    Why are the Grizzlies only a 4 pt favorite tonight at home against the Heat?



    Memphis is a good team. 16-11 overall and 9-4 at home. The Heat on the other hand beat their meat. 11-16 and 5-9 away from home. Also they are all banged up and injured. What are we missing here? Line opened at 5 and dropped to 4.

    Looks like Grizzlies ML tonight might be great value.

      Memphis is dealing with injuries and the Heat have looked good when Dragic plays

              My stacking percentages forecast shows Memphis winning by 5 while the non-predictive public gauge shows Memphis winning by 6.

              Maybe 4 is a little low, that gauge is a measure of public perception and this thread exists.

              One thing I can tell you, by tip off there will be more money and more bets in the marketplace on Memphis.

              The books knew what they are doing when they ticked down the opener.

              Good Luck Debacle!

                Griz line is mysteriously skinny.. Looks like a trap..

                In on the Grizz at home anyways.. Looks very good to me on paper.. Gotta try it despite the fishy nature of it all...

                  I do not see any official injuries listed for Memphis

                  seems like everyone playing

                    Under is dropping

                    I think the under is the play here

                      Whiteside is expected back and Gasol is beat up even though he's likely to play

                        Miami got absolutely destroyed against Utah last game. From start to finish. Curb stomped.

                          If Miami was at home, that desire to bounce back will weigh more in the market than the road game, based on my figures, but still in good point to bring up about Miami.

                          Under conventional wisdom, Miami looks bad and should be abandoned, all the more reason for the line to drift upward.

                          I see Pinny offering even money for the -4.

                          The books most certainly happy to take bets on the favorite today. A move down would be a bit of RLM and the only "sharp" bets that we've identified in the marketplace were placed on Miami earlier this morning.

                            Heat 5 game in a week on the road. Difficult to understand this line.

                              I've watched all Memphis games, they're back to grit and grind. They win a lot of games, but by small margins. Very good defensively. They don't blow away teams, If they get down by 20 points, they're done. -4 sounds accurate.

                                Mike Conley listed as probable for Memphis but he's been "sore" so maybe they have limiting plans for him tonight.

                                Maybe he sits.

                                                I've heard the "Pinnacle Lean" isn't valid anymore. Makes me wonder sometimes.

                                                      Classic trap bet as it looks to be good on paper so you load up and play on the ML.. JJ and myself sniffed it out as a possible TRAP play... I held back as that word TRAP sounded out loud and clear with this one..

                                                      I still bet it and lost. Didn't load up though.. It's gotta be a really special occasion for that.. Grind continues... Live and learn gents.. Ugghhh...


                                                      Gotta come clean with the good and the bad..

                                                            Thanks for posting guys. I didn't have the courage to make a bet at the start of the game but when I saw the Heat had a chance to cover I took them at the half.
