Saturday Basketball YTD: 13-4 +860

Please note: I just discovered Boston dismissed Sean Williams.

I expect this will have a considerable impact on Boston's ability to defend.

I no longer like this play.

(Though I no longer like the play based on this news, it has been posted and so, win or lose, will be included in my w-L record).

Was this just announced or has it been public knowledge for a while?

I think it's been public knowledge since at least late yesterday
afternoon, maybe even longer. I should've seen it, but somehow I missed it in the process of handicapping.

My bad, for sure. I think now that, to some degree, it has been factored into the pointspread.

clemson 41-33 at the half
checkerboard, check out the troy-ul lafayette game. i put some numbers down on the last 6 games for each team and came up with troy to win by 9.70 to 12.30 points. and troy is at -1 with no movement in the line

Boston minus Williams did indeed prove to be a no cover.

freeneasy, I looked quickly at Troy game -1. Looks good initially. I just haven't had time too look at it real close. Good luck with it and the other picks you've posted in Best Bets.
