Who Covers Tonight? Denver or Boston or Both?

[csknight3]

Two of the biggest public plays in the playoffs thus far are on Atlanta and Los Angeles. Which public favorite will not cover? Im thinking both Boston and Denver cover but its hard to put money on that.

Neither take the home favs on the ML don't over think it: HOME Teams who win Game 1 in 1st Round are 44-8 (85%) in Game 2.

Lakers crush em but boston pulls the furious upset

[blanco]

The only real justification people have for wanting to bet Denver is that "The Lakers are the big public play". Nothing has changed since game 1 where LAL -5 seemed like a gift. Playoffs are harder for vegas to set traps because it is more public knowledge what to expect. George Carl is a great coach, but the Lakers have Denver outmatched when they are playing with playoff intensity. I'm not really fond of ATL as 4.5 pt favorites after Garnett has had a game to warmup. Cs played them evenly for 3 quarters even though Pierce and Garnett were off. Cs ML may be the play here
