Would like to keep a thread on these that I am playing. I only play dogs and only when my line and offshore differs by 3 or more. I have Charlotte favored by -1 1/2 to -2 so Philadelphia is the play at +5 1/2. Lines out there are Philly at +5 and +5 1/2 as of 9:52 ea. No play at less than 5.
Both of these squads are inevitably going to be publicly perceived to be stronger than they actually are due to strong recent performances, games where you have two of those type of teams (we all know Philly should have won against orlando) scare me.
Basically how I handicap the NBA are 3 things. Overall performance, home and road figures, and recent performance. OP favores Philly, Charlotte gets a few points based on Philly's poor road record (but covering) and recent performance is pretty even. I see a small edge for Charlotte being at home but not 5 points better. We'll see.
Hawk, it would take too long to write it up but it involves the 3 factors I mentioned above. Here are my lines for all the games but I only look to play dogs and a 3 pt or more difference from the offshores.
New Jersey PK
Orlando-13
Atlanta-3
Boston-7
Milw-7 1/2
