    Which dog? Nets or TWolves?

    Let's say I gotta choose one. Who has the better shot at winning? Nets against the Sixers who usually beat up on them, or pretty good TWolves at home against a constantly improving Grizzlies?

    Spread for both is around +2 so it makes sense just to bet ML. But I can't decide who. The way I figure at least one of them will win.

    If you think 1 of them would at least win, then bet 50% of the money you wanted to bet per team.

    Will give you a small profit if 1 wins and a bug profit if both wins.

    I considered that too. I really don't see them both winning, but crazier things have happened in the NBA.

    Watch them both lose and the Cavs win.

    This is what you said, so I would go with the 50% on both ML's.

    If I gotta choose, I would choose the Nets tho

    I would lean more towards the Nets in this spot against my Sixers. Best of luck

    I was thinking Cavs might win tonight to. Not because they're better the the Pacers but because they might just want it more. Plus Pacers have lost something like 15 of their last 16 road games.

    yes, the cavs might pull it out tonight. i'll take the +5.5/6. i also like the nets moneyline. philadelphia and indiana should not be favored on the road, but folks are willing to buy these two as favorites tonight. i don't get it.

    You think Cleveland should be favored at home against the Pacers? They may win but if you play that game 100 times no way Cleveland wins 50 or more. And given their recent performances even if you think they do win 50+ there is no way the linesmakers can make Cleveland a favorite and still try to balance their books. Right now it appears that 2/3 + of the money is being bet on the Pacers. The books don't make a habit of having 90+ of their money on one side and that would be the case if the Cavs were favored at this point.

    according to vegasinsider, philadelphia is commanding 79% of the money and a play on the pacers owns 86%. even with these shiitty lines, an overwhelming majority of the money is coming in on these two lousy road teams. i don't see a 50/50 split. if somewhere, you are finding different information than this, could you tell me where i might find it?

    timberwolves for me, they have been playing solid ball at home lately, losing to okc in overtime and blowing out the raptors. besides, why would a team which won 6 out of their last 7 games be only a 2.5 point fav vs a team who lost 6 out of their last 7, and have won 2 in a row only 2 times this season? it seems too easy to take memphis..

    Well...

    It appears the correct answer was neither. And my other dog option that I didn't play due to injuries was Detroit... who got raped. I think I should stick to faves in the NBA.
