    Two things

    1) The public typically stinks at finding dogs, and
    2) Friday nights are often a bloodbath for road teams.

    Keep that in mind if you're on the following:

    Suns +1 (81% of the pulblic) @ Washington
    Jazz +5.5 (69% of the public) @ Boston
    Bucks -7 (53% of the public) @ Cleveland
    Knicks +9 (75% of the public) @ San Antonio
    Lakers -1 (77% of the public) @ Denver

    These teams are either popular faves or popular dogs -- all on the road. In Utah and New York's case, they're popular road dogs -- not a good combo at all on a Friday night.

    I like Boston, San Antonio and Denver. No way am touching the Wiz or the Cavs.

    what site do you use to get your stats from? All the sites I go to vary widely and can't be relied upon. Share the wealth Also, I agree with you. The public usually gets the underdogs wrong (Clippers last night). I'm on the WAS train tonight even though betting on them has been very unprofitable thus far for me. NBA betting 101 says you shouldn't bet against LAL or BOS in high profile games when they're at home...I don't know if this game vs UTAH counts as high profile, but I wouldn't bet that game. I don't get how the lowest scoring team in the league is getting 7 points even if it is vs one of the worst teams of all time. Games you don't make bets on are just as important as the games you DO bet!

    Wiz are pretty solid at home. Not like Suns are a good team in the 1st place.

    Best bets are UNDER 184.5 in the Hornets-Hawks game and OVER 213.5 in the Wizards-Suns game. Also like Lakers (-1) or PK at Denver.

    I like Utah tonight. This is a spot where they need to step up and at the very least play a competitive game. Boston is a little off right now even though they are winning.

    how many days on the road, length of travel from previous game etc.. a lot of factors come into play when dissecting.

    Really like the Wiz but they've burned me several times in seemingly good spots.

    Are you sure the public is on Utah? All day bets trending away from Utah and a half point move with it. Seems like intial play was on Utah but public likes Celts at home for obvious reasons.

    Down to 62%, but yes, public's still on Jazz.
