    Play the Denver Nuggets and Atlanta Hawks Tonight, 11-30-16

    Miami is dinged up bad. They only scored 31 first half points the other night against Boston. Denver is no place to be playing short handed. The Nuggets will run them out of the building in the thin air. Right now Denver is laying 6. I'll lay it.

    The Atlanta Hawks are finishing up a 5 game west coast road trip. They won the first, but then dropped 3 in a row. Tonight is their easiest game, playing the 5-13 Phoenix Suns. Look for the Hawks to return home to Hotlanta in a good mood. Lay the 5.5.

    As always, best of luck
    Harry

    "Lay the Points" basically means give up the points or take the team with the -6, for example. It is really just slang - that's funny it's different where you are.

    Wow. Did not know that. In my vernacular you'd lay the points (bet the favorite) or take the points (bet the underdog). Lesson learned.

    When betting exchanges were introduced over here, you say you can either bet the Hawks or lay them. I guess it does mean fade, both side of the atlantic... lay the points = lay the team with the 'inverted handicap' ...i think

    Tempted on the Hawks, but I'll give a swerve. I'm not into betting such flaky teams. GL

    Does "give a swerve" mean "There's no friggin' way I'm gonna put my hard-earned money on a crap team like the Hawks whose best player Dwight Howard is only playing for them because no other team wanted him"....?

    Sort of! I see the potential in them but they're not using Milsap enough for my liking. Too much Schroder & Howard.
