Interesting.
I didn't fire on Miami under today because Whiteside is out, and I think that changes everything.
But I did go with Heat -1 -105, and I am considering grabbing this.
Edit: I did go with it, under 208.
Let's NOT go, Cavs and Pistons!

I also love the Pistons ML. Should be +125 imo
Las Vegas sure knows their shit. Cavs leading 66-58 at the half. I took this in game hoping they can't keep this pace up the entire game.
Under 229½ (-115)

38 total free throws were shot in the first half and only 5 by Drummond so the clock was stopped a lot.
Yeah what a disaster with the Cavs one. To be honest, I was a bit nervous about it, knowing they were actively trying for a faster pace, but I was talked into it by the previous arguments posted here + Haralabob's tweet.
On the bright side, my Miami one is looking good so far, and my avoidance of the under was a :gooddecision
All over Blazers -5.5 tonight, on my way to Moda Center shortly.
Pre-game degen firing like I usually do when going in person. I hardly ever make reasoned picks that are my own.
The Hornets are my favorite team, and this is the third game of a four-game West coast trip.
They beat the Kings on Monday in an epic 2OT game (Boogie had 56) before getting WAXED by the Jazz.
They're short-handed against a fiery Blazers team that wants to stick it to Batum. Kidd-Gilchrist returning will fuck up perimeter shooting.
Cavs are rolling but lots of fail from Lebron tonight:
Cavs pace number has actually gone down in the 3 games under Lue. This game was a fluke with 40% more free throws than expected. Tough to win an under with the clock always stopped.
We move on.
Gary Woodland +470 to win Farmers Insurance Open
Walter football now has Shaq going to the Giants in round 2 at pick 40. He's up to 12.5 at sites who have draft props.
In UFC betting, Ryan Bader has moved from +320 to +225 behind 67% of bets vs. Anthony Johnson.
gimme the panthers -10 and -13/14 for +odds
Just read somewhere that Luke Kuechly, linebacker for Carolina, has more post season TD's this year, than all of the Denver WR's combined.
thnk me later
Interesting situation with Golden State / Philly game...
So I was up briefly around 6am, due to being sick.
Looked at the NBA lines and saw Philly/Golden State 217.5 total, and considered hammering Golden State over again.
Noticed that Philly's recent increased scoring has been somewhat aided by OTs, including a 2OT game.
Decided that I was too afraid of a 125-90 type result, and backed off of it. I just didn't trust Philly enough to score a lot.
Halftime it was 73-54, for 127 points. So it looked pretty much like a lock, and I was annoyed with myself for not betting it.
Then only 36 points came in the 3rd, and 50 in the 4th. Final score 108-105. Wasn't even as close as it looked (total-wise), because there was a ton of scoring in the final 2 minutes.
That would have been a brutal beat had I bet it.
I bet Warriors -10.5 first half and -17.5 for the game. First half was an easy cash then the Warriors shooting went uncharacteristically very cold in the second half, along with them being very sloppy with the ball too.
It's crazy how the Warriors blew a 24 point lead that they had at one point early in the third quarter needing to make a shot on their last possession to win the game.
Amazing stat of the Day:
Warriors had 26 assists in the first half and only 35 points in the second half.
I bet Spurs -1.5 tonight. They just continue to cover games and even though the Cavs are good at home I still can't pass this up.
I went with San Antonio as well, -1.5 -105
I think Cavs will be tired from yesterday, and SA is a better team.
It's one thing beating Detroit, it's another beating the Spurs.
