Missed out on the LA Clippers line by .5... after they were up by 16. God that pisses ya off.

Tomorrow i like Philli -6.5pts over Cavs who are struggling.
Also like the over 204pts for Dallas vs Golden State

 

[Borgsta]

God damn it, it got to my magic point of 12 point difference for 189 (was 177.5 for about 30 seconds) so that missed timing has cost me majorly.

fudge me it finished on 189 so i had the middle

Atlanta/New Jersey Under 186.5 & New Jersey +6.5 - Like the look of the Jersey/Atlanta Unders. Both teams struggling to score the basket and New Jersey is the slowest team in the league so you can expect a full half court game because after last night you can be sure Atlanta won't be out running. But this is the little worry, how do Atlanta pull up from last night and can they continue putting the energy they are to succeed defensively. I'm tempted by the Nets at the line here after Atlanta has face Orlando last night, tough match, would have taken a lot out of them, and Miami the other night. Nets coming off a thumping by Boston, Avery not happy, described their practise yesterday as football like, you can expect them to be very competitive, especially on the boards.

Philadelphia 1st Quarter over Cleveland & Philadelphia 1st Half over Cleveland - Sixers playing really well lately, especially first quarters and halves. They've got a superior bench to the Cavs and should be able to smother the 3 ball.

Houston 1st Quarter over Detroit - Houston is a very good first quarter home team and i think the bigs of Miller and Scola will control the first quarter as the Detroit bigs are poor. Bench will help Detroit in the game as a whole. Somewhat tempted by Detroit +7 as the three guards, Stuckey, Hamilton and Gordon are starting play together in a unit. Rotations have been so these three can be on the court at the same time and it seems to be work well. Those bigs worry me though.

LA Lakers 1st Half over Washington - Washington are a terrible first half team giving up almost 11 points on the road in first halves. Lakers won't/shouldn't hold back early after there 4 game losing streak wasn't that long again, they can't afford to relax.

New Jersey +6.5 against Atlanta
Philadelphia 1st Quarter over Cleveland

Really like all these plays Cruiser...

I'm a little worried about Cleveland though... Maybe I am over thinking it, but surely they have to show something here? They have been pathetic.

 

[Rick18]

This is just off the top of my head so I'm probably wrong, but I seem to remember Golden State playing Dallas pretty well the last couple of seasons (since the playoff series). Considering taking them at the line once I get round to looking at the past results.

 

[soho]

rule #1; past results are not indicative of future performance

Thinking for me is Cleveland has a home game, after today, in between their 3 game road trip and their 4 game road trip. They play tomorrow night against Chicago, not sure they'll be up and about tonight. They may be still reeling from their smashing at the hands of LeBron also. Sixers are playing well lately albeit against lesser teams, especially in the first halves. They'll contain the Cleveland shooters and make them score inside which isn't really a strength and play tough, solid defense. Though from the past, i'll take one and that go down but the other wins. May just take both.

Might just play one of the Sixers bets, leaning towards the Half. Gives me a little wiggle room if the Cavs do somehow, from somewhere manage to put back to back first quarters together, you can pretty much bank on Collins giving his team a rocket at the quarter time break. If the Sixers get up early, don't see the Cavs having enough fight as they'll start to begin to doubt themselves.

 

[Cruiser23]

Thinking about Charlotte too today. Denver aren't the same away from home and have a 4 game road trip coming up where they play the Boston next up tomorrow. Charlotte are also a better team at home and seem to get up for the better teams. They've also had two days to to rebound from their poor showing against the Sixers and then another two after to prepare for Indiana. They need to get out of this shooting slump, hopefully Larry has addressed the issue in their two day break. Also read on another site that Larry Brown said yesterday was Charlotte's best training session for the year (can't find a link though).

GSW used to own Dallas for a while even before the playoff series, but that was mainly due to Stephen Jackson - and really, GSW are a completely different team now.

If there's value, it's probably going to be in taking Monta vs. Dirk (assuming evens or better). Dallas have traditionally sucked against quick guards who can knock in a jumper or two...although they've been a tad better this season.

Also like Houston -7, Pistons are really bad.

 

[RequiemBlade]

A lot of first half/first quarter plays to consider:
Philadelphia over Cleveland first half; Philly have an average margin of +1.9 at home while Cleveland have an average of -7.7 away.
Dallas over Golden State first half; Dallas are +3.4 at home while GSW are -9.6 away.
LA over Washington first half; LA are #1 in the league with +8.8 at home and Washington are the lowest in the league with -10.6 away.
Houston over Detroit first quarter; Houston average 28 at home while Detroit average 21.7 away.
Dallas over Golden State first quarter; Dallas average 25.1 at home, GSW average 21.9 away.
LA over Washington first quarter; LA average 28.6 at home and Washington average 23.4 away.

I prefer taking the halves as it allows more time for the averages to 'work' and kind of lowers the effect of outliers (a bit hard to explain ). Will probably take Philly FH, Houston FQ, Dallas FH, LA FH.

 

[Bic]

Starting off with the early games, see how they go before I add more:

2 units- Denver Nuggets @ 1.76
2 units- New Jersey/Atlanta OVER 185.5 @ 1.91
1 unit- Atlanta TT OVER 96 @ 1.83

YTD: (2.13) units

 

[DT_35]

A lot of first half/first quarter plays to consider:
Denver over Charlotte first quarter; Denver average 26.5 at home in the first quarter while Charlotte are last in the league with 20.6 away.
.

Denver are playing @ Charlotte

 

[footyman18]

Denver -2
Phx/por over 204
Phi -7
$10 @ 6.85

 

[pistol17]

Play of the day for me is the UNDER is the Portland/Phoenix game.

Currently sitting at 203.5 (sportsbet)

Last Meetings (9)
Total 189 - line was at 200
195 - line was 206
183 - line was 203
197 - line was 204
209 - line was 204 (OVER by 5)
205 - line was 204.5 (OVER by 0.5)
180 - line was 209
209 - line was 209.5
207 - line was 204 (OVER by 3)

From the past nine meetings between these two sides only 3 have gone over and each time it has it was only just. I will be loading up on the 203.5 under line.

Using playoffs and comparing it to regular season is a very dangerous thing to do pistol. This years 198 game which you have left off for some reason should have hit 210 if it were not for a complete collapse by Phx in the last qtr.

I got the scores from vegasinsider.com

Just went off what they had on there. Maybe I was looking at the wrong thing....

Good first quarter in Atlanta
