YTD 53-46, +4.45 Units

Won last night with the Spurs. Now 7-1 in my L8. Three plays for tonight....

Minnesota/Memphis Over 195 2 Units

Two of the bottom 7 in the league in defensive FG%, as both teams allow the opposition to shoot around 47% from the field. Minny gives up around 103 ppg, Memphis gives up just under 100 ppg. Wolves have been better lately, winning 4 of their past 6 games, scoring at least 100 points in 5 of those 6 games. I expect this one to play out like the second half of the last meeting between these two, where there was 107 points scored. May not be that high scoring, but feel this one should get to 200.

New York/Oklahoma City Over 214.5
2 Units

Talking about bad defenses, these two teams rank 29th and 30th in terms of defensive FG%. Knicks can't defend anyone and often don't even try, allowing 48% from the field, while giving up a league worst 107 ppg. Thunder not that much better, allowing 103 ppg. The Thunder have been playing some high scoring games lately, as each of their past 3 games have seen both themselves as well as the opposition eclipse 100 points. The first meeting of the season between these two teams resulted in a 116-106 final. I see more of the same tonight.

New Orleans/Los Angeles Over 195.5
2 Units

The total stays low here due to the fact that these two have met twice this season with each game finishing under this current total. I have a feeling the game will be played at a little faster pace and played to a higher score in LA, where the last 4 meetings between these two have seen an average of 209 points per game. I like the fact that both teams are solid 3 PT and FT shooting teams. While I don't expect to see LA get to their season average of 109 points at home, I do think they can top 100. New Orleans should be good for the rest to push this one over.

Best of luck fellas!

i was thinking the same...LAL no bet for me...

I'm no capper... SB knows his job... play this game if you follow SB... I just feel more comfortable with the other two games where the teams with bad defense play each other... but lakers could score over 105... we need NO to score at least 93, 94

GL!

its getting hammered though. already at -1.5. i think that CLE win on sun by WAS should throw the public perception off. CLE lost that game, WAS didnt win it, they were just good enough not to lose. TOR and WAS play close though. 4 ot's in the last 10 matchups. might wait for line to move to TOR as a fav and hit WAS ML

Played over in the Memphis game. Played under 217 in OKC. Even at this 214.5 number you are asking them to have the highest scoring game this season in OKC and you are asking this when both teams have been focusing on defense. Think the first half might go over but do not see it for the game. Lakers game no idea BOL

0-2 So far....

Absolutely brutal...words cannot even explain.

Amazing that the Thunder game stayed under. After quarters of 58, 55, and 57, the fourth quarter resulted in just 36 points. Not sure the last time I watched a Knicks game that included a quarter of just 36 points.

Grizz game never really had a chance after that brutal second quarter of only 30 points. Ugh.

Just waiting on the 0fer....

Gotta love the conspiracy theory. I watched the entire game, there was nothing fishy here at all. Did you even watch the game or did you just look at the final score?

So do you think it had to do with the fact that both teams got tired and the game slowed way down in the fourth quarter, or do you think that all of these multimillion dollar players, as well as these millionaire coaches, fixed this game? Give me a fucking break.

Maybe yes, most likely, no. I do agree that there are probably games here and there that are not on the up and up. Some may have to do with the players, most likely in college, and others have to do with the refs, in the pros.

With all that being said, this game is not even close to being fishy. Not even close. Just because the total dropped a handful of points from the opening number and the fourth quarter was freakishly low, does not mean that the game was fixed.

Didnt mean it to come across that way. Maybe I am just grouchy from the loss, LOL. Me and CK have had dialogue in the past and I am sure he didnt take it the wrong way. At least hope he didnt.
