    Good pick. NJ is reeling and last game of road trip.

    Not sure bro. I don't really worry about things like that. I bet on the number. Last night I had raptors +9 with their best scorers injured and they had it covered until a meaningless foul with 7 seconds left turned it into a push. The NBA is trickier than other sports, I try not to get caught up in the emotions of injuries and just stick to the numbers.

    I use the same approach, I only look at the numbers, I figure that the lines makers are smart enough to know who is out and what it means.

    I'm on Minnesota due to these numbers:

    Win % road/home:

    New Jersey 16.7%
    Minnesota 42.9%

    Actually I thought that -5 was pretty generous.

    Yes those are all important numbers for sure. I also like the -5 because it has been cashing for both home and away teams. Even numbers like 6,8,10+ have been coin tosses. The 4.5,5,7,7.5 have been cashing on faves in spots like these. +9 has been giving a slight edge to the +

    Do you guys factor in teams coming off of a break, or teams that have been on the road for a few games?

    No, but I also don't factor in their mothers maiden name so what is the point?... some things are better left out of an equation. Unless i know them personally and know exactly what they were doing last night, and how well they handle their liquor if they were boozing, I can not use that as useful information.

    I don't. I'm too busy with my young wife getting NEKKID all the time to do all that research.

    only takes 2 seconds to find out where the teams played their last few games. ESPN posts them 3 at a time for your convenience.
