How can anyone cap NBA this early?

Journeyman · Nov 2, 2004

After weeks and weeks of looking at baseball games and football games, knowing team rosters , every inch of data, we switch to the NBA...

I just can't see how anyone can make heads or tails of it for atleast a few weeks... :WTF:

Somebody is capping it, take a look at how some of the lines have moved off the cris openers.

Cav's opened as a 2.5 point dog and are now a 3 point fav.:WTF:

I think part of it was a new 'adjusted' line due to all the Pacers' injuries.

Elsewhere, Pinnacle had an early line last week of the Lakers -6. It dropped to 2.5 before settling at 3 now. They also had an early line of Memphis -7. It's now up to 13 at Pinnacle though mostly 11.5 elsewhere.

Remember chemistry is vital and bet accordingly. Also keep in mind thin teams with poor benches generally aren't exposed too bad early on. Back to back games also aren't as tough as they will be a few weeks into the season.

This early is mostly trend/system betting or dart throwing.

Some standard info on the Raptors.... New Coach and new gameplan, Raptors will play a faster tempo game then last year, emphasis was on defence last year and Raptor game totals were generally in the 160's, Coach Mitchell wants a faster tempo and more points. Raptors are hurting at the PG position as well to start the season. Not sure what totals they will put out for the Raps to start the season but if you see 160's again I would strongly lean to the OVERS until line adjustments are made.

FWIW
