Tuesday Bet O The Day 3/29

OccamsRazor · Mar 29, 2005

YTD 9-20
SIDES 6-11
TOTALS 3-9

Won with the UNDER in the Memphis/Chicago game last night.

Clippers are 15-12 as a road dog, mostly covering due to getting generous points. Clippers are losing their road games by an average of 6 points. Overall Clippers are 7-25 on the road; needless to say, they are a bad road team.

Cavaliers are also a bad road team, but at home they are winning by an average of 9 points as the favorite. Cavs 7-3 ATS at home last 10 haven't had many home games lately. How is Clev on backtobacks? Clev is 3-1 ATS on backtobacks in the Away to Home position. Clev playing for playoff position. Clippers in fodder position.

Momentum continues with Cleveland tonight. This is a bet against a poor traveling Clipper team.

Curiously, the Clips are 3-0 ATS in the first of 3+ road games and 3-1 in road games when their opp. has no rest. They also won their last two starts of long road trips last year in the conditions when they were not no rest v. rest.

Of course, that type of comeback by the Cavs, which likely featured some vocal team leadership, may carry over significantly tonight.

Cavaliers have lost their last 9 b-b games. This game which is a worst third in four coupled with ot and here Lebron played 53 minutes will be their tenth game without 2 days rest. Clipps getting 4 or less points are 10-6 ats this season. :icon_conf

Is Simmons doubtfull. It says so at the NBA site but not anywhere else.

Simmons is leading candidate for most improved player of the year.

Also Clipps have lost 12 in a row on the road outside Staples. (One "Road" game they won was at Staples vs Lakers when they were deemed the road team.)

Clippers lose their 13th straight road game. Cavs win by 10 as game plays to objective form.

Simmons did not play as noted in the NBA.com game notes. No media outlet picked up on his doubtful status. NBA game notes are a must read for an NBA Capper. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but some newbies might not be aware. The game note section is what media writers refer to when writing their stories. Game notes are filled with esoteric information that aids the writers in writing more colorful stories and the info can also lead the Capper to the right side.
