Phoenix @ Dallas Game- total...

BUCSnotYUCKS · Dec 4, 2008

First off, does anyone have any details to if Nash and Howard are going to play tonight? Last I read is that both were game time decisions, but wasn't sure if anyone had any inside info, or live in both states and have better local media info?

My 2nd question is, I saw that the total opened at 204, it's now at 207. Do we expect it to keep going up or down??

What are people's thoughts on this game?

The latest info I could find was that they were both probable to play. I'm on Dallas -4.5 for this one. Even with Nash likely to play, one day after a stomach flu so bad he couldn't leave his hotel room I'd have to think he'll be a little limited.

BUCSnotYUCKS · Dec 4, 2008

Thanks for that info H-Rob. I know Shaq is playing because of the b2b "rule" with the Suns. This would be Nash's 3rd game in a row missed if he's out. However, the 1st game was due to the thigh bruse. I would think a stomach flu would be through his system in a day, but who knows. The Suns actually played well yesterday on the road, in New Orleans.

The biggest thing I'm pondering is this total. Not sure what I want to do with it yet.

Dec 4 Nash (flu) is in Phoenix's lineup for their match-up with Dallas Thursday.

Dec 4 Howard (ankle) will be a game-time decision when the Mavericks take on the Suns Thursday, the Star-Telegram reports.
Recommendation: Howard was able to rest his sprained ankle on Wednesday as the team lifted weights and watched game film. If Howard misses the game, it will be the seventh consecutive game he has been sidelined.

I'm with you, the 1st half over trends are hard to ignore

Glad we could bring a big winner to the table. I am interested in the 2H line. If it's 104 again, going to pound the UNDER.

102 is tight......

BUCSnotYUCKS · Dec 4, 2008

I use betjam, yes, very tight. Going to do a little more digging and research. Will post my play a couple minutes before 2h

Do you have any thoughts?

Thoughts on the under 102?

jungular10 · Dec 4, 2008

I'm thinking under.

How many units would you put on it?

BUCSnotYUCKS · Dec 4, 2008

(3*) Basketball - 701 Phoenix Suns/Dallas Mavericks under 102 -110 for 2nd Half

Going to go small here compare to the 2H. Hopefully Dallas doesn't really blow this thing wide open and the last 2-3 minutes are scrub time.

If I lose, I still profit 2units on the game, if I win, I'll profit 8units.

GL boys!

Intruder · Dec 4, 2008

my only concern is PHX lack of D tonight.....Mavs may put up a big 3rd, and make us sweat garbage time out

not much.....Mavs may make this a real scary bet with a big 3rd

BUCSnotYUCKS · Dec 4, 2008

Ahhh screw it. I really don't think Dallas wins by 18. Phoenix should make this a game, I would think...

(2*) Basketball - 701 Phoenix Suns -3 -110 for 2nd Half

This actually might be the safest play, but going to try atleast to break even if I lose both
