I saw a ton of movement at all my books, moving 2-3.0 pts to PK.

Everyone seems to feel Stoudemire's absence plus perhaps some "due theory" with Magic... I was very tempted to take Magic at +2.5 thinking their talent is definitely better, and they have always been strong at home (last 19 games not withstanding).

But I hate jumping on a line move late, so I stayed away.... GL to all if you took Orlando.

Without a last minute injury (Stoudemire's absence was known in advance), I haven't seen such strong line movement in the last 10 minutes in a while.

Was there some other last minute scratch or are people just jumping on the Stoudemire angle late?

Due theory also known as the Gamblers Fallacy, is the main reason gamblers fail.

Orlando down by 15 with 4 min left in the first. Orlando is due to loose again. the trend is your friend (19-0)

I know is early but 41-23 after the first?? Orlando's defense has quit. Shameful

I never bet "due theory" but I wonder if the Stoudemeire absence was catalyst for so many players to take Orlando. I'm not just talking squares but I've seen a lot of respected cappers take Orlando tonight. That plus the strong, late line movement scared me off. I almost took the Suns just based on contrarian angle but figure abstinence was the best policy.

Wow, from nightmare to miracle? I'm not even on this game but find it a bit exciting rooting for you guys who took the Magic.
