    I know he thinks Memphis is overrated and UCLA benefitted
    from a close game. Other than that I dont know why he
    likes them.

    NBA Saturday

    LAC (#17) by 2.6 over WAS (#14)
    DAL (#9) by 2.0 over ATL (#25)
    SAC (#8) by 3.0 over UTH (#24)
    DEN (#1) by 0.7 over PHX (#12)

    Take a minute to talk about that last one, which looks like a surprise. Denver is this system's highest rated team over the last 10 games. They have been consistently good -- playing above the expected level in every single one of those 10 games, which is rare. In fact you have to go back to March 3 (a loss at Houston) to find a spot where they earned a game score below average (that is, below 50). Their scores in the last 10 have ranged from 52 to 88. Phoenix on the other hand has dropped some by virtue of some seriously below par efforts, including their last two games and the Portland road loss.

    But note that one of Phoenix's down games, that debacle with the Spurs at home, came without Nash, and I currently do not have a way to adjust for an injury like that with the awarded game scores (although I would like to add that feature). Also, Denver gets significant credit for their recent 7-game road trip against some highly ranked teams -- (and some weaker teams, like the Knicks, who were actually playing pretty well at the time of the Nugs game and thus gave the Nugs a quite decent game score for playing well against them.)

    However PHX is frightening to play against, and now has Amare, and Denver is off a BTB. So caution seems advisable.
    But by my reckoning Denver is an elite team without the reputation of one -- the profile of a profit center.

    I will be hammering PHX.
    May play the 1H ATS, and tease the full game.

    The Amare effect may be working against PHX bettors. A nine pt spread against DEN?

    How about that total? 227! Points are cheap -- laying 9 here is like 6 somewhere else.

    And speaking of totals, 206 is way too high at LA, IMO.
    If the Clips control the game, it goes under.
    Last 7 opponents into Staples have scored:
    89, 87, 85, 102, 67, 87, 83

    That's true. That would be in the 118-109 region. But PHX can get sloppy when they're up DD and over a 100. Could be easy backdoor cover for DEN.

    Price for -9 has been moving between -102 and -110 at Pinny. Now -110.

    2* 1H PHX -5 (or whatever opening line)
    1* PHX -8.5 -107 (canbet)

    227 on phx den is huge

    i thought it would be like 218 but damn!!!!

    you'll know after the 1st quarter whats up cause phx can throw up some huge 1st quarters but i'd have to take the under on this but still these two could go over but 227 is big

    Looks like a good teaser. Think I'll get some of that too.

    (I know we're getting an inflated PHX line because Amare is back, but I'm still playing it. Partially middled: PHX -8.5 -107 and DEN +9.5 -110; early on when the line was more flexible).

    2* Clippers -4.5 -104
    2* Wizards/Clippers Under 205.5 -110
    5* Memphis -3 -105 (I love UCLA to have a let down after the Gonzaga comeback...slow start and not enough to fight back) Never would have thought so before the tourney but I like Memphis in the Final Four

    bama, for future reference, please make sure you post which half you are playing. I know Dallas -7 is the whole game and I assume over 100 is for the first half.
