This seems like a light line on a neutral court between these two teams, and shouldn't the Spurs be closer to being the home team? That aside, San Antonio should be able to score at will the way the Timberwolves are playing defense (or more accurately, aren't playing) right now, and even the San Antonio defense has improved this year allowing 92.1 points per game on 42.9 percent shooting. Note that I have not made a play here yet, I am just befuddled because I thought this line would be either -6, -6.5 or -7. Am I missing something?

I have em at -6....they have struggled up there. Wolves play no defense look at that total.
The spreads that are way off are Nuggets and Pistons.....Comment -
oh sh!t
not interested in this game....Comment -
-4 sounds about right to me.
*nvmComment -
i think the line is right. it's an international game and anything could happen in this situation, but we do know that spurs are 8-1 in international games and 3-1 in mexico city.Comment -
LT you better believe this game is fixed.
The mexican mafia has already given instructions to the refs.
Unless you have inside info i would passComment -

San Antonio to Mexico is no big deal, players probably take their WAGs shopping over the border on off days all the time.

San Antonio to Mexico City is about 800 miles, so about a two-hour flight. And they are in same time zone (CT).Comment -
Got Spurs at -3.5 when my book opened. Big units too, too much value to pass up.Comment -
maybe they should use one of the drug cartels underground high speed bullet trains.Comment -
Playing under 206. Mexico city elevation is at 7,943 feet. For comparison Denver is only 5280. See both teams tiring out late in the game.
Is this a crazy assumption?Comment -
The Timberwolves have been idle since Sunday and draw San Antonio playing itsfourth game in six days. Minnesota rank among the top three in free throw shooting percentage and averaged eight more points per game than the Spurs, who have played an easier schedule and might be missing Boris Diaw.Comment -
Minnesota is like 10-60 vs very good teams or betterComment -
I love how the total just keeps climbing up. Gonna pull the trigger on the 1h under but waiting to get a better total. Number currently 103.5 will likely close at 104Comment -
mexican drug lords trying to blow up the stadium.
game postponed...Comment -
Books probably realised they set the line too low and boat was too heavy on Spurs so they decided to get the game postponedComment -
some shady stuffComment
