    Wtf are the Heat only getting 6 points vs the Hawks!???

    What kind of bullshit line is that? Heat have had just 3 games where they were favored by less then 8 at home. Thats Orl, Bos and Dallas! Out of those Dallas and Boston where at -6. So why in the **** are the Hawks -6! Cause big bad mvp Bosh wont play? Give me a break!!!

    I wanted to take atl in this one, but i guess no thanks.

    Bosh out; James questionable

    If Lebron doesn't play, ATL is easy money

    James is playing.

    As expected, Chris Bosh (ankle) out for tonight. Dwyane Wade (knee) and LeBron James (ankle) skip shootaround but both are expected to play.

    I dont buy with not 100% silliness. He said if this was the play-offs he wouldn't even sit out. If you're healthy enough to be on the court then you're 100% is my mentality. Too many times i've heard the bs about some superstar having an hurt ankle or thumb and then going off for 40 points in the game he was suppose to be not 100%. These guys like the drama, i dont buy it. Everyone is banged up a bit, noone is really ever 100% anyway.

    I think tonight is a psychologically relevant game for the Heat. It's probable these two teams will go head to head sometime in the playoffs so I think the Heat will stop messing around. I would think the fact that ATL managed to beat the Kings by only 2 yesterday might make Vegas a little scared and inflate the line, but it seems about right to me.

    actually, the heat have only played "bad ball" without James. they have won without DWade, and they can win without Bosh. the real question.. is james 100%. I wouldnt touch this game on either side

    Bosh being out hurts the defense for the Heat. They are gonna try to run alot more tonight which will probably keep Atlanta a few points behind. Wade is gonna have a big game.

    Line is a bit funny. I guess the injuries to Miami are weighing a little more than expected into it. ATL is playing B2B though, so you'd expect it to be higher.

    I wouldn't be surprised if ATL keeps this one close. They are a good team and should be able to do pretty well underneath the basket with Horford & company. Heat will HAVE to have a huge game from Wade or Lebum to cover this. Probably going to stay away.

    Well you're looking at:

    -Hawks on the road (13-9) vs Heat at home (15-4)
    -Hawks have won 8 of their last 10 while averaging 106.1 points during those 10
    -Hawks consistently blow ass at Miami
    -James will play (how long can you milk a sprained ankle?) and so will Wade (sore knee? whoopty doo)
    -James and Wade at home after 2 days rest, after losing 3 straight, against a Hawks team that struggled to beat the Kings

    The Heat will win this, unless James or Wade re-injure themselves in the 1st half. But seriously, I only see them winning by 4 or 5.

    I went with a Bulls/Heat ML parlay for roughly a -130 payout... which strangely enough is a much better payout than a 6 point teaser (making it Heat pk and Bulls -1.5)??

    a 6 point teaser in basketball would like like an 8 point teaser in football... if you were to tease it 4 points it would be a better payout. good luck

    I know, I just find it funny that the math is so messed up that a pk/pk has a better payout than a pk/-1.5

    The line is down off 6.5 and still dropping...it could be at 5 by tip-off looks like it's settling at 5.5 a little bit. Miami backers would be better served to just wait as this was an inflated line from the tip and everyone bit and too ATL...now the money will start to come in on Miami. I'm off this game though I hate betting these public favorite games.

    Heat lost to both Dallas and Boston SU so maybe linesmakers realized those lines were just a littleeeee off.
