Well, on the last-second-just-before-gametime-switcheroos I'm 1-1, as Detroit eked out a cover tonight. Guess there ain't no legitimacy to ALWAYS playing your gut.
For the late game, I hate to play two road favs in the NBA, but the Rockets (as yet underappreciated as one of the league's elite teams) are just in an entirely different class than the Clips. Though 4.5 is an enormous number to lay on the road, perhaps the high score in this one will offset the effect of any line. Clips just can't (er, shouldn't) be able to play ball with Yao, Franchise & Co.
Play:
Hou -4.5
