Anyone Else Think MIA -5.5 and UTA -2.5 Are Both Fishy?

[Speedy88]

Anyone else find these two lines fishy.

Before the line for the Heat/Lakers came out, I knew that if the line was set higher than 5 then it would likely be a trap. By setting the line this high, Vegas is well aware that a majority of the public would jump on LA.

And by setting it at UTA -2.5, I think they knew close to 75% would be on Utah.

I have a much easier time backing Utah because I think Dallas is in a much tougher spot.

But don't all you LAL backers feel like this line is a "bit too easy of a choice?"

Not for me lol just go hornets. It should hit since the master said

The lines today are def a bit weird...which usually means u should stay away.

But for the action junkies, they gotta bet =/ In which case I'd go with MIA -5.5 and DAL +2.5

Oh I'm already on it. Once it got BW good graces, I went in on Hornets +10.5.

Anyways, I was thinking that if the line was over 5 for the Laker-Heat game, that I'd probably take Miami. I had a feeling Vegas would try to dictate which way the public would go. Vegas knows that this game will probably bring in a ton of cash. IMO the lines are screaming for people to take LAL.

Public all over LAL and Utah....Probably stay away. Put a little on the Under 191.5 for heat game. Like the lakers D and if esp. if LBJ isn't in.

[Speedy88]

I'm already leaning Heat, but I am leaning towards taking Utah as well. Dallas will always have its backers, and a lot of people haven't caught up with how good Utah actually is. Right now according to thespread, it is 64%/36% with the majority on utah. I would feel a lot better about Utah if that number stays closer to 60% than 70%.

How can you not take Lakers with no Wade, Bron with flu.

Yep.

And the game is on TNT, you know Kobe loves showing the young guys on Miami who the real King is on national TV

the same way people took the Suns with no Rose on Tuesday. And LBJ is probable. Maybe it'll be like a Jordan "flu game" lol

[Speedy88]

LeBron will come to play regardless of the flu.

And exactly. Doesn't this line seem a little to obvious to take Lakers +5.5? Makes me really like my Heat play. I told myself last night that if the line was over 5 pts, then this would likely be a trap for Laker backers. And low and behold, when I wake up,the line is -5.5 to go along with an ailing LeBron.

dallas has been awful the last 2 games. jason kidd is awful, hayward has no touch around the basket, and shawn marion plays no defense. 3rd game in 4 nights for dallas and utah is young and fresh. i'm taking the jazz

[shark2434]

Why utah's ML having such high odds? And it even keep increasing! It is 1.74 now (-135) I can't figure it out .... is it coz CP3 is back? Even if he's back, still fair chance utah is gonna win. Oh well, Utah's killed Denver recently despite being the big dog.

Miami by 4; Utah by 1

Fair line if you ask me even without Wade, Lakers have only won one road game this year.
