’s all been sharp money,” says Sebastian Chalmers of Bodog.com. “We had a couple early sharp bets on Atlanta, but since then all the sharp money has been on Golden State.”

    The move likely has to do with the playing status of Baron Davis. The Warriors point guard returned from injury on Sunday against Minnesota, but was admittedly ineffective.

    The Contra Costa Times reported this morning that Davis may get fewer minutes because of a nagging ankle injury, which may have caused the initial line move. But Covers Expert Bryan Leonard feels that the most recent adjustment indicates the wise guys believe he’ll play his share of minutes.

    “Davis is definitely a 3-point player,” says Leonard. “His presence is a significant boost
    =========================
    ("Bodog" and "sharp money" in the same sentence!!

    Don't tell IMG -- or if you do, step back!!!)
